Do HFTs hire AI/ML roles from non IITs?
Hello I am aware that QR QT roles are exclusively reserved for the top cream of top IITs ONLY but do they hire for AI/ML roles from non IITs given that the applicant of course is very well versed in the field? I have a lot of interest in this particular area and have been researching for fun since grade 10 and would love to streamline myself into developing more projects which cater to this if they hire from non IITs at all
Is it worth a shot? or should I drop this and focus on more easily accessible (comparatively) internship opportunities the likes of say nvidia?
for context im studying AI/ML at a tier 1 NIT
