I am planning to pursue a PhD in Applied Maths/Stats from NTU or NUS. I am currently doing a master’s in Maths at NTU, and I have a B.Tech in EE from one of the top 5 IITs.

Like US quant firms, which prefer Maths, Stats, and Physics PhDs for quant researcher roles, do Indian quant firms also have a similar preference for PhDs? From what I have seen, most quant research roles in India are bagged by undergraduate students from top tier IITs.
