05 Nov 2017
  • In a first, Apple is set to come to an Indian college campus to hire talent. It will start with the International Institute of Information Technology-Hyderabad (IIIT-H).
  • There's no clarity about what profiles Apple will offer. However, the college noted AI, automation, data science and deep learning skills are in demand.
  • This comes even as Apple's India revenue doubled year-on-year for the September quarter.

    • Apple likely to hire for Hyderabad and Bengaluru facilities
    Details
  • About 350 BTech, MTech and MSc students have already registered for IIIT-H's placement session which will begin in December.
  • Apple is likely to hire for its Hyderabad and Bengaluru facilities. Apart from it, Google, Microsoft and Philips are among the top companies that have registered.
  • The college says students with knowledge of application-specific integrated circuit and 2D-3D graphic are likely to get placements.

    • IIIT-H had recorded 100% placement last year
    FACT
    Last time, 116 companies registered for placement at the IIT-H and the college secured 100% placement. For Masters grads, average salaries ranged between Rs. 14-17.7LPA, and Rs. 13.4-18.8LPA for BTech grads. "Our students are among the most sought after by the technology/product industry."

    Apple's India expansion plans still hang in uncertainty
    Plans
  • Meanwhile, Apple CEO Tim Cook said two days ago that India revenue doubled year-on-year for the quarter ending September; iPad sales also grew 39%.
  • Though it started local manufacturing of the iPhone SE in May through a partnership with a contract vendor, it hasn't scaled up.
  • The government hasn't yet agreed to its demand for tax incentives and other benefits for local manufacturing.
