IIT-B’s placement season began on a high note on Sunday with over 45 companies visiting the campus on Day 1. Students said one of the highest offers came from trading firm Da Vinci Derivatives, which extended a Rs 2.2 crore package for roles at its Amsterdam office.

It reportedly offered positions to at least three students, although the final tally of offers remained unclear at the time of going to press. What was also unclear was the number of offers the company made for positions in Mumbai and for those in the Amsterdam office.

Hedge fund firm Jane Street made pre-placement offers; its package last year was Rs 3.7 crore. IMC Trading offered Rs 1 crore for roles in its Mumbai office and shortlisted 10 students.
