Apple Inc. does recruit engineers from India, including from top institutions such as IITs, BITS, NITs, and IIITs. They have a dedicated team in India to find and recruit top talent from around the country. However, like any other company, they have certain criteria and standards that they look for in candidates, and they also have a limited number of open positions at any given time.
Therefore, even if an individual is highly qualified and comes from a prestigious institution, they may not be selected for a role at Apple.
Apple initially hired students from IIIT Hyderabad because its head office is situated in Hyderabad. After this, Apple started approaching old IITs and even top NITs such as Trichy, Surathkal, and Warangal. You will be surprised to know that now Apple even visits BITS Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad Campuses.
So you can rest assured as Apple is now recruiting actively from top technical institutes of the country.

We have witnessed a shift from the EE department to the CSE department due to advancements in computer science. Today, CS is indispensable in every field. AI field is similarly gaining momentum and is expected to reach heights in the future. To make the most out of AI, some universities have started including this course in their current curriculum while the more passionate ones have chosen to create a separate department dedicated to it. For instance, MIT and CMU have recognized the hidden potential of AI and are already establishing a separate department for it.
Many are concerned if IIT Hyderabad will be able to tap the potential of AI rightly or not. However, the MTech in Machine Learning Program offered by IIT Hyderabad is a living example of how well they will be able to establish the AI branch as well.
IIT Hyderabad has some great faculty both in the CSE and EE Department who have great experiences in the field of machine learning, computer vision, speech and image processing, NLP, text processing, statistics and probability, etc.
However, it’s recommended that people go through the curriculum and talk to seniors before taking up this course. Genuine passion and interest in this field is required to take up this course else you will end up regretting your decision.
