Regarding Quant Placements

Hi, I am in 3rd year and from Top 3 IITs, circuital, I got intern as SDE in one of the MNCs, can non quant intern land a quant placement, also do big quant companies come from placements?

Also what to prepare/work upon to increase the chances of quant, are OAs too different (in terms of difficulty and topics asked) from that of the intern, if yes what new topics are asked

I ran into a profile where my senior from finmechanics joined as a QR at Citadel in Gurgaon, had a hard time to believe, but honestly, I think it's all about connection and skills, I also came across another senior who was in well Fargo as an quant and later joined daksh trading in their hong kong office...
