They include graduate level positions, undergraduate business placements, internships and higher apprenticeships.
PwC said a high proportion of the 2016 hires came from universities in the region including Aston University, Birmingham City University and University of Birmingham.
Midlands regional chairman Matt Hammond said: "Welcoming our new graduates and undergraduates to PwC in the Midlands is always one of the highlights of the year.
"With over 1,600 staff already across the region, we're passionate about promoting the Midlands as a fantastic place to live and work.
"We are delighted that the class of 2016 is drawn largely from the Midlands' high calibre universities. We're committed to investing in our next generation of talent and supporting them through their career development.
"We're already looking to next year's recruitment."
