KIIT Review from a Second Year Student
Likes
- The campus infrastructure is extremely developed. Regular efforts are made to maintain greenery and scenic beauty.
- Senior - junior relationships in KIIT are not at all toxic and seniors are very much cooperative.
- Most faculty in KIIT are IIT, IIM graduates and they take personal care of students.
Dislikes
- The in-time of girl's hostel is significantly less compared to guy's hostel.
- The mess food is very oily and bland. Breakfast served is fine but dinner is mostly inedible.
- In some cases, local professors prefer local students and tend to slightly overmark them.
Remarks :
To apply for BTech in CSE a separate exam called KIITEE has to be given which is held in three phases every year between March to June. For getting admission into CSE 80 percentile and above is required and for ECSE 70 percentile is required. Once the rank cards are produced, a link for seat booking is provided in our gmail IDs. Via that link a payment of 70,000/- can be made which will book our seats and that 70000/- is used to provide us with laptops. Everyone gets their individual laptop and for the 2023 batch Lenovo Thinkbook was given. All details of admission procedure are provided on the kiit.ac.in site. All payments are also made by this link. One drawback of the admission process is that KIIT is very irresponsible about intimations regarding admission date and hostel upgradation or cut-offs.
Course Curriculum Overview :
The course curriculum in KIIT is curated in such a way that it meets international standards. Most of the materials and books provided in KIIT are written by international authors. This was one of the main reasons I chose KIIT because it also helps to be at par with international students when doing masters abroad. BTech curriculum is updated every year to meet the trends in IT sector. For example for the year 2024, data science was added to the curriculum. However, KIIT refuses to teach from books written by Indian authors which is detrimental to an extent because various Indian authors have written excellent engineering books. Exams in KIIT are held every 2 months. In each semester, mid-sems and end-sems are held 2 months apart.
Placement Experience :
KIIT has an average placement of 7 lakhs pa with 63 lakhs pa as the highest placement. Students become eligible to sit for placements from 7th semester when they have to complete their first project. Internships also start from 3rd year or 4th year (mostly 4th). Students who do not bag a placement on campus can obviously apply off campus where referrals work wonders. A lot of renounded companies visit like Amazon, Microsoft, TCS, High Radius. Google has banned KIIT from their placement visit list. TCS makes the maximum number of offers, mostly of 10 lakhs pa. Almost 60-70% students get places, rest choose to do higher studies.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
Fees details (per semester for BTech ECSE): Admission fees: Rs. 70,000 Tuition : Rs. 1,75,000 Registration fees: Rs. 1000 Hostel fees : Rs.28,000 - Rs.70,000 (depends on hostel type chosen) Mess fees: Rs. 22,500 Scholarships: KIIT provides 2 types of scholarships based on need and merit. Need Based : Every year 2 poor and meritorious students get a full ride scholarship to KIIT where their tuition and hostel fees are covered. Merit Based : Every semester the 1st position holder gets a scholarship of Rs. 10,000 if they maintain attendance above 75%.
Campus Life :
Campus life in KIIT is active to some extent. It really depends on what kind of company you have. There are a lot of spots on campus and you can hang out with your friends in places like Polytech campus and MBA garden. If you're bored on campus, there are a lot of clubs in KIIT that will keep you engaged almost all the time. A lot of tech clubs are present in KIIT that techies can join and if you think no club fits your niche, you are always welcome to start your own club. A lot of clubs are sponcered by companies like Microsoft (MLSA) and DRDO. Annually KIIT Fest is held which is the most happening time of the year in KIIT. All clubs become active and huge artists are invited for the event. For athletic kids, all sports clubs are available and you can also enroll yourself in a club even if you just want to start learning.
Faculty :
Most of the faculty member in KIIT are IIT and IIM graduates. KIIT makes sure to employ well qualified faculty. Most of the faculty members are sweet and well spoken and create a positive and approachable environment. You can visit any faculty during their free time in their respective staff rooms and clear your doubts and queries. Most faculty know how to teach well.

Great Learning Experience with Good Campus Life
Course Curriculum Overview :
The course curriculum is comprehensive and provides a strong foundation in both theoretical concepts and practical knowledge. It covers the core subjects required for academic and professional growth while preparing students for higher education and industry opportunities. Regular assignments, practical sessions, and semester examinations help evaluate students effectively. The examination pattern is well-structured, and the difficulty level is moderate for students who attend classes consistently. However, the curriculum could be further improved by incorporating more industry-oriented topics, practical projects, internships, and emerging technologies. Overall, the course is relevant, well-designed, and offers a good balance between academic learning and skill development
