I have a friend who is an alumnus of KIIT. He was able to provide the specification of the laptop offered to students in the 2016 batch.  Laptop Model: Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 Type or Mode of Laptop: Convertible Laptop and Touch Screen Display Size and Type: 14 inches (Full HD, Anti Glare) Pixel Density: 210 PPI Resolution: 1920 x 1080 px Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 940M (2 GB dedicated, 6 GB dynamic) Processor: Intel Core i5 processor (6th Generation; it offers a maximum of2.71 GHz clock speed) RAM: 8GB (RAM Speed: 1600 MHz) HDD: 1TB Backlit Keyboard Fingerprint Scanner Webcam (720p) Carbon Magnesium Alloy Body (The feature is in itself a very dynamic one. It comes with a serious fingerprint magnet) However, there is no ethernet port. In contrast, the university does not also provide any LAN connection, so you eventually do not need the ethernet port anyway.  The laptops provided to the students do not usually come with a ThinkPad pro stylus when they generally should. In the case of gaming, they work seamlessly. Thus, it should not be an issue to be concerned about. 

Yes, companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook hire students from BITS, VIT, or KIIT. In fact, they hire from colleges all across the country. These companies are all for skills. If you have the required skill set, you can get interview calls from these companies. If you belong to some IIT, you will certainly have some advantage over the others. 

KIIT SOM has a strong alumni network of 5000+ with many on the CxO level in big corporations. A few of my friends studied there and here’s what I got to know from them: The institute carries “Day Zero” dream campus drives to place students.  Already 38 companies visited the campus. A few students have already received their offers from some of the reputed companies.  However, the institute announced that 150+ companies are to visit the campus on day zero. Some "day zero" recruiters that came to campus are Autodesk, Amazon, Reliance, Quikr, Novartis, Nutanix, Informatica, VMware, Endurance International, and ZS Associates.  The packages offered by these companies are above INR 7 LPA.  Out of these, Nutanix recruited a student at INR 18 LPA.  However, the drive will continue till September. So, many opportunities are in queue for the students.  The companies like PwC, Nissan, Philips, TATA Tech, High Radius, and others will offer promising packages of over INR 6 LPA.  CSE students usually get an opportunity to sit for an interview in every company. Overall, KIIT SOM students can climb to great heights if they are hardworking and persistent, as the institute provides many opportunities to grow and get placed.

KIIT Bhubaneswar selection procedure is through. Admissions are either based on entrance examination performance or merit. For B.Tech KIIT selects students based on their KIITEE scores.  Overall, KIIT is a good college and offers ample opportunities for personal development. It offers decent facilities. Many reputed companies visit KIIT placements. The average CTC offered during KIIT placements 2022 was INR 6.05 LPA. 

KIIT is a better option compared to LPU. It is a deemed university and offers better career opportunities to students. Here are the highlights of KIIT Placement 2022. Highest CTC  INR 52 LPA Average CTC INR 6.05 LPA Total no of recruiters 350+ Total no of offers  5000+ Top recruiters  Amazon, Infosys, Escorts, Accenture Placements are especially good for CSE department. However, KIIT charges high fees.
