Regarding admissions in KIIT, instead of contacting the admission team by phone or mail just pay a visit to the Admission department located in the Koel Campus and they will provide you with every necessary detail on how to get admission through different processes. While asking about the admission procedure, mention your choice of branch and other preferences.

You can get direct admission through direct admission to your desired branch but will cost you a huge amount of money if applying through direct admission. You can also get admission through the entrance exam conducted for it in which the cut-off goes really high. Direct admission will cost you a lot of money so if there’s no financial problem and you don’t want to waste another year then you should definitely go for it.

Do not contact any agency or third party for admission because KIIT does not take admission that way.

One of my friends graduated from KIIT and here are some things regarding your question, I got to know from her. 

• KIIT administration does not release information about the laptops before distribution. 
• They will send a notification when the distribution is going to take place.

I can share the laptop specifications for the year 2019. 

• KIIT has provided HP ProBook x360 with customized specs. 
• You won't get the model on the HP website either in Indian or abroad.
• The laptop has an FHD color IPS touch display 15 inches (10 touchpoints).
• i5 8th gen (8250u) (1.6Ghz-3.4Ghz) (auto overclock)
• Intel UHD 620 + NVIDIA MX 130 (2GB) + 8 GB shared memory for GPU boost
• RAM – 16 GB
• 512 GB SSD

• 1 X Type C

KIIT will provide you free service on any problem with the laptop other than damage dealt by you for which you have to pay for the service.

I have a friend from KIIT Bhubaneswar and here is what he told me about the food menu at the institute.

The food quality is decent in King’s Palace XI (one of the boy’s hostels in KIIT). It is compulsory to opt for it if you are staying in the hostel.

IEM and KIIT both are good options for CSE. Given below are a few of the aspects of the institute which can help you in making the right choice. 

Comparison: 

• IEM has established quite a reputation for CSE and rightly so. 
• The faculties for CSE are quite great.
• The CSE department also has an extensive alumni base. 
• However, there is not much to the campus life at IEM. If you want to bunk the class, the only place you can go in the library. On the other hand, KIIT offers a better campus life. 
• The placement record for IEM and KIIT is quite similar. Mass recruiters like TCS, Wipro, Infosys visit both campuses. If after the completion of 4 years, you get placed in TCS, investing a lump sum at KIIT is not worth it. 

If you go for IEM, you can stay in Kolkata and prepare for various examinations like GATE, CAT, etc. Also, IEM is more affordable. So, choose accordingly.

With your decent score, you might be able to make it to a tier 3 government college. Well, whether you would get into the CSE branch or not would be based on your performance in the GD & PI round.

• KIIT is a tremendous college with its exceptional faculty and academics among others in this league. 
• Although, the tuition fee at KIIT is quite high. 
• Since you have already got into CSE at KIIT, and the fee structure is not beyond your expectations, then it would be a great opportunity to continue at KIIT. 
• Acquiring a seat in CSE in any other college would be difficult and more of a hassle, therefore KIIT seems to be a great option for now.
• The KIIT University is among the Best Private Universities in India with CSE as the best and an exceptional branch. 
• The students are provided with great placement opportunities and the placement records have shown 100 percent placements in recent years.

The 100 percent placement is guaranteed when the students in the branch are equally hardworking and skillful in their subjects of interest. 

A few years back my friend made it to KIIT with a 6000 rank. But, now KIIT has increased its student intake and anyone can get a good branch with this rank.

You may not get the seat in the 1st counseling as the closing rank was 5356 this year. But you will surely get through with the 3rd or 4th counseling. You can get a branch to upgrade according to the seats available.

The catch is that the number of seats has increased, reciprocatively the demand for CSE has also increased. Your chance of getting a CSE is good. 

Getting CSE in KIIT with a rank of 39251 will be difficult. In 2021, the required cutoff for CSE at KIIT was 5044. KIIT only takes into account your score in KIITEEE and your board percentage for admission.

However, if you get admission to a different branch, there is still an option for changing the branch to another department. If you have the required GPA in the first semester, then you can put it in the application for changing the branch to whatever they wish for. You can talk to the seniors and know the procedure.

I have a few friends from KIIT and according to them, the gym in KIIT is equipped with the latest machines and instruments. Students can visit the gym from the 1st year itself however they are not allowed to use the gym facilities till the 2nd semester begins.

As 1st-semester students, you won’t be able to use the gym facilities. The restrictions are lifted for the 2nd-semester, and students are allowed to hit the gym and engage in any activity they wish for. The 1st-semester students are not allowed for security reasons.
