Who are the best professors at KIIT University?
One of my friends had passed out of KIIT University back in 2017, so my answer would be based on whatever input I have received from him.
From the Department of Computer Engineering particularly, here is a list of one of the finest teachers present there at KIIT University:
- Arup Acharya
- Abhik Gorai (Analog & Digital Signals)
- Chittaranjan Pradhan (Database Management System)
- Nachiketa Tarasia (Data Structure)
- Manas Lenka (Computer Networks)
Apart from academics, my friend also gave me an additional list of teachers who will boost your morale and give you great motivation, here are some names:
- Achyuta Samanta (Founder of KIIT)
- Lalit Vashishtha
- Sandeep Chatterjee
- Prachet Bhuyan
In order to judge who exactly is the best, you should observe and decide it for yourself. Apart from that, these were some of the finest at KIIT.
How are the hostel rooms in KIIT?
Some of my friends at KIIT opted for hostels. According to them, out of all the hostels in Bhubaneswar, the ones of KIIT are the best.
- Each room is furnished with three bed tables, three study tables and three cupboards for storage purposes.
- The rooms also have fans. They also have AC but you will have to pay a little more to get that facility.
- There are also attached bathrooms for the students.
The hostel for the boys has been renovated but the problem with space still persists. Not to mention that the hostels had small rooms. A new hostel has been built but the problem of small rooms has not been solved yet.
What branch can I get in kiit with 18000 rank?
Some of my friends attend the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) and according to them, with a rank of 18000 in KIIT, you can get any core or other branches except CSE, IT, and ETC.
KIITEE cut-offs for different branches as per 2021 are below.
| Branch | General |
| B.Tech CSE | 5,044 |
| B.Tech Mechanical Engineering | 11,748 |
| B.Tech ETE | 14,233 |
| B.Tech IT | 16,614 |
| B.Tech Automobile Engineering | 17,648 |
| B. Tech EEE | 20,970 |
| B.Tech EE | 24,207 |
| B.Tech Civil Engineering | 29,686 |
| B.Tech Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering | 30,415 |
The cut-offs vary every year as per the competition but this should give you an idea about the cutoff required.
If unluckily I would get less than 60% in 12 boards but I have already got EEE branch in KIIT during KIIT Counselling, then will I get admission there?
In case you have secured less than 60% in the higher secondary examination, then it is best to sit for the Improvement examination.
If you even secure admission at KIIT or any other relevant institute for a course, it will ultimately go in vain if you become ineligible to sit for any company exam. Around 90% of the on-campus companies arrive with a specific cut-off where the minimum criteria set is 60% in 10+2.
So, taking an improvement examination is the better option.
Which B.Tech Branch is the best at KIIT Bhubhaneswar in terms of faculty and placements?
KIIT Bhubaneswar has excellent placements and faculties. It’s especially known for the CSE branch and its placements. All the engineering branches see good placements but CSE has a whole other level of placements at KIIT.
- In terms of placements, CS is the most preferred. Many reputed companies visit the campus placements for recruiting CS students. Students of the CS branch have been performing well in replacements and academics, so definitely some of that credit goes to the faculty.
- Pursuing ETC can be quite interesting too, but your grads may suffer in the 2nd year as the curriculum includes few tough core subjects like AEC, SD, etc. But if you study well, it can be managed. The faculties are good too. You have to make the most of it.
- Branches like IT, Mech automobile are also good options. But based on the reviews that I got from my friends at the institute I will suggest CS if you are good at coding. You will have a good ROI, provided you study hard and master the skill needed.
Here’s a brief overview of the institute.

If you work hard with proper time management, no matter which branch you are opting for you will have good placements.
