Sarthak Sinha's Review On Kalinga Institute Of Industrial Technology - [KIIT], Bhubaneswar

1. Amazing Infrastructure - including Auditoriums, AC Classrooms, Projectors in every class, Hostel Facilities 2. Placement Record - with an average package of 6-8 LPA, and more than 60% placements each year. The package may go up to 40 lakhs. 3. Course Structure - that included new and modern courses like Aeronautical, CAD, IoT, Artificial Intelligence, etc., and all the courses are approved by AICTE. 4. Outreach Programmes - that gave many opportunities to connect with major personalities. Almost every week, 2-3 guests visit the University. Like CEO of Boeing, Ambassadors, etc. 5. Societies/Organizations - especially, NSS that has a huge impact on a person's character as well as society. 6. Internship Opportunities - which give the chance to connect with MNCs and industries. 7. Patents - No. of patents are good. More than 40. Research & Development is taken up very seriously here.

The course syllabus was relevant. Every concept was taught in both a practical and theoretical ways. Enough Industrial experience was provided with MoUs signed with major companies. R&D facilities encouraged us to try the concepts in practice. And Labs were opened for us even after the end of the day. Sometimes, 24 hours. Faculties are encouraging and have command over their subjects. S.K. Nayak, Rishitosh Ranjan, Smarnika Nayak, B.C. Router and other such faculties are knowledgeable and helpful.

Placements keep happening all year-round. Companies like Honda, Google, Hyundai, Byju, Musigma, Deloitte, HCL, Wipro, Accenture, Infosys, L&T, Tata, etc. visit every year. The placement process is simple. Test, followed by GD and PI. Some other rounds may happen, but that depends on the company policies only. Sometimes, our seniors come to recruit us. That explains that the reach of the college is very wide. Overall, the placement procedure is simple, and the college staff is ever ready to guide the students.

There is not a single day in KIIT when there is nothing going on. KSAC is very active and organizes events regularly. Students are given enough freedom to held any fest, and the nearby police station is always ready to assist students whenever required. KIITFEST is one of the largest college fests in India and is an attraction to several students in and outside India. KIITMUN is the largest in Asia and attracts students from foreign too. Celebrities like Sunidhi Chauhan, Zakir Khan, etc. perform in such fests.

25000-acre campus. Free Wifi. Every student is provided a laptop which is of the latest quality and of reputed brands like DELL, LENOVO, etc. Hostels are both AC & non-AC. Classrooms are fully AC. Projectors are installed in almost every class. For leisure, there are many facilities. Gyms, basketball courts, tennis courts, cafeterias, CCD, nearby restaurants, Rose garden, MBA Campus, Rock Garden, KIMS, KSAC, Cricket Stadium. In short, KIIT has almost every infrastructural facility possible.
