Admission:
The entrance examination KIITEE is more of a formality. There is no minimum cutoff that you need to secure for admission.
Hostel:
There are hostel accommodations on-campus. The hostel is good but it is surrounded by buildings. You can feel a bit claustrophobic in the hostel rooms sometimes.
During the lockdown for Covid-19, students were at home and taking classes online. Despite this situation, the institute charged around INR 7.5 lakhs course fee. Also, due to the pandemic summer internships were canceled this year. Students now need to find internships on their own.
Do your research and make an informed decision. Do not take admission just so you can get a job.
