Anonymous's Review On Kalinga Institute Of Dental Sciences - [KIDS], Bhubaneswar

The brand name to KIIT is massive.It is well known among all people throughout the nation.It is also an Institute Of Eminence(IOE).The college provides a 100% placement in the B.Tech course will an average salary of 3.4-4 lakh per annum. Moreover,the highest package of the 2019 batch was 39 lakhs per annum given by Adobe.In 2020,due to the effect of coronavirus pandemic the highest package of this college has dropped to 30 lakhs per annum(given by Amazon),still that's a massive package. Moreover,my rank was under 1000,which also made be to get a scholarship of Rs. 10,000 per month for the entire 4 years, all these were the driving forces behind me joining this college.

The course curriculum of KIIT is updated each and every year keeping in mind the present demand in the market and the company. This also helps us to prepare for future competitive exams like GATE. Almost each and every subject taught by my college is associated with lab with essential gradings in credit points, thus,I can say that we were provided proper industrial exposure for sure. Most of the faculties of this college are Phd. holders from the IITs and other major colleges of India, there are also a few faculties who were students of foreign universities, this also provides the necessary exposure to foreign methodology and techniques of training.Some great teachers such as Dr. Arup Acharya(DSA), Dr. Amulya Ratna Swain(DSA), Prof. Tanmaya Swain(OOP), Dr. Manoranjan Sahoo(Economics), Dr. Birupakhya Prasad Padhy(Mathematics) are just gems.

No,I haven't opted for one yet.
