KIIT: A college which provides placements

The course curriculum is relevant from the second year. In first year few subjects are relevant which will be useful in the future. Semiconductor industry is developing in India and provies a huge scope for electronics engineers. These indrusties will offer many jobs for EC engineers.

The college provies internships to it's students from the second year onwards. There is a complete cell run by the college which takes care of the oppurtinities provided to the student. The college also provides training for the internships.

The placements at our college is decent. Placements depends from branch to branch. For example electrical and mechanical branches had 100% placements this year. In electronics branch the average placement was about 5LPA. For CSE and allied branches, the placements were not that good.The number of students offered high package were low. Overall, highest bagged package was 63LPA and the average package was 5LPA.

The fees for engineering depends on the branch you have chosen.As I have chosen electronics branch it is somewhat less then that of CSE branch, Yearly tuition fees:- Rs 320000 Yearly hostel fees:- Rs 56000 (for non AC rooms) Yearly mess food:- Rs 50000 so my total fees for a year is Rs 426000 For CSE brach the tuition fees is Rs 380000 The fees for the complete course including accomodation, tuition for four years is around Rs 17 lakhs. The fees increases each year. If you get a under 1000 rank in KIITEEE you get a Rs30000 per semester scholarship. For management quota students the fees is higher than that of other students.

KIIT Fest is conducted every year in the month of February.Books and equipments are provied for every year by the college. There is 7 storeyed central library which has all the books and journals. Each class is centrally air conditioned and has a smart board. There are numerous parks, lakes and cafeterias in the campus. For sports there is cricket stadium, athletics cum football stadium, hockey stadium and a rugby stadium.

There are different types of hostel rooms. Premium rooms are the rooms which have an inbuilt washroom. While normal rooms have a common washroom. For non AC non premium room the fees is Rs 56000 per semester. If you want you can even choose an AC room.The mess food is good, and the mess menu is just like that in home. There are a number of PGs and flats for students to rent in Patia, Bhubaneshwar.

This college is near my home. KIIT also provides a laptop.The cost of the laptop is included in the seat booking fees. Even if the tuition fees is high, accomodation fees is relatively less than other colleges.In mess fees, rates of non-veg and veg menu is same. This rule is unlike many colleges which charge higher for non-veg food. I also applied for VIT and SRM. You can take admission in KIIT through KIITEEE, JEE main and management quota.For CSE branch the cutoffs are high.For ECE branch an under 15000rank will work.Students who get an under1000 rank in KIITEEE get a scholarship.KIITEEE is conducted in two phases.A score of 85+ percentile in JEE main will work.

The faculty members in KIIT are heavily qualified.Most of the professors are from an IIT or a NIT. The faculty-to-student ratio is around 1:70. Keeping a good or a decent relationship with the faculties is reccomended. The academic curricullum for Btech includes 8 semesters, Each semester has a mid-sem examination for half course before semester examinations. Each semester is of 3 months. The semester exam is of 50 marks. The other 50 marks are of internals. These internal marks are the sum of mid-sem marks, quizes and assignments. The level of of the exams is between moderate and difficult.Students do fail, but they need to give an improvement examination to clear it. Basically you have to work hard and put effort here to achieve a good placement.

For first years, hostel in time is 7pm. The in time increases with every year. If you have taken gym or sports you can stay out for more time.Students can unwind at the parks and cafeterias in the campus. Famous hangout places outside the campus include Shikharchandi hill, Nandankanan Sanctuary etc.
