On average, the placement percentage of most engineering streams at KIIT is 95% and above. The unplaced 5% comprises the most academically weak students.
How is KIIT better than VIT, SRM and Manipal?
I would place these institutions in this rank-
- MIT (Main Campus- Manipal)
- VIT
- SRM
- KIIT
However, KIIT will overtake VIT and SRM because the academics and placements at this institution are getting better over the years.
As an alumnus of MIT, here are a few reasons why I have placed MIT in the top:
- Top Engineering streams like CSE, IT, Mech, ECE, and EEE at MIT are as good as the NITs.
- It has only merit-based seats and no management quota. On the other hand, in KIIT and other institutions, the majority of intake is from management quota.
- The All India MU-OET exam brings in a good crowd at MIT. The campus life, faculty, and alumni are also great.
- MIT has a decent placement record and a great campus life. During placements at MIT, I sat for 50 companies and by the end received 3 placement offers. Currently, I am working at TATA Motors.
- If the high fee is not an issue for you, MIT is the best option after IITs, BITS, and top NITs.
- People tolerate opposing views and the approach is more egalitarian at MIT.
- MIT student has the distinction of being an undergraduate with the highest number of research papers in the country to his credit (22 research papers in 4 years).
Though KIIT is a good institution with improving academics and placements, I would say that MIT ranks the highest among the four.
What is the average package for IT in KIIT?
KIIT has placements in slots, like Day 0, Day 1, Day 2, and so on. Various companies offer placements to B.Tech students in both IT and Non-IT roles.
The top students get placement offers during Day 0. Companies like Deloitte, TEK Systems, iNautix, MuSigma, etc. visit the KIIT campus with high packages. MuSigma offers packages of around 18 lakhs for 3 years bond period. iNautix offers around 4 LPA. TEK and Deloitte offer around INR 5.5 LPA.
During Day 1, Accenture, Cognizant, Infosys, and Wipro visit KIIT. Wipro does not hire Civil students. Accenture offers INR 3.5 LPA out of which 3.14 LPA is constant and the remaining is variable. Cognizant offers INR 3.33 LPA. Infosys and Wipro offer a maximum amount of INR 3 LPA.
During Day 2, TechM and Capgemini offer between 2.75 to 3 LPA. However, Think & Learn and other marketing companies pay a good amount to freshers. Microsoft, LnT, Amazon, Snapdeal, and other e-commerce companies visit the campus towards the end. During 2023, The IT Mass Recruitment Campus Drives generated 1300 job offers from companies like Accenture, Cognizant, Capgemini, Mindtree, Bosch, Ericsson, IBM, among others.
Thus, these are the placement trends at KIIT for both IT and non-IT roles.
What are the things I need to pack for college first year at KIIT University?
As a first-year student at KIIT, pack all the basic things of your personal requirement. You will get more or less everything else from the college and the hostel itself.
The college dress code is a salwar suit for girls and formal shirt pants for boys.
In the girls’ hostel, after the first semester, the wardens may show some leniency and allow you to wear leggings and kurta instead of a suit and dupatta. This leniency is completely a warden’s choice. Pack these clothes accordingly.
During the first week at KIIT, you will have a school and university orientation. In it, you will be given all the important information in the central auditorium. After 2-3 days, you will get your laptop, books, bags, etc.
Both girls and boys hostels provide all the basic necessities to students. These include basic beddings, a mattress, a pair of bedsheets, buckets, etc.
You can carry extra bedsheets if you wish. Also, pack towels, personal things, and basic items like water bottles, toothpaste, body wash, pen stands, some containers, and hangers. You need not bring an induction if you are a girl student. This is because every girls' hostel has an induction on each floor.
You can pack straighteners, curlers, irons and other electronic appliances but at your own responsibility because the hostel does not allow it. However, it is obvious that none can do without an iron.
From books to notebooks, the college will provide you with everything. Bring a white and blue apron for the Chemistry and BMS labs. Also, bring a lock and key for your room and cupboard.
Do not worry much. You will love your stay here and make wonderful memories. I would say, make the most of your time at KIIT.
Which is better in terms of placements: Manipal University (Jaipur), SRM (Ghaziabad), KIIT University, Amity University (Noida) or the IPU colleges?
Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology(KIIT) is one of the best colleges in the northeastern part of the country. It claims to have a record of more than 90% placement. A total of 4379 offers were made, out of which 3156 students were placed in reputed companies. The top recruiter of the college is Accenture.
SRM Ghaziabad is known for its record-breaking placement of offering 8409+ jobs to its students. The training and placement cell is the focal point of the institute, as it helped national and international recruiters. More than 625+ companies visited the college and more than 95% of the students got job offers.
Amity University has made an impressive record of placing 1706 students. More than 525 companies visited the college, out of which 25 dream offers were made. The highest recruiting company was Accenture and selected 394 students. The first phase of placement begins in the month of August and results are announced.
The placement for each branch varies from one another. A number of small and big companies visited the college. Companies like Flipkart, TCS, Dell, IBM visit the college. The college maintains 70-80% placement every year.
Faculties of Manipal University believe in hands-on practical learning. As a result, 803 students were placed in the recent placement activity. A total of 100 companies visited the college that includes Accenture, Dell, Amazon, Microsoft, American Express, and a lot more. Training and placement cell helps students to brush up their skills.

According to NIRF engineering ranking 2020, KIITS managed to secure 44th rank, Srm stands at 32nd position, Amity Noida secured 32nd position, all of them secure good rank nationally.
The placement depends on the type, ranking, students, and a lot more. All the colleges listed above have a good record of placement. Some have the highest number of students placed in CSE, the some in ECE. It purely depends on the choice of the student of what he/she chooses.
How is your experience at KIIT?
Initially, KIIT was a backup plan for me. I thought that because I couldn’t get into the IITs or BITS, I wouldn’t make a good engineer. KIIT completely changed my perception with its teaching methodology. I have grown immense confidence over here.
One of my teachers at KIIT guides me on the various opportunities that lie ahead for me. He also gives me valuable guidance on how I can become the best version of myself. We receive every tip and all the facilities that are needed to become a successful engineer. I feel that this is the place that I always needed.
KIIT has an Institute of Eminence(IoE) tag. One of my seniors got placed in his dream company, Robert Bosch.
Another published a paper in IEEE under her professor. An alumnus told me about the semester exchange program in Taiwan, the benefits of which he is reaping in his professional life.
There are various extracurricular activities at KIIT. There are societies, fests, seminars, workshops, etc. which help with our personality development.
KIIT is a very good choice to pursue your studies.
Is Amity University, Noida a better option than KIIT, Bhubaneswar for a B.Tech?
If you are considering Amity University, Noida for Engineering, it is recommended that you do not enroll there. According to students who completed their bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from there, it's a pathetic place to study. They claim that the quality of teaching is very poor, research is nil, and fees are too high. They highly recommend that you join KIIT, Bhubaneswar for a B.Tech, rather than Amity University, Noida.
Based on their experience, they believe that anyone who recommends Amity is either lying or trying to get a commission from you. Therefore, it's advised that you look into other options and do your research before making a decision on where to pursue your engineering degree.
Here is a video comparing these top engineering colleges
Which is better: Silicon Institute of Technology or KIIT? Why?
I will compare SIT and KIIT on certain parameters-
- Fees- KIIT charges around 2.5 times more than SIT.
- Curriculum- In terms of curriculum, KIIT has the upper hand. KIIT is a university while SIT is a part of BPUT. The curriculum and paper-checking patterns of BPUT are quite vague and not that good.
- Infrastructure- KIIT has a far better infrastructure than SIT. SIT lags behind in terms of infrastructure. SIT provides really slow wifi on campus.
- Academics, Research, and Faculty- The faculty at SIT is better than KIIT. KIIT offers decent research opportunities but its students do not take much interest in the same.
The teachers in SIT are partial. The study environment is lenient and students who do not even study also end up scoring an 8 CGPA. In KIIT, however, the academic situation is even worse.
- Location- Although both institutions are not very far from each other, KIIT has a better location because SIT campus has mobile network issues.
- Campus Placements- KIIT offers good placements, and packages can cross 6.5 LPA. However, more mass recruiters offering 3-4 LPA jobs visit the SIT campus. KIIT also has a good number of mass recruiters visiting the campus though.
- Fests and Events- KIIT holds fests and events for its students. On the other hand, SIT mostly has no events and even if something does take place, the students of SIT itself end up performing.
I would suggest you choose KIIT because if you work hard enough, you can end up in a company like SAP Labs with a good package. SIT offers only average placement opportunities for which the packages range from 3-4 LPA. You can choose SIT if you wish to go for higher studies.
Are there lot of restrictions for girls in KIIT Bhubneswar hostel?
The hostel rules imposed on girls at KIIT University are very illogical and unreasonable. The first and foremost rule is the check-in at 7 p.m. Girls are prohibited from even roaming around.
- One of my friends narrated an incident wherein she wanted to go out for a movie and she falsely filled in the details as her place of visit being Big Bazar. The warden denied permission saying it was too far.
- Another incident was when she wanted to go out with her friends in the afternoon to attend a function but the warden denied permission.
- Another issue she faced was when she received mail from her home, the address of which has changed, the authorities refused to accept the Mail and verified little details like the ticket number and its timings.
- Another illogical incident took place when she had to approach many people just to get her application signed for attending a class outside the campus.
- The hostel authorities even crib if the students come 15 minutes late from the coaching.
- Parents are not allowed inside the hostel after 6 pm.
- The girls cannot even laugh or speak loudly at night and everything they are visiting the mess they have to cover their bodies.
These were some incidents of illogical restrictions imposed on the girls that stem from a huge communication gap between the college and the hostel authorities. I hope KIIT stops gender discrimination and makes more logical and flexible rules.
Which is better in terms of placements KIIT SRM or UPES?
KIIT, SRM, and UPES are some of the best private colleges in India. Placement statistics change for every college according to year and branch. I am a B.Tech CSE student and therefore, my answer will talk especially about the CSE branch.
In KIIT, around 90% of the students get placed as the placement season starts. Companies mostly require a 6-6.5 CGPA and the cutoffs can go to maximum 7.5 CGPA for some companies. A 6-pointer may end up with a better job than a 9-pointer because of skills. The placement scenario is good.
KIIT is better among the three for placements because it has an E-cell or Entrepreneurship Cell which is not present in the other two colleges. Over there, an internship camp is organized in which the students can get an internship in their field of interest, in different companies.
SRM- In SRM, there is a system of mass recruitment and most students get placed. Mass recruitment companies recruit students in large numbers with an average package of around INR 4.5 LPA. If you study hard, practice coding, are strong in aptitude, database, etc., you can get a package of INR 5-6LPA.
UPES- CSE branch, the placement percentage is around 90%. However, the number of companies that visit UPES is limited. IBM is a big company and offers the maximum placements. Amazon, Wipro, Dell, Flipkart, and others also visit the campus for placements.
Thus, because of its Entrepreneurship Cell and Internship camp, I would suggest that KIIT has the best placements out of the three. However, placements at SRM and UPES are also quite good and the placement figures for all three are at par.
