Your preference order should be SRM>Manipal>KIIT. However, you should choose one of these institutes according to your preference and requirements. SRM and Manipal are quite expensive. But these institute offers an enviable campus experience.
On an overall scale, SRM main campus will be the best choice. SRM University placements 2021 had the highest CTC of INR 35 LPA.
KIIT is one of the top ten private engineering schools in the country. Sharda, LPU, and Amity, on the other hand, are in a different league entirely, competing for being the worst.
KIIT is an above-average college in the TIER-3 category, but it is far superior in every respect to these self-proclaimed "Best Institutes" that have extremely degraded in a lot of aspects.
Getting CSE in KIIT with a rank of 39251 will be difficult. In 2021, the required cutoff for CSE at KIIT was 5044. KIIT only takes into account your score in KIITEEE and your board percentage for admission.
However, if you get admission to a different branch, there is still an option for changing the branch to another department. If you have the required GPA in the first semester, then you can put it in the application for changing the branch to whatever they wish for. You can talk to the seniors and know the procedure.
Yes, companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook hire students from BITS, VIT, or KIIT. In fact, they hire from colleges all across the country. These companies are all for skills. If you have the required skill set, you can get interview calls from these companies. If you belong to some IIT, you will certainly have some advantage over the others.
KIIT is a better option in terms of fees, academics, placements, and hostel accommodation. The placement opportunities available are especially good for CSE, IT, and ETC branches. Many IT firms frequently visit KIIT placements and hire a huge number of students. During 2022 placement drive, students received an average CTC of around INR 6.05 LPA. Some of the major recruiters for the institute are Escorts, Capgemini, Accenture, Infosys, etc.
The orientation programme in KIIT is lengthy and the students are made to sit for 2 hours while the faculties and the honorable founder address them. But there are many students who are highly enthusiastic about this day too.
There are three kinds of orientation programs held at KIIT University. These are:
So these are the basic things I got to know from some of my friends studying at IIM Indore. The orientation could be interesting to some while it may feel hectic to others.
You’ll get an admission at KIIT. You don’t need to worry on that front. But the main issue is regarding placements. Most IT and core companies have an eligibility requirement of 60% or more in 10th and 12th boards. Though some companies don’t have a strict minimum requirement.
But the point is, if you want to sit for a good number of companies during placements, you’ll need at least 60% in your 12th boards. This does not apply only to KIIT, but every university/college.
With your decent score, you might be able to make it to a tier 3 government college. Well, whether you would get into the CSE branch or not would be based on your performance in the GD & PI round.
