Is KIIT a better option than VIT, MANIPAL, SRM, or less renowned NITs like NIT Surat, Jaipur, Raipur, etc.?
No, KIIT is not a better option than VIT, Manipal, SRM, or even average NITs. this comes from the experience of several relatives of mine who are alumni of KIIT. Other mentioned institutes are better than KIIT in terms of education, exposure, and crowd quality. But if you are still adamant about KIIT, consider joining it only under the following circumstances
- If you are a local staying in Bhubaneswar you can save a lot of money by not availing hostel facilities thus the ROI will be more than SRM and VIT.
- If you are in need of regular counseling or have to come back to your house for some purpose and you hail from Bihar, Jharkhand, or Orissa, then KIIT might be a better option. This is because some engineering students fail to receive proper guidance and affection from their families because of studying in a far-off college.
I will end with a note that your college doesn't really matter. What matters is the right mindset, aspirations, books, and knowledge. If you have all these, you will certainly succeed!

Which college is better: VIT or KIIT?
I feel I am the right person to answer this as my brother and a friend are in VIT and KIIT respectively. From what I heard from them, I derived the following conclusions
- KIIT Campus is huge and you can find posters of Mr Achyuta Samanta at every corner of the campus. It looked more like an advertisement.
- The campus has a good location and enjoys the advantages of Bhubaneswar city.
- However, you will find very less diversity here as most of the engineering students are from East Indians.
- The hostel rooms are spacious and well-ventilated. The overall campus is clean and beautiful with decent facilities
My friend at VIT also experienced a similar situation as both are private colleges striving to attract students.

Which is better: KIIT or SRM?
It is a very subjective question and the choice is ultimately yours to make. I would, though, give you some insight on KIIT.
The faculty at KIIT is very helpful. The teachers guide us whenever we need help. There is a strict no-ragging policy on campus and the seniors are amazing. We engage in a lot of extra-curricular activities besides study. KIIT Fest is really good and everyone looks forward to it.
Both KIIT and SRM have great faculty and placement records. Both institutions offer good opportunities. You should choose according to your personal preferences. For making an informed decision, I would recommend you talk to the students from both institutions and also do some basic research at your end.

Is it worth paying 13 lacs or more for a B.Tech CSE in KIIT University?
Whether a particular degree is worth the money you spend depends on a number of factors like your financial background and your future prospects. One of my relatives completed his BTech in CSE in 2012 and got a job that helped him pay back the loan within 2 years. However, this may not be the case for everyone. That being said, consider the following scenarios
- If you have zero financial constraints and want to live a dreamy college life, then KIIT is certainly the best place for you.
- If your parents have been saving money for you, save that for your Master's and do your Bachelors in IITs or NITs instead.
- If you have financial issues and loam is the only option, then leave that option for Master
Nevertheless, if you are adamant about joining anyways, go for CS or IT which will provide better placement opportunities than other branches.
Is KIIT a good college in terms of education and faculty?
Yes, KIIT is a great college in terms of both education and faculty. One of my friends completed his BTech in Civil Engineering from KIIT and was glad of his decision. The faculty base comprises a mix of highly learned professors and fresh post-graduates generally from IITs or other reputed colleges. But the major issue here is the quality of students getting admission here. KIIT usually averages students who could not make it into other engineering colleges.
No matter how good the teachers are, the level of education can never be great if the students are average and have no interest in studying. Because of the luxurious life the institute offers, students have started taking faculty and education in general for granted. They can be seen frequently skipping classes and exams. This carefree approach toward studies is causing major problems and is destroying the academic ambiance as well as the career of many.
Owing to such an attitude on the part of students, the professors too have little interest in teaching. They dont run behind students and have found comfort in their laid-back attitude. So, the faculty although good is of no use if the students are not willing to extract benefits from them.
