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.

I am getting 93.86 percentile (Rank 66441) in the JEE Mains 2021 and already got CSE at KIIT Bhubaneswar. Can I get a better college than KIit in JoSAA?
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.
- KIIT is a tremendous college with its exceptional faculty and academics among others in this league.
- Although, the tuition fee at KIIT is quite high.
- Since you have already got into CSE at KIIT, and the fee structure is not beyond your expectations, then it would be a great opportunity to continue at KIIT.
- Acquiring a seat in CSE in any other college would be difficult and more of a hassle, therefore KIIT seems to be a great option for now.
- The KIIT University is among the Best Private Universities in India with CSE as the best and an exceptional branch.
- The students are provided with great placement opportunities and the placement records have shown 100 percent placements in recent years.

Can I get into CSE in KIIT with a rank of 5342?
A few years back my friend made it to KIIT with a 6000 rank. But, now KIIT has increased its student intake and anyone can get a good branch with this rank.
You may not get the seat in the 1st counseling as the closing rank was 5356 this year. But you will surely get through with the 3rd or 4th counseling. You can get a branch to upgrade according to the seats available.
The catch is that the number of seats has increased, reciprocatively the demand for CSE has also increased. Your chance of getting a CSE is good.
Can I get CSE in KIIT with a rank of 39251?
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.
