What happens in KIIT counselling?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : July 26th, 2023

This is a pressing question for most freshers. Most of the new students remain curious about the KIIT counseling.

First of all, you will have to report to the venue on the stated date and time. You will be seated at a particular place with the other candidates and over there, verification of all the candidates will be done. Candidates will be called in groups to the Convention Centre, Campus-6 auditorium, based on ranks.

Once there, you will be given a form in which you will fill in the necessary details including the branch that you wish to opt for (Choice 1, 2, and so on). There will be a speech after which you and the other candidates will be called in the front, on the basis of ranks or according to some serial number. In the front, there are counters. 

In these counters, you need to submit the required documents like statement of marks, TC, Migration, Photographs, DD, etc.  After this step, you will be given a receipt of the amount that you have deposited, a provisional admission letter, and some other documents.

With this, your admission process into KIIT will be completed. KIIT also provides buses for a campus tour.

What is the course: electronics and computer science engineering at KIIT?

AD
Ananya Dasgupta Posted On : July 25th, 2023
Studied at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT)

As a reflection of the sheep mentality, the majority of engineering aspirants can be seen running after CS or IT. However, I will suggest you also give preference to your interests first.

Electronics and Computer Science Engineering is a recently launched branch at KIIT and is actually great. Not many batches have passed out yet, but the branch seems promising like any other branch at KIIT.

  • In the first year, the same foundation courses are taught that are common in all the branches. These include Physics, Chemistry, Basic Electronics, Engineering Mechanics, etc. 
  • From the second year, you will be intrigued by the ECE concepts. Out of the overall curriculum, approximately 55% weightage is given to electronics subjects and 45% weightage is given to CS subjects. 
  • From what I have heard, the subjects taught to ECE are easier than the subjects taught to CS and Electronics students individually. 

In all, Electronics and Computer Science Engineering is a decent choice especially if you are interested in the field. However, if you are still aiming for CS, then you can opt for a branch change after one year. The cut-off for branch change is 8.5 CGPA but to get into CS you will need around 9.2+ and 8.9 or more for IT.

Should I take CSE in KIIT or IEM, Kolkata?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : July 25th, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

I have a friend who scored a rank of 1536 in KIITEE and chose CSE in KIIT while another who got a rank of 4158 in WBJEE and went got IEM ECE.

What I mean is that the institute does not matter but it’s your capability and skills that determine your success rate. I find judging colleges based on placements very silly. 

So, if your ultimate goal is BTech only then take any one between IEM and KIIT depending on your financial background but if you are planning to pursue higher education, IEM will help you save money that can later be used for higher studies.

Which is better, KIIT Bhubaneswar or Manipal University Jaipur?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : July 26th, 2023

My brother is currently studying at KIIT Bhubaneswar and my cousin is a pass out of Manipal University, Jaipur. From the experiences shared by both, I have come to one concrete conclusion, KIIT offers a much more vibrant and dynamic campus life. It urges you to develop as a whole and not only in terms of academics. You will feel like a completely whole person when you leave KIIT.  

At KIIT, the entire year is filled up with lots of exciting activities and competitions that are both academic and non-academic. KIIT faculties are very approachable and their qualifications are at par with government institutes. Their interactive nature is very charming. If you want to make the most out of this institute then you should have good communication skills and a positive attitude towards studies. 

Addressing the elephant in the room, here is a competitive analysis of the placement statistics of both the institutes'

How is the first day at KIIT? Give me a campus tour of KIIT. What facilities are there, like hostels, sports areas, a library, Audi, etc., with the help of pictures?

SD
Salini Dasgupta Posted On : July 25th, 2023

KIIT is a massive yet beautiful campus that is divided according to branches of various programs. These are named after famous rivers of India. I will share the first-day experience of my brother who was very excited to get admission here.

As he reached the campus, he was asked to report to the Central Auditorium in Campus 6 and was also given a form to fill up. In the auditorium, a screen displays the roll numbers. Students are expected to go to the table allocated where they are given their ID card and in a small slip an alphanumeric code is written, which is their room number. 

Students are assigned hostels based on the details they filled in earlier. My brother was assigned to Kings’ Palace VII and a bus dropped him off at his hostel. He found a long queue as everyone waited for allotment of their rooms. Students are given time to settle in and bid farewell to their parents which is a very emotional moment. 

The next day, the seniors will take you on a campus tour where you're shown all the campuses, the Auditoriums, the KIIT Stadium, the food courts, the Gym, the swimming pool, etc. After this, the hostel orientation takes place and classes begin in the D block.

By now, you will be assured of the great time you will be spending here!

You should choose KIIT Bhubaneswar for studying Law. It is older and more reputed. On an overall scale, it is better than UPES, Dehradun. Placement will depend on your interest. For Judiciary careers, KIIT Bhubaneswar offers more exposure and opportunities. Few law firms also take part in campus placements. The highest CTC offered in KIIT Bhubaneswar placements is around INR 7 LPA.  UPES offers better opportunities in corporate law.

Is the KIIT entrance exam for the BBA at KIIT School of Management easy?

SG
Shreyashi Ghosh Posted On : July 26th, 2021
Studied at KITT School of Management (2019)

KIIT School of Management is a very famous and reputed business management school in our country. Many students across the country apply for admission and for that all of them are required to appear for the entrance exam conducted by the college and pass it successfully.

The entrance is relatively easier when compared to the entrance exams of other business schools. The reason behind it is the amount of time you get when you appear for the exams.

You will get 3 hours and within that time period, you will have to solve 120 questions which is not a difficult task. All the sections in the question paper are moderate.

But you should really work on some chapters like Profit and Loss, Time and Work, Time and Speed, Simple and Compound Interest, etc., and also improve the vocabulary. You will be easily able to clear the exam if your aptitude is good as it is an important part to clear the exam.
