I have a friend who is an alumnus of KIIT. He was able to provide the specification of the laptop offered to students in the 2016 batch.
However, there is no ethernet port. In contrast, the university does not also provide any LAN connection, so you eventually do not need the ethernet port anyway.
The laptops provided to the students do not usually come with a ThinkPad pro stylus when they generally should. In the case of gaming, they work seamlessly. Thus, it should not be an issue to be concerned about.
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.
Placements at KIIT have always been great and like every year, this year too it witnessed placement offers by some of the best companies.
Around 400 prestigious companies offered 5000+ job offers for a batch size of 3500 eligible B.Tech students of 2022 batch KIIT. It seems the institute is again set to achieve 100% placements. Here are a few highlights from KIIT Placements 2022
The ‘Day Zero’ dream campus drives at KIIT witnessed the placement of top 1500 students by MNCs wherein the average CTC stood at 8.10 LPA. Around 42 Companies offered CTC of Rs. 10.00 lakh or more and Yugabyte offered the highest CTC of Rs.52.00 LPA.
While ‘Day-One’ campus recruitment drive witnessed 2000 job offers from four companies namely, Accenture, Cognizant, Capgemini, and Wipro. Additionally, many companies visited the KIIT campus more than one time like Accenture, Ericsson, Escorts, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, Capgemini, etc.
Campus placements are good for CS and IT students at KIIT. The university offers good facilities and faculty. It provides ample exposure to the students so that they can develop and enhance their personalities. The university authorities are very strict about academics. They give a lot of importance to lecture attendance and grades of the students.
This makes KIIT a good choice for sincere students. Plus, KIIT is better ranked than most other colleges in its close vicinity. Some of the top recruiters of KIIT University are Accenture, Adani Wilmar, Amazon, HCL Technologies, Capgemini, KPMG, etc.
The total fee for BTech and BTech lateral entry is INR 14.91 lakh and INR 11.37 lakh, respectively. Here are the semester-wise fees of various courses offered in BTech.
