What specifications can I expect out of the laptop I am likely to get at the onset in KIIT?
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.
- Laptop Model: Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460
- Type or Mode of Laptop: Convertible Laptop and Touch Screen
- Display Size and Type: 14 inches (Full HD, Anti Glare)
- Pixel Density: 210 PPI
- Resolution: 1920 x 1080 px
- Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 940M (2 GB dedicated, 6 GB dynamic)
- Processor: Intel Core i5 processor (6th Generation; it offers a maximum of2.71 GHz clock speed)
- RAM: 8GB (RAM Speed: 1600 MHz)
- HDD: 1TB
- Backlit Keyboard
- Fingerprint Scanner
- Webcam (720p)
- Carbon Magnesium Alloy Body (The feature is in itself a very dynamic one. It comes with a serious fingerprint magnet)
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.
Do companies like Google,Apple, Microsoft and Facebook hire students from institutes like BITS, VIT or KIIT?

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.
