KIIT University conducts the KIIT Entrance Exam (KIITEE) annually for admissions into its various programs, primarily focusing on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics of the 11th and 12th-grade syllabi. The exam is online and considered easy, with results released in May, followed by counselling. The process is straightforward with no interviews, and a minimum of 60% in 10+2 is required for B.Tech courses. The admission process includes a free application, a 11,000 INR counseling fee, and a 65,000 INR refundable fee if admission is not taken.
Approximately 30,000 students are admitted each year, with branch preferences decided during counseling based on rank. The faculty is well-qualified, with many holding PhDs and some being IIT alumni. The student-to-faculty ratio is favorable, ensuring personalized attention. The curriculum emphasizes practical learning with strict academic standards. Tuition fees range from INR 1.5 to 1.75 lakh per semester, totaling around INR 16 lakh for the entire B.Tech course. Hostel and mess fees vary, with additional registration and exam fees per semester.
Scholarships are offered based on KIITEE ranks and academic performance, with opportunities for loan assistance. Placement records are strong, especially for CSE/IT with nearly 100% placement, while core branches witness 30-40%. Annually, over 400 companies, including Amazon and Microsoft, recruit from the campus, offering about 5000 job offers. The highest package recorded was 63 LPA, with an average of 6-8 LPA for CSE/IT students. Internship opportunities are supported from the 6th semester with active training and placement cell involvement.
Various scholarships, including tuition fee waivers and merit-based awards, help offset the costs, which range from INR 17 to 25 lakhs, including accommodation and meals. The university's investment in quality education, facilities, and placement opportunities is considered worthwhile despite the relatively high costs.
