Hello,

No, it has not been discontinued by the Institute. It is still possible to upgrade branch in KIIT after the 2nd semester that is end of 1st year but it is done on the basis of CGPA criteria. You have to score more than 8.5 CGPA for the branch upgradation option. For changing to branches like CSE you have to be a 9 pointer at least. So, it depends on your hard work and you can still get your desired branch.

Hope it helps.

Good luck.
