B.Tech Mechanical Engineering Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology, Bhubaneswar

KIIT University, formerly Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology is one of the best Premier engineering institutes in the Eastern Zone of India, it is ranked as 45th best Engg. university in India biting various top-tier universities/colleges. I belong to the engineering part of the university. I will divide the review into points - 1. The campus is very large and it will take you almost a week if you have a dream to see the whole campus walking. Yes, I mean it. 2. All the Engg. branches have their own respective campuses where there classes and labs are held starting from 2nd year. In the 1st year all the classes are held on one particular campus(campus-3). 3. If you have Placements in your mind, then be tensed free, KIIT bags a placement rate of more than 85% every year and the number is increasing. The preparation gets started right from the 6th semester itself with various pre-placement training workshops, events, Classes, mock tests, Mock PI and GD. 4. The Study atmosphere is the best, almost all the faculties come from the well know top-tier universities of India. There are classes every day and even doubt clearing classes are also held before every exams, be it Mid Sems or the End Sems. 5. The hostel life is also up to the mark, there are almost 10+ Hostels for Boys and 4 for Girls (I'm talking just about engineering students) Both Ac and NOn AC hostels are available.

I began my Engg. journey in the August'14. The first year is all about basic knowledge and the subjects are common for all and you're introduced to new subjects such as Engg. Drawing, C, Engg.

The college life is amazing here. The college has all the basic infrastructure. Most importantly the college supports extra curricular activities a lot. There are various students societies in both technical and cultural domain which give students a great exposure to other domains than engineering like management, creativity, design etc.

This college has many state-of-the labs, regarding the various disciplines that the University provides. I think the industry exposure can be bettered by giving additional opportunities with internships in every year for the students, mandated by the University. It is a great place if you can make use of all the resources available and have a substantive interaction with the authority and the clubs. Happy college life!
