KIIT Convention Centre

From a modest beginning in 1997, Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) has evolved into a multi-disciplinary institution, respected worldwide for its culture of educational excellence. The excellent academic ambience, quality faculty, adherence to strict academic rigor and plethora of other academic activities led to grant of university status under Section 3 of UGC Act 1956 to the institute by the Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India in the year 2004, within just six years of its inception. MHRD conferred Category ‘A’ status and NBA of AICTE accredited it in Tier 1 (Washington Accord) in 2014, placing KIIT among the most elite universities of the country.

KIIT’s cosmopolitan campus is proud to have more than 27,000 students from all corners of India and around 50 countries. It sprawls over 25 sq. km. area with one and a half million square metre of built up area. There are 28 constituent schools, contiguously located in impeccably landscaped and modern-technology-enabled campuses, offering graduate, post-graduate, doctoral and post-doctoral programmes in a wide range of disciplines.

The University has taken steps to provide impetus to research and development activity – both by faculty and the students. More than 100 R&D projects are currently underway supported by several national and international agencies. The institute’s strong focus on research and academic collaborations has been drawing academics and scholars from around the world and has led it to alliance with over 160 globally reputed institutions abroad and membership in many national and international educational associations and bodies.

KIIT is unique in integrating professional education with social concern. Its protégé, Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), provides holistic education from KG to PG, food accommodation, health care and all basic necessities absolutely free to 27,000 poorest of the poor tribal children. KISS has been declared a Deemed University under Section 3 of UGC Act, 1956.
