The University is committed to ensuring disability does not provide a barrier to existing and prospective student & staff, we have clear disability policy for accessibility to our physical environment, admissions, recruiters advantage, support to differently able staff & student.

Every year, several students and staff with physical and/or mental health conditions and learning differences join KIIT in various academic programs and departments respectively.

KIIT has always been committed to providing an inclusive academic and working environment for one and all. As part of this commitment, access to a wide range of support services are provided to them for helping them succeed with their studies, day-to-day activities, work, travel, and lifestyle. Equal opportunity on the basis of qualification and experience is provided to differently abled staff to perform the genuine and reasonable requirements of their role by making appropriate and reasonable adjustments to the staff member’s workplace.

Leaving no one behind itself draws our attention to the one of the most vulnerable sections of the society, the differently-abled persons. Safeguarding their interests requires an entitlement monitoring of their actual needs rather than generalizing them with that of a common man. KIIT University is a pioneer in promoting innovation and inclusion of students with disabilities in Higher Education. With the motto of “Empowerment of the Higher Education”,Policy has been established in the year 2020 for empowering students with Disabilities in Higher Education.To maintain its smooth function,The “Equal Opportunity Cell”plays a active role in this regard.
