KIIT scores high in university rankings based on robust academic framework and innovative practices

Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), based on its robust academic framework and innovative educational practices has been consistently recognised for its dynamic approach to education that emphasises not just academic rigour but also the holistic development of its students.

KIIT, Deemed to be University, which is just 20 years old, has outshone many older and more established institutions, including several IITs. Faculty, students, and staff at KIIT and KISS have expressed deep gratitude towards Dr Achyuta Samanta, the founder for his visionary leadership and dedication which have been pivotal in KIIT’s rapid rise and substantial impact on national and international levels.

In a notable achievement in its academic rankings, KIIT has ascended to the 11th position in India in the Times Higher Education Young University Rankings for 2024. In last year's rankings, KIIT was placed in the cohort of 151–200 globally and now, this year, the global rank has significantly improved to 168. This move demonstrates KIIT’s continuous improvement and commitment to excellence in higher education.

This achievement is particularly significant considering the institution's age compared to others that have been educational pillars for about half a century.

Faculty, students, and staff at KIIT and KISS have expressed deep gratitude towards the Founder Dr. Achyuta Samanta. His visionary leadership and dedication have been pivotal in KIIT’s rapid rise and substantial impact at both national and international levels.
