08 A LITTLE CLARITY HELPS

Good questions.
Clear answers.

A useful place to start, whether you’re exploring KIIT or helping someone take their next step.

Rather speak to us?

Your question does not have to fit a category.

Ask admissions
Does an enquiry complete my application?

No. The enquiry form asks the admissions team for guidance. Your application must be completed through the official application route, including the required submission and uploads. Read the application procedure.

How do I choose a programme?

Start with the programme finder. Compare Engineering, Liberal Studies and other relevant options, then check the eligibility and admission route for your chosen programme and intake.

Are applications open for my intended intake?

The official homepage marked KIITEE 2026 as closed when checked on 30 October 2026. For another intake, use the official calendar and admissions announcements. Ask the team if the published information does not cover your intended year.

Where can I check my eligibility?

Use the official eligibility criteria and prospectus for your programme and intake. Required subjects, marks, qualifications and other conditions can differ. The programme finder helps you explore; it does not decide eligibility.

Which documents should I prepare?

The published 2026 application procedure lists a photograph, signature and Class 10 pass certificate or marksheet. Check the current portal instructions for file specifications. Counselling and reporting have their own document requirements: use the application procedure and counselling information.

Where do I find fees and scholarship conditions?

Check the applicable prospectus and official admission notices for your programme, route and intake. Ask admissions about anything unclear before making a decision. A scholarship or fee rule for one phase should not be assumed to apply to another.

Where are results, ranks and allotments?

Use Applicant services above and choose Results & ranks or Counselling & allotment. Match the published year and phase to your application. For a PhD session, confirm the destination if the published result link does not show that session.

How do I know my counselling steps and dates?

Read the official counselling schedule and its linked procedure for your programme and phase. Follow the route-specific instructions for participation, document verification and payment. The requirements for a different phase or year may differ.

I need help with a payment, refund or hostel-consent form.

Use the relevant published service in Applicant services. If a link is unavailable or a payment needs clarification, contact admissions with your application reference. Request the current hostel-consent link from the team. Do not put passwords, OTPs or card details in an enquiry.

Where should international applicants begin?

Use the International applicants section and its official guidance. International eligibility, documents, fees and intake availability must be checked for that route; a domestic KIITEE notice does not establish international availability.

Where can I explore accommodation and campus life?

Visit the campus-life section for accommodation, facilities and student life, or take the official virtual tour. Contact admissions for current joining arrangements or to discuss a visit.

What if the enquiry form does not load?

Call 8080 735 735, email [email protected] or use the official contact page. An enquiry helps you request guidance; it does not replace an application.

Guidance checked 30 October 2026. Official programme and intake documents govern eligibility, fees and admission decisions.

A vision that changed lives

A dream born from struggle. A future built for millions.

Behind KIIT stands the extraordinary journey of Prof. Achyuta Samanta—a teacher whose own struggles gave him a lifelong passion to make quality education accessible to every child.

Prof. Achyuta Samanta surrounded by students at the KISS prayer ground in Bhubaneswar
Prof. Achyuta Samanta Founder, KIIT & KISS

His life’s mission has always been simple: to bring education, dignity and opportunity to those who need them most.

The passion and purpose behind KIIT

From hardship
came hope.
From hope
came KIIT.

Prof. Achyuta Samanta grew up facing poverty, hunger and immense hardship. These experiences did not limit his dreams. They gave him a powerful purpose—to ensure that young people receive the education, care and opportunities that can transform their lives.

With ₹5,000, two rented rooms, 12 students and an unwavering belief in the power of education, he began a journey that grew into KIIT and KISS. His vision was never limited to establishing institutions. It was to create a compassionate world where education builds confidence, character and a desire to serve society.
