Expressing happiness over the development, Prof. Achyuta Samanta, Founder, KIIT & KISS credited combined efforts by students and staff for the achievement. "KIIT's performance in the rankings is significant as it is a multi-disciplinary university with as many as 28 faculties. Had it been an institution offering only Engineering courses, it would have achieved much higher ranking," he said. KIIT's consistent outstanding performance in global and national rankings is only due to the vision of its Founder, said elated KIIT staff.
