KIIT has academic tie-up with 162 reputed universities across the world. This arrangement presents an excellent opportunity to KIIT students to pursue higher education abroad. Dr. Samanta encouraged students to avail this opportunity. Last year, more than 500 students had been selected in reputed national and international institutions / Universities for higher studies. Students got confirmed offers from top universities in Switzerland, France, Norway, Canada, Poland and Germany for higher studies courses, including Ph.D.

The University is able to achieve excellent placement record consistently due to its student-centric culture and innovative teaching-learning system, driven by a highly qualified and competent team of faculty, drawn from institutions of repute such as IITs, IIMs, XLRI, IISc, JNU, etc. It has 2500 faculty members who impart rigorous curriculum and provide access to varied learning opportunities and hands-on research.

Nobel Lecture Series and KIIT Knowledge Tree are part of this initiative under which 20 talks by Nobel Laureates have been arranged for the benefit of students and faculty.
