As you all know from the heading itself you are going to face one of the most discussed topics. Let us be honest we all have come across this topic in newspapers, in debates, sometimes in group discussion etc. Do you know what? you are supposedly going to find an answer now.

So let's begin. Wikipedia (which is our support system, the database of facts) says that “Artificial intelligence (AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is the intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals.”

So simply artificial intelligence is when my phone recognizes my voice, or when the phone works with a touch or the digital watch you are wearing measures your pulse and acts as a pedometer too. Wow, I guess it's not too complicated now. For someone who is new to AI,“ it is when machines make things more efficiently better for us.”

Now when it all began? And more importantly why it all began? Let me answer the first question when and how. With the increase in population data increased and that means data to be processed increased right that means we need a DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM so it was developed boom !! next now my data is processed and then it is an information with certain conditions but I need to manage it. so boom!! it is a MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM(which manages data) now I need to make decisions what is my priority? So here we have “DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM”and then finally comes “INTELLIGENT SYSTEM” or which I like to call an independent decision support system.

So moving to the next question “WHY?”. I want to sit somewhere, I can sit on the floor, yeah but if I will get myself a chair won't it is comfortable of course, wait I can push a cushion good! But I can go for a sofa right? How about with some pizza and coke and a foot massager. Perfect! Right, what am I referring? Comfort, all my needs summed up in one position this is why we need artificial intelligence. Now consider it in a bigger scenario previously we needed people to keep data and records now what do we need a simple computer and all your work is done but then where will the people go? we get here rise in unemployment. Then again it connects you with your distant friend partying in states but at the same time helps in getting the pizza at your door making you parting away from yourself.

Yes, I believe artificial intelligence is a threat to the human race because artificial intelligence is enabled with the power of decision making BUT also it is BIASED by the ONE WHO MAKES THEM. We make them independent to take their decisions and yes we make ourselves dependent on them to take our decisions. Somewhere I have also seen human race taken over by AI mates but at the same time somewhere I see the need of the time is not to stop but to think. Remember as said by Lisa Kleypas “You are your own worst enemy. If you can learn to stop expecting impossible perfection, in yourself and others, you may find the happiness that has always eluded you.”I would ask you to consider the first line. The intelligent systems we make/design are made or designed or embedded the way we want them to be. I would leave it onto you right now. I hope you got your answer. Thank you for sparing time. And yes a tip don't stop reading articles read more and more so that you learn more and more.

Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology is one of the best private engineering colleges in India. And also Computer Science and Engg. is the most demanded branch among the students. Only, for this reason, the competition becomes tough. Not only for KIIT, the scene is same at almost every engineering colleges. There are some students who really love coding and love the subjects of computer science, but a huge number of students are taking admission in this branch just by watching others, they don't know their interest, they just know that CSE has high demand in the market. So, if you are really excited about computer or computer science, and preparing for taking admission at KIIT then you should know the following things - 

Admission Process - 

Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology conducts their own admission test known as KIITEE to admit students in various branches. So you have to appear in KIITEE to take admission at KIIT. Depending on your KIITEE Rank you can choose your stream. 

Cutoff Rank -

So to get CSE through KIITEE you should have rank with-in 3500. This may vary from year to year, but this will never cross 3500. So you can set 3000 as your target to get CSE. And for other branches related to CSE i.e. IT, CSSE, CSCE the cutoff rank varies. 

As CSE has very high demand so everybody knows the cutoff of CSE. Now within those 3500 students, there are some students who take a different branch according to their choice. After CSE, ETC is the second most popular branch. To get ETC you should have rank with-in 4500. So these are some brief figure of the cutoff rank. Except for these two streams, others are unpredictable. It changes every year. 

Placement - 

Everybody loves CSE for its placement and opportunity. There are very less amount of students who really love computer science. 

Placement of computer science branch is very good. Not only at KIIT, this is the fact of almost all engineering colleges. So no need to worry about placement. If you have some skills, through which you can do something for your recruiters, then they will definitely select you. 

Here are some companies who visit KIIT for the campus placement - Directi, Deloitte, Amazon, Dell, SAP, Ericsson, Wipro, Accenture, Cognizant and many more. You can find more details about the placement status here.

And if you want to do higher studies then also KIIT can be a great place for you. You can prepare for GATE through which you can take admission at various IITs for M.Tech or you can also go for MS. KIIT has tied up with some foreign institute for students who want to go abroad for higher studies.

So these are some information you should know before taking admission at KIIT in CSE branch. So take your decision according. Don't choose any branch just for its demand or popularity. That may not suit you. So always pick that branch in which you have interest. Every branch has its demand on its own field. So everything depends on your skill and your work, your dedication, and determination.
