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 -
