What is the placement record at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology?

For the 2026 graduating batch, Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), Bhubaneswar has recorded an average package of ₹8.50 LPA, a highest package of ₹44.52 LPA, and roughly 70.00% of students placed so far, with the season still ongoing. The 44.52 LPA top offer for 2026 came from Human Resocia, while mass recruiters Infosys (653 offers) and Accenture (632 offers) led the hiring volume among 272 participating companies that have together extended more than 3,500 offers. This continues a multi-year pattern: in 2025 KIIT placed 92.50% of its batch with a highest package of ₹53.00 LPA, and in 2024 it placed 83.06% with the same ₹53.00 LPA peak and a median of ₹7.40 LPA. The figures below break down each year so applicants to KIIT can judge consistency rather than a single headline number.

Year-Wise Placement Statistics

This table is the factual spine of KIIT's placement record across the three most recent cycles, 2026, 2025 and 2024. It answers the most-searched question - how much do KIIT students actually earn and how many get placed - by laying the highest package, average package, median package and placement percentage side by side. Read each row as a single graduating batch; the 2026 row reflects an ongoing season, so its highest of ₹44.52 LPA and ~70.00% placed are interim figures that typically rise as recruitment closes. Where KIIT has not officially released a metric for a given year, the cell points you to the official source rather than inventing a number.

The clear takeaway for a KIIT aspirant is stability at the average and the top: the average package has held steady at ₹8.50 LPA across all three years, while the highest package sat at ₹53.00 LPA in both 2024 and 2025 and stands at ₹44.52 LPA mid-way through the 2026 drive. The placement percentage is where the real movement happens - it climbed from 83.06% in 2024 to 92.50% in 2025, and the 2026 figure of ~70.00% is an in-progress number that should be read as a snapshot, not a final result. The 2024 median of ₹7.40 LPA sitting just below the ₹8.50 LPA average tells you most offers cluster in the mass-recruiter band, with a smaller set of high-value roles pulling the average up.

Top Recruiters at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology

KIIT's recruiter list is led by high-volume IT services firms and topped, on package, by global product companies. In the 2026 season, Infosys was the single largest recruiter with 653 offers, followed by Accenture with 632 offers, the two anchors among 272 visiting companies. The highest 2026 offer of ₹44.52 LPA came from Human Resocia, with Hike (₹41.70 LPA) and PayPal (₹36.50 LPA) among the other top-paying names. In 2025, the ₹53.00 LPA peak was offered by Yugabyte to a KIIT School of Technology student, with NVIDIA reported around ₹36.28 LPA.

By sector

• IT services and consulting (highest volume): Infosys, Accenture, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, Capgemini, IBM, HCL, Deloitte, Mindtree.
• Product and technology (highest packages): Human Resocia, Hike, PayPal, Yugabyte, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe.
• Finance, analytics and global firms: JP Morgan Chase, DE Shaw & Co, Bain & Company, McKinsey, CME Group, EY, PwC, KPMG.
• Core and engineering: Bosch, Ericsson, Capgemini Engineering.

The pattern for a KIIT applicant is twofold: IT services firms such as Infosys and Accenture drive the bulk of offers and underpin the ~70-92% placement rates, while a smaller set of product and finance firms such as Yugabyte, Human Resocia and JP Morgan Chase account for the ₹40-53 LPA headline packages.

Sector & Role-Wise Breakdown

This breakdown shows where KIIT offers concentrate by recruiter type and the package band each tends to deliver, which is the practical question behind "what will I actually be hired as?" Because KIIT does not publish an exact percentage split of offers by role, the shares below are indicative bands derived from the recruiter mix - IT services dominating volume, product and finance firms driving the top end. Read the "typical package" column against the verified anchors: the ₹8.50 LPA average for 2026 and the ₹44.52 LPA to ₹53.00 LPA highest band seen across 2024-2026.

The takeaway is that the typical KIIT graduate is most likely to be hired by an IT services firm at a package close to the ₹8.50 LPA average, while the widely-publicised ₹44.52 LPA (2026) and ₹53.00 LPA (2025) figures come from a narrow band of product and finance recruiters. For 2026 specifically, KIIT reports that 45 companies extended "dream" offers averaging above ₹10 LPA, confirming that the high-value band, while smaller, is a real and recurring part of the placement mix.

Placement Trend Analysis

Across 2024, 2025 and 2026, Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology shows a steady core with a clear upward swing in placement conversion before the current ongoing cycle. The average package has been flat at ₹8.50 LPA in all three years, signalling a stable baseline rather than rapid salary inflation - a realistic expectation an applicant can plan around. The highest package held at ₹53.00 LPA in both 2024 and 2025 (Yugabyte, 2025) before the 2026 batch's interim peak of ₹44.52 LPA from Human Resocia, a figure expected to firm up as the season closes.

The most meaningful movement is in placement percentage: KIIT rose from 83.06% placed in 2024 to 92.50% in 2025, both cycles backed by 5,585 offers across 700 companies. The 2026 number of ~70.00% placed should be read in context - it is mid-season, with 272 companies having already made 3,500+ offers and Infosys and Accenture alone contributing 653 and 632 offers respectively. Given that recruiters continue to visit through the cycle, the 2026 figure is a snapshot on an upward path rather than a final, comparable number. For an applicant, the durable signals are clear: a consistent ₹8.50 LPA average, a recurring ₹40-53 LPA top band, and a 700-plus company recruiter base that has repeatedly delivered placement rates in the 83-92% range.
