About 80 per cent eligible students from the Schools of Technology (SOT) of the KIIT got placements in the online process that started on July 1, 2020.
As many as 90 companies have visited online for campus placement for 2021 passing out batch generating 3500 job offers. Over 2500 SOT students have already been placed in different national and multinational companies, according to a press release.
