With 17,000 students pursuing under graduate and post graduate studies in Engineering, MCA, Management,Rural Management, LAW, Bio-technology, MBBS, BDS, Nursing, Fashion Technology, Cinema & Media studies and Language, KIIT stands out as one of the finest Universities of India declared under section 3 of the UGC Act of 1956.

The distinction, which made it the youngest ever to achieve it, came only after six years of commencement of undergraduate programmes; thus earning it an entry into the Limca Book of Records on another count.
Responding to the needs of globalization, KIIT in its endeavour to reach out to every knowledge centre of the world has entered into academic partnership with more than 60 world class Universities.In order to promote knowledge sharing and collaborative research, KIIT embraced memberships of several important institutions including the International Association of Universities (IAU), Association of Indian Universities (AIU), Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU), International Association of Universities Presidents (IAUP) and University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific (UMAP).
