Ms Jyotirmayee Nayak is Odisha’s pride and, for us, a proud KIIT alumna. Her journey to the Grand Finale of Indian Idol Season 16 has given great happiness to the entire KIIT, KISS and KIMS family.

We were very happy to welcome and felicitate her during her homecoming at KIIT & KISS. As she moves towards the Grand Finale, I request all our students, staff, alumni and well-wishers to vote for her on the Sony LIV app and encourage others to support her as well.

Let us all come together and help our lovable KIITian bring the title home.

Very happy to share that KIIT has signed an MoU with Universidad APEC (UNAPEC), one of the largest and most reputed private universities in the Dominican Republic. This is KIIT’s first academic partnership in the Caribbean region and the first such partnership of UNAPEC with an Indian university.

The MoU was signed with UNAPEC Rector Erik Pérez Vega, in the gracious presence of H.E. Shri Kishan Dan Dewal, Ambassador of India to the Dominican Republic. UNAPEC is known especially for business, professional education, technology, tourism and applied career-oriented programmes.

My sincere thanks to Rector Erik Pérez Vega and the leadership of UNAPEC for their cooperation and for opening new opportunities for the students and faculty of both institutions.
