Excellent placement offers or a modern structural campus.

Infrastructure: The mechanical department of KIT College is modern and big. It contains labs, office, toilets, classroom, and also contains a large parking area. Students face many problems related to mess and food beacuse the available mess is very less and they do not give proper quality food. In college area, some private rooms are present which give good quality of living as compared to college and private hostels.
