Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), formerly KIIT, Bhubaneswar, is a private deemed university located in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.
It was founded in 1992 as Industrial Training Institute in Bhubaneswar. In 2017 it was renamed Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology following the UGC order to drop the term "University" from the name for all the institutes granted the status of 'Deemed to be Universities'.
KIIT was established in 1992 as an Industrial Training Institute with only twelve students and two faculties. It is part of KIIT Society which is estimated to be worth US$1.3 billion as of 2020. In 1997, the School of Technology and the School of Computer Application were established. In 2004 it was conferred the status of deemed university and renamed KIIT University.
In November 2018, the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Bhubaneswar experienced significant campus unrest due to violent clashes between student groups. The conflict reportedly began when law students objected to lewd comments being made to a female law student, leading to escalating tensions. On November 24, approximately 300 to 400 engineering students engaged in aggressive actions, including stone-pelting and assaults with wooden sticks, resulting in injuries to over 25 law students. The situation prompted authorities to evacuate nearly all 400 law students and several engineering students from the campus to prevent further violence. In response, the Infocity police detained five students and registered two cases related to the incident. The university administration also vacated two hostels as a precautionary measure, clarifying that various school classes continued as scheduled.
