The KIIT University has added a major milestone to its credit as it has received the prestigious Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), UK, accreditation for its BTech degrees.
The significant achievement is yet another reflection of the world-class quality education provided by the university. Presently, the KIIT is the only university in India to get such a kind of accreditation.
IET UK President Jeremy Watson and Chief Executive Nigel Fine gave this coveted certification to KIIT & KISS founder Prof Achyuta Samanta in Bengaluru on Friday. The KIIT University has got the accreditation till 2022. The process of getting the accreditation is a rigorous one, for which the university’s efforts had started way back in 2013.
It is the second-most prestigious accreditation for Engineering.
The IET accreditation is an internationally-respected benchmark awarded to high-quality programmes that provide an ideal preparation for aspiring professional engineers. The IET-accredited courses are at par with the UK and internationally. It is looked favourably by employers and increases the career prospects.
