“In life, be a fighter, not a quitter!” Dr. Achyuta Samanta, Founder, KIIT & KISS has been following this philosophy since his childhood. Inspired by the philosophy of the Founder, students of KIIT Deemed to be University also feel themselves as fighters or crusaders in their academic career and life. In this context, KIIT launched a Mobile App, ‘KIIT Krusader’, to bring about digital transformation, inclusion and automation in its communication with its key stakeholders – students and parents.
The Mobile App was launched on 10th November 2020, on the occasion of World Science Day, by Prof. (Dr.) Sasmita Samanta, Pro-Vice Chancellor, KIIT Deemed University in the presence of the Deans and Directors of Schools of Engineering.
