Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), formerly KIIT, Bhubaneswar, is a private deemed university[4] located in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.[5] It offers 34 undergraduate, 32 postgraduate, 10 integrated, 11 Ph.D and 7 postdoctoral research programmes in the fields of science and engineering, medical science, management, law, film and media, humanities and yoga and sports.[6]

It was founded in 1992 as Industrial Training Institute in Bhubaneswar.[7] 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'.[8]
