The 9th ICMEET is an international colloquium, which aims to bring together academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to discuss the recent developments and future trends in the fields of microelectronics, electromagnetics and telecommunication. Microelectronics research investigates semiconductor materials and device physics for developing electronic devices and integrated circuits with data/energy efficient performance in terms of speed, power consumption, and functionality. The books published so far with the title ICMEET in LNEE, discussed various topics like analog, digital and mixed signal circuits, bio-medical circuits and systems, RF circuit design, microwave and millimeter wave circuits, green circuits and systems, analog and digital signal processing, nano electronics and giga scale systems, VLSI circuits and systems, SoC and NoC, MEMS and NEMS, VLSI digital signal processing, wireless communications, cognitive radio, and data communication.
The International Conference on Micro-Electronics Electromagnetics and Telecommunications is organized so far in various parts of the country for eight times successfully. The proceedings of the recent eighth version is published in 3 volumes and previous seven versions of the conference are published in the Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE) series of Springer Inc. All the papers published with ICMEET so far are indexed by EI Compendex and Scopus databases.
Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), a household name in the education sector, has become a sought-after destination in India for professional studies. It is admired all over for the quality of its academic courses, its community outreach work and as a university of compassion and humanitarianism. It has become a case study because no other educational institution in India has grown in its scope and scale as much as KIIT has in a short span of 25 years. Its incredible transformation is truly a journey from Soil to Silver.
KIIT started in 1992-93 as an Industrial Training Institution. However, 1997 is considered the base year for the University as undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Engineering, Management and Computer Applications were added. In 2007, many new schools were added to its umbrella – School of Law, Biotechnology, Medical Sciences, Dental Sciences, Nursing, Mass Communication, Film and Media, Fashion and KIIT International School. Since then, there has been no looking back! Today, KIIT offers professional education to around 40,000 students from across India. This includes 2000 international students from 65 countries. The alumni of KIIT, over a lakh of them, have made their mark in their respective careers in academics, corporate organizations, civil services and enterprise.
One would find it difficult to imagine that such a celebrated institution with a global reputation was established by an unassuming humble being, Dr Achyuta Samanta, the Founder of KIIT and KISS, who started the institute with all of Rs 5000 as the initial investment. He had big dreams and a passion to make a difference. Dr Samanta started KIIT in two rented rooms with 12 students and 2 staff. The modest institution has now grown to incomprehensible propositions and is spread over a vast 36-square-kilometre academic township. Its 25 lush green campuses employ over 3000 eminent faculty and researchers and 15000 staff. KIIT and KISS together is a family of over a lakh people. The campus houses a 2600-bedded super speciality hospital, KIMS, a multi-storey central library, a central research facility, a 22-storey research and innovation wing, auditoriums – the largest one with 5000 seating capacity, 18 sports complexes, many international standard stadiums covering all sports, 30 food courts, and a rose garden. The institution takes pride in being the greenest campus in India.
It has received all accreditations and affiliations from prestigious national and international bodies such as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), USA and the Institution of Engineering and Technology, (IET), UK because of its quality research, innovation, and publications and citations. KIIT has had an excellent placement record since its inception owing to its quality teaching and learning process, and the brand value that it carries. KIIT is ranked in the cohort of 601-800 in the Times Higher Education ‘World University Ranking 2024’. Its Computer Science Engineering ranks in the cohort of 301-400 and its overall Engineering ranking is 401-500 in the world. KIIT has been accredited with an A++ grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with an all-India 15th rank by the National Institution of Ranking Framework, NIRF, Ministry of Education. It has also been the top university for innovation among private institutions for two consecutive years (2020, 2021) according to AICTE, Government of India. It has been ranked 168 among universities in the world as per the Times Higher Education Young University Ranking 2024.
KIIT has made colossal contributions to sports, having produced 23 Olympians. The University has been honoured with the CII Sportstar Award, FICCI India Sports Award, and Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puruskar 2022 for its outstanding promotion of sports and encouragement through Corporate Social Responsibility. Additionally, KIIT and KISS serve as the nodal centres for the FIFA Football for Schools Programme in Asia. Beyond its immense contributions to the development of the state and the city, KIIT has also promoted local art, culture, sculpture, rural development, literature, and spiritualism. All these achievements have been possible because of its founder, Dr. Achyuta Samanta—lovingly called Samanta Sir—who embodies principles, discipline, hard work, and selfless service. It truly is an inspiring story of a humble man steering two institutions to glory despite all the hardships and struggles.
