Education is the source of strength which lays the foundation of any country 

I believe Education is not an Industry, it’s a very noble service to the individuals, to the society, and to the nation. This service is exactly what makes me feel proud and keeps me intact in this domain.

Students are a great source of energy and inspiration for all of us. I personally love meeting & interacting with the students and this is the one factor why I have chosen the education domain to serve my passion as a career. During my journey with education domain I have helped & counseled thousands of students to choose better & right career

The ability of the students to out-perform and the amount of efforts they put in decide the placement statistics

Our technical programs are offered in collaboration with IBM. The placements at the IBM partnered universities have always been pretty good at average package of 5-7 Lakhs. Highest package depends upon the student’s ability and the amount of efforts they put in to get placed. On our end we try to bring in as many companies as possible. We have witnessed the highest package reach upto 21-22 lakhs per annum for specializations that we are offering. Additionally, in our MBA program students get a stipend range of INR 5000-25,000 per month as a part of their internships in our Group companies. These companies hire full time MBAs in the pay range of 7-14 lakhs per annum. There are numerous criteria that are taken into considerations such as their performance, their projects, which forms an essential part during the placements. 

Students have to learn how to prioritize in order to better utilize their time

Competition has always been high & it will increase many folds in the future. Students need to focus on the right priorities & better utilization of their time. At KKMU, we push students to utilize their semester breaks & available free time for industry orientation in the form of internships, projects & short-term immersions with our various Co-op partners.
