Pro-Tip for 2026: Since KIIT allows you to appear in multiple phases, use Phase 1 as a "real-time mock" to understand the difficulty level. If your rank is not satisfactory, you can re-register for Phase 2 or 3 to improve your score, as the highest score across phases is typically considered for the final merit list.
