In 1982, Krori along with two students showed why the elusive fundamental particles neutrinos, originally believed to be mass-less like the [[photons]], must possess some finite rest mass in order to be consistent with [[General relativity|Einstein’s general theory of relativity]].  

Krori received a [[Bachelors of Science|BSc]] degree from [[Karimganj College]] and [[Master of Science|M.Sc]] from [[University of Calcutta|Calcutta University]]<ref name="roy">{{cite book |author1=HP Roychoudhury |title=My Journey & Sovereign United Bengal|date=13 December 2013|page=261 |publisher=Partridge Publishing |isbn=9781482812015|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QjiVAgAAQBAJ&q=kd+krori&pg=PA261 |access-date=8 January 2021}}</ref> in 1953.  

Krori joined [[Karimganj College]] and then [[Cotton University|Cutton College]] as a lecturer.<ref name="roy"/> He became a professor at [[St. Anthony's College, Shillong]].<ref name="roy"/> After holding many teaching positions, he earned Ph.D. degree by virtue of independent research in [[theoretical physics]] from [[Jadavpur University]], [[Kolkata]], in 1971. He joined [[Cotton University|Cotton College, Guwahati]], in north-east India, as a lecturer in physics. There he started research on the general theory of relativity. Later he became a full professor and headed the Department of Physics. He became the Principal of the institute in 1987 and retired in 1991.
