After a much effort, I have finally found a rooting method for this device on KitKat. Hope it helps!

Requirements:
- Galaxy Tab 3 7″ T211 running stock KitKat (If you would like to install the KitKat update, follow this guide.
- A windows computer
- A USB to Micro-USB cable
- The USB drivers for this device. Kies will work, but make sure it is not open during the rooting process.
- Odin (download here)
- CWM (download here)
- Superuser (download here)
Method:
- Download odin and install it on your PC.
- Download CWM and extract it to your desktop. The extracted file should be a .md5 file. (Zipeg won’t won’t work)
- Boot device into download mode. To do this you restart your device while holding in [power button+ volume down]. A warning should appear on the screen; press the volume up button to continue.
- Run Odin on your computer.
- Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable. The ID:COM box in Odin should turn blue.
- Check (Tick) Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time and PDA.
- Click on PDA and import CWM (recovery.tar.md5). Wait a few seconds for Odin to check the consistency of the file.
- Click on the start button and wait for Odin to do its work. When it is finished it will reboot your device.
- Download superuser, but do NOT extract it. When your device has booted, move it to the root of the internal memory (Not in any folders)
- Reboot into CWM. Do this by restarting while holding in [power + volume up]. Navigation: Volume buttons = Up and Down, and Power = Enter.
- Select “install zip”, “install zip from /sdcard”, “0/” then navigate to the superuser file you just moved, select it and confirm with “yes” to install.
- Navigate back home and restart.
- Download and install “SuperSU” from the play store. Open it and install the files it asks you to. (Normal, not HTC)
- Reboot.
Congratulations! You have successfully rooted your Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 T211 Running KitKat. Enjoy!
