Choice Based Credit systems

Being an Autonomous, Rajarambapu Institute of Technology, Rajaramnagar has designed and incorporated Choice Based Curriculum structure for Engineering and MBA students by keeping in view the need of current Global scenario.CBCSprovides a learning platform wherein the student or knowledge seeker has the flexibility to choose their course from a list of elective, core and soft skill courses. This is a student-centric approach to learning or acquiring higher education.CBCS helps to improve performance, outcomes, entrepreneurship skills, innovation and creativity talents of students.

1. CBCS for First Year
