The institute has implemented a Choice-Based Three-Track Project System as an integral part of the curriculum for Final Year B. Tech and Second Year MBA students. This system provides flexibility for students to select one of the following three tracks based on their interests and career aspirations:

1. Industry Internship (II)
2. Research Internship (RI)
3. Entrepreneurial Internship (EI)

Background and Rationale

• Being an autonomous institute, Rajarambapu Institute of Technology (RIT), Rajaramnagar introduced a Choice-Based Project System for final year engineering students in the academic year 2017–18 with the objective of developing globally competent graduates.
• Initially designed with four tracks, the system was revised to three tracks in 2020–21 following the introduction of the Capstone Project as a compulsory component.
• The priority and thrust of the three tracks are to align with the institute’s vision of nurturing socially responsible professionals through academic excellence.
• The system was formulated through extensive brainstorming sessions with faculty, students, and stakeholders across various platforms.
• The brainstorming process identified placement, higher studies, research, and entrepreneurship as the key outcomes for engineering graduates. Accordingly, the three tracks were designed and introduced in the 8th semester with a duration of 21 weeks.

Students Guideline

1. An orientation session on the Three-Track Project System and its implementation will be conducted annually.
2. Track preferences of students will be collected by the respective departments. Students are required to indicate their preferences based on their interests and future career plans.
3. Students who give the Industry Internship (II) track as their first preference will be directly allotted to it.
4. Students opting for the Research Internship (RI) track must appear for an interview conducted by the respective department. Allotment will be based on interview performance. In case a student is not allotted the RI track, the next preference will be considered.
5. Students opting for the Entrepreneurial Internship (EI) track must appear for an interview conducted centrally by the CIIED Cell. The decision regarding allotment will be taken by the Head of the CIIED Cell. If a student is not allotted the EI track, the next preference will be considered.
6. Students giving RI as their first choice and EI as their second choice (or vice versa) must appear for both interviews. The final decision regarding allotment will be based on interview performance and student preference. If such students are not allotted to either RI or EI, they shall be placed in the II track
