About Rajarajeswari Institute of Technology
Rajarajeswari Institute of Technology is a VTU-affiliated engineering college in Kengeri, Mysore Road, South-West Bangalore — established in 1991 and accredited at NAAC A. Before anything else: this is a different institution from RajaRajeswari College of Engineering (RRCE), which is also on Mysore Road and also in the Kengeri area. Two separate colleges, same area, similar names — confirm your KCET institution code carefully.

Admission Process
Karnataka domicile students apply through KCET. Standard PCM eligibility: 45% in Class 12 (40% for SC/ST). NAAC A at the 12,000 – 27,000 GM range is competitive for the Mysore Road corridor.

|---|---|
| KCET / Government Quota | Rs. 1 lakh – 1.5 lakh per year |
| Management Quota | Rs. 2 lakh – 3.5 lakh per year |
Placements
IT service companies recruit from campus. The Mysore Road Metro and BMTC connectivity give students access to Bangalore's broader placement ecosystem. TCS, Infosys, Wipro and regional firms visit campus for CSE and ISE hiring.
Who Should Apply
Rajarajeswari IT suits students in the 12,000 – 27,000 GM range targeting the Kengeri / Mysore Road belt with a NAAC A credential. The 1991 founding and South-West Bangalore location work well for students from that part of the city.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Confirm autonomous status — if RRCE (also NAAC A, autonomous) is accessible on your rank, autonomous status gives it a curriculum edge. JSSATE (NAAC A++, Uttarahalli-Kengeri belt) is nearby and significantly stronger if your rank can reach it at 8,000 – 18,000 GM.
