R.R. Institute of Technology, or RRIT, is the engineering college of the R R Institutions group on Hesaraghatta Main Road at Chikkabanavara. Two things set it apart when you compare colleges in north-west Bengaluru. Its NBA accreditation is programme-specific, covering CSE, ISE and Civil Engineering according to COMEDK, and its “RR” initials are often confused with RajaRajeswari College of Engineering on Mysore Road. This guide clears up both points and explains RRIT management quota admission for the 2027 intake.
For fees and the number of seats still open, please contact us for updated details, since both change every year.

RRIT or RRCE? Two Different Colleges
Families searching for “RR college” often mix up these two. They are separate institutions in different parts of the city.
| Point | R.R. Institute of Technology (RRIT) | RajaRajeswari College of Engineering (RRCE) |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Hesaraghatta Main Road, Chikkabanavara, north-west Bengaluru | Mysore Road, Kumbalagodu, south-west Bengaluru |
| Managed by | R R Institutions | A separate trust |
| University | VTU | VTU |
| This guide | Yes | No, see our separate guide |
When you call, say “RRIT, Chikkabanavara” to make sure you reach the right admission office.
What Programme-Level NBA Accreditation Means
NAAC and NBA are often mentioned together, but they measure different things.
- NAAC assesses the institution as a whole: governance, teaching, research, infrastructure and student support.
- NBA accredits individual programmes, such as B.E. in CSE. It checks whether that specific programme meets set outcomes in curriculum, faculty, labs and student results.
So when RRIT lists NBA accreditation for CSE, ISE and Civil, it means those three programmes have been reviewed separately. It does not automatically extend to every branch. If NBA status matters to you, for example for some jobs or study abroad, check whether your chosen branch is covered and for which years.
B.E. Branches at RRIT
| Branch | What you study | NBA listed by COMEDK |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | Programming, systems, networks, software | Yes |
| Information Science and Engineering | Databases, web systems, enterprise software | Yes |
| Civil Engineering | Structures, construction, surveying, geotechnics | Yes |
| Electronics and Communication Engineering | Circuits, communication, embedded systems | Not listed |
| Electrical and Electronics Engineering | Power systems, machines, control | Not listed |
| Mechanical Engineering | Thermal systems, design, manufacturing | Not listed |
RRIT also lists a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, which suggests an active research department. Students drawn to construction, structures and infrastructure may find this a useful signal. Our guide to Civil Engineering management quota in Bangalore compares civil options across the city.
How a Management Seat Works at RRIT
Every B.E. branch at RRIT is shared between KCET counselling run by the Karnataka Examinations Authority, COMEDK UGET counselling and the management and NRI category that the college fills directly. Under the 2025-26 seat-sharing order (ED 170 TEC 2025, 5 July 2025), non-minority private unaided colleges split seats 45, 30 and 25 percent across these three routes. Minority colleges follow a different pattern, so confirm RRIT’s category and split in the current seat matrix.
Once admitted, management students attend the same classes and receive the same VTU degree as everyone else in the branch.
Studying on a Group Campus
R R Institutions runs several institutions on its campus, and RRIT shares that setting. For an engineering student, a group campus can mean shared sports grounds, auditoriums, canteens and transport. It can also mean a busier campus at peak times. Ask which facilities belong to RRIT itself and which are shared, especially libraries and labs, so you know exactly what your branch has access to.
The Hesaraghatta Road Campus
RRIT shares the north-western stretch of Hesaraghatta Main Road with several other colleges. A group campus of about 27 acres gives room for labs, sports and hostels.
- Convenient for: students in Chikkabanavara, Hesaraghatta, Jalahalli, Peenya, Yeshwanthpur and Nagasandra.
- Workable for: students from Malleshwaram, Rajajinagar and Vidyaranyapura, depending on traffic.
- Long for: students from south and east Bengaluru, who should plan on a hostel or college bus.

RRIT Management Quota Fees 2027
RRIT sets management fees by branch and revises them each year, so we do not publish figures here. For this year’s figure, contact us for updated details. Treat the printed fee structure as your reference: any amount not on it, or any request to pay a person rather than the college, should stop you. Capitation is illegal in Karnataka, and has been since 1984. Our list of management quota mistakes to avoid shows what to watch for.
