The program of B.Sc. RIT final year consist of contents and lessons that are outcome-based, mostly inclining towards training Excellency. The aims and objectives under this area of interest consists of career potential, profession development, supportive pathway, and the major shift in final year program will be based majorly on skills and competency based education and training. Hence, the curriculum for the final year of B.Sc. RIT will be focused on skills and competencies based approach. The table consists of the subjects and subject’s code that will be taught in this curriculum.
