Kasegaon Education Society is one of the leading educational organisations in the Western Maharashtra. It was established in 1945 by Late Shri. Rajarambapu Patil, the leading statesman. Considering the need of time, the Society focused its attention on taking the education to the threshold of the rural masses. The Society started schools in the nearby villages and a hostel for backward class students at Kasegaon. After the untimely and sad demise of Shri. Rajarambapu Patil in 1984, it was Shri. Jayant Patil, his son, who alike his father entered his public life through educational activities. He shouldered the responsibility of Kasegaon Education Society. Shri. Jayant Patil took the Society with time, diversifying its educational facilities. Today the Society has 31 primary & secondary schools and 15 higher educational institutes under its roof. This includes mainly three arts, commerce & science colleges, two information technology institutes, an engineering college, a polytechnic, two management institutes, a nursing institute, a agricultural polytechnic, a pharmacy college and an international school. The Society has been conferred with prestigious award like 'Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Dalitmitra Puraskar', 'State Award for Educational Institutes'. Certificates of appreciation have been also awarded to the Society by C-DAC & MKCL for its exemplary contribution towards computer literacy. Rajarambapu Institute of Technology established in 1983 has proved to be a landmark development of the Society as well as an instrument for expanse of its horizon.

There exists a wide gap between the expectations of industry from engineering graduates and the

knowledge, skills and competency the students possess leading to reduced employability. RIT being an

autonomous institute is sensitive to this issue and proactive in bridging the gap through interaction with

industries and professional organizations. RIT is accorded the status of academic autonomy from the year

2011-12, which we look towards as great opportunity to design and implement curriculum sensitive to needs

of Business and Industries, introduce innovative evaluation system to make students learn they are expected

to learn (learning outcomes). The RIT model of Autonomy focuses on “Experiential learning which believes in

learning by doing. This is achieved through hands on experience, industrial assignments mini projects and

live problem solving. RIT proactively embraced Outcome Based Education (OBE) to prepare students for

careers that demand high level of competencies. RIT set in to dynamics of transformation and witnessing a

shift in focus from teaching to learning and entire academic system of RIT is designed to provide multiple

learning opportunities for students to acquire and demonstrate the knowledge, skills and competencies for

rewarding career.

Special features of RIT Academic Systemsl Transformation of teaching methodology from traditional lecture mode to creating different learning opportunities to address various

learning styles of students.

l Curriculum design with the judicious mix of theory, laboratory work, mini projects, tutorials, industrial visit and field assignments.

l Institutional level open electives are being introduced which gives a student to study the course of his choice from different disciplines.

l Self study courses are introduced to prepare students for lifelong learning

l Professional skill development as a part of curriculum to develop the all-round personality of students

l The assessment scheme is designed to evaluate students learning and linked to attainment of PO’s and Co’s.

l Series of innovative assessment techniques have been introduced like in semester evaluation (ISE) 20%, mid-semester (30%) and End Semester evaluation (50%).
