The official college website explains competency-based education and training (CBET) as modular training in specific occupational skills.

Programme availability, minimum grades and assessment requirements vary.
2026 admissions: KUCCPS and self-sponsored students
RIAT’s more recent public website information advertised applications for the September 2026 intake and provides links for KUCCPS admission letters and higher-education loans or scholarships. Because older pages also display a May 2026 notice, applicants should always check the latest college announcement rather than assuming one reporting date.
- Choose an available course and verify the qualification level and entry grade.
- Review the current admission notice for September 2026 or a later advertised intake.
- KUCCPS-placed students should follow the official placement and admission-letter link.
- Other applicants should contact the college or follow the self-sponsored application instructions.
- Provide the requested academic and identity documents through official channels.
- Obtain an updated fee schedule and joining instructions before paying or arranging accommodation.
