Is it possible to integrate Angular js directive inside Angular 7 component at the runtime. The Angular js is a separate project module with its own folder stucture.This folder structure includes directives as well. Can these angular js directives be imported into Angular 7 application by providing the directive's file path and used in Angular 7 component template. Kindly suggest if there is a way to do this.

This is NOT recommended. The architectures and life cycles of both are very different and you are just increasing the chances of errors, time and effort by doing so.
To answer your question: Yes, there is a way to do it as you can manipulate the DOM using any JS lib/framework and by using your ng7's @ViewChild/templateRefs to gain control of the element, but you will face issues while updating data to/from Angular7.
I'd highly suggest you make a new ng2+ component and import the code from your old project and work on it to make it into an Angular2+ component.
