About Rajagiri Business School
History and Background
About Rajagiri Business School, Kochi Rajagiri Business School (RBS) opened in 2008 in Rajagiri Valley, Kakkanad, a short distance from Infopark and SmartCity Kochi. It belongs to the Rajagiri group of institutions run by the CMI congregation, and its parent body is the Rajagiri College of Social Sciences Society. RBS works as a stand-alone institution with AICTE approval rather than as a university college. The main course is a two-year, full-time PGDM split into six trimesters, with a summer internship between the two years. The Association of Indian Universities treats it as equivalent to an MBA degree. The school also runs a PGDM-International and a Fellow Programme in Management for doctoral study. RBS holds AACSB accreditation and was the third business school in India to receive EFMD accreditation for its PGDM. The programme is also accredited by ACBSP, and it held NBA accreditation up to June 2025. For PGDM admission, Rajagiri uses one combined application form for its management courses. Shortlisting is based on CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, KMAT or GMAT scores along with academic record. Shortlisted candidates take a group discussion, a personal interview and a Business Awareness Test, and the final rank list follows AICTE rules. Applicants need a bachelor's degree with at least 50 percent marks. The campus runs along the Chithrapuzha river and has won the Best Institutional Garden prize at the Kochi Flower Show several times. Apart from smart classrooms, the school has two open-air teaching spaces called Bella Vista and River View, an amphitheatre, computer labs, a management library and separate hostels for men and women.
