Top-line fees and what to budget (2027)
Rajalakshmi School of Business fees for the MBA/PGDM programme in the 2026 admission cycle show a reported tuition fee of ₹8,05,000 for the full course and a reported combined total (including one-time deposits) of ₹9.90 L for the full programme, according to the most recent published updates (Shiksha page updated 7 Oct 2026). The programme duration is two years.
Below is a concise table that lists the verified components published for 2026.
Component | Amount (₹) | Period | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Tuition fee (MBA/PGDM) | 8,05,000 | Full course (2 years) | Reported tuition for entire programme (Shiksha, updated expected October 2026) |
One-time charges (security/registration deposits included) | 1,85,000 | Full course (one-time) | Listed as combined one-time payment components in the published fee breakdown (Shiksha, updated 7 Oct 2026) |
Total fee (tuition + one-time charges) | 9,90,000 | Full course (2 years) | Published total course fee figure (Shiksha, updated 7 Oct 2026) |
Interpretation: budget for ₹9.90 L as the total payable across the two-year MBA/PGDM cycle if you account for tuition and the listed one-time deposits. If you prefer an annual view, expect roughly ₹4.025 L per year of tuition (tuition divided evenly: ₹8.05 L/2) plus any front-loaded one-time charges; the college lists the one-time components as a full-course charge of ₹1.85 L (see table).
For admissions, contact details and the official admissions page for Rajalakshmi School of Business are available on the college admissions page: Rajalakshmi School of Business.
The figures above are taken from a Shiksha fee page updated on 7 Oct 2026. Verify final payable amounts and instalment schedules directly with the institute at admission, since colleges may revise fees or apply special scholarships.
Detailed tuition & per‑year breakdown
Rajalakshmi School of Business fees for the MBA/PGDM programme in the 2026 cycle list the programme tuition as ₹8,05,000 (total for 2 years) and an additional one-time component included in some published totals brings a combined figure to ₹9.90 L for the full course (published Oct 7, 2026). The table below shows the published tuition split by year and semester where source data allows.
Year | Tuition (₹) | Per-semester (₹) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Year 1 (2026-27) | ₹4,02,500 | ₹2,01,250 | Calculated as half of the published ₹8,05,000 total tuition for 2 years (source updated Oct 7, 2026). |
Year 2 (2027-28) | ₹4,02,500 | ₹2,01,250 | Second-year tuition equals first-year; RSB publishes only the 2-year tuition total (Oct 7, 2026). |
The per-year split above is an arithmetic division of the published ₹8,05,000 total tuition because the college's public pages provide a course-level total rather than a certified yearwise breakdown (Shiksha update: 7 Oct 2026). The same published source also shows a ₹1.85 L one-time payment component bundled into some totals; that amount is recorded separately in the one-time charges section of this guide.
Specialisation-based variation: the Shiksha entry notes that the total course fee "depends upon the specialisation opted by the candidate" but publishes a single headline tuition value of ₹8,05,000. No current official breakdown by specialisation with publication date within 60 days is available in the supplied evidence; therefore the table uses the published programme total as the authoritative tuition figure for all specialisations for the 2026 cycle.

One‑time charges: deposits, registration and admission
Rajalakshmi School of Business lists a published combined one‑time payment of ₹1.85 L as part of the MBA/PGDM fee-pack for the full course; this amount is presented by the college data aggregator as including security/caution deposit and registration/admission deposits (latest update: 7 Oct 2026).
Below table summarises the supported one‑time charge figure and its refundability status. Component-level breakdowns were not published in the supplied sources, so the single combined value is used rather than creating unsupported sub‑items.
Charge | Amount (₹) | Refundable? | When paid | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Security deposit + Registration/Admission (combined) | ₹1,85,000 | Partially refundable | At admission/first payment | Published as a combined one‑time payment in the RSB fee table; individual component values not published (source updated 7 Oct 2026). |
Practical interpretation: budget for the combined ₹1.85 Lakh at the time of joining. The source lists this as covering security and registration/admission deposits but does not show how much of it is refundable; a typical private B‑school practice is that the security deposit portion is refundable at course completion subject to dues, while registration/admission fees are non‑refundable.
Because the supplied evidence does not provide a component split or an explicit refund policy, candidates should treat the whole ₹1.85 L as payable upfront and confirm refund terms with admissions at Rajalakshmi School of Business or via Rajalakshmi School of Business.
The figure ₹1,85,000 is published as a combined one‑time payment on the college fee page overview updated 7 Oct 2026. Ask the admissions office for a written breakup and refund schedule before paying.
Recurring academic charges: exam, library, activity, lab fees
Recurring academic charges at Rajalakshmi School of Business cover exam, library, activity and practical/lab fees. The published sources used for this guide do not provide a semester-by-semester official breakdown of each recurring charge for 2026; the available aggregated fee tables list combined tuition and a one-time component but not annual academic sub‑items. Therefore no per‑item official amounts are asserted here.
The most recent verified public breakdown shows total tuition for the MBA/PGDM course as ₹8,05,000 (total) and an additional one‑time payment component of ₹1,85,000 for deposits and registration, producing a combined published total of ₹9.90 L for the course (Shiksha, updated 7 Oct 2026). Neither Shiksha nor the college pages in the supplied sources publish separate official annual figures for exam fee, library fee, activity fee or lab/practical fee for RSB in 2026.
Because the required itemised values are not published in the supplied evidence, this section lists which recurring charges students should expect and explains how to obtain exact amounts from the institute at admission.
Exam fee — usually charged per semester or per exam cycle; asked at fee payment/registration.
Library fee — annual or one‑time membership; may appear under ‘library deposit’ within the one‑time components noted in published tables.
Activity fee — covers clubs, events and student activities; often billed per year or semester.
Lab/practical fee — applicable if your specialisation requires labs or software licences; typically charged per semester or per practical course.
Practical interpretation: plan a contingency of ₹8,000–₹20,000 per year (Estimated) for these recurring academic charges if the institute does not provide a published breakup. This estimate is a budgeting guide only and is not an official charge; it is derived from typical private B‑school ancillary charges in Chennai used in public fee reports (no single-source official RSB breakdown available in the supplied evidence).
To confirm exact amounts, contact admissions by email at admissions@rsb.edu.in or the phone numbers listed on the latest public profile (retrieved from Shiksha update 7 Oct 2026).
Hostel and mess fees (annual and semester options)
Rajalakshmi School of Business fees for on‑campus hostel and mess charges are not published in the supplied primary sources for the 2026 cycle. The available primary evidence provides contact details and indicates hostel facilities exist but does not state amounts (Shiksha update 7 Oct 2026 and Careers360 update 13 May 2026). Because per‑year or per‑semester hostel figures are not provided in the primary sources, this section does not include a table of unsupported numbers.
Practical guidance: contact the admissions office for exact 2026 hostel and mess charges. Use the admissions email admissions@rsb.edu.in or phone 9025103674 for authoritative figures and application deadlines; these contacts appear on the Shiksha entry updated expected October 2026. Expect separate fees for accommodation and mess; ask the college whether mess is compulsory and whether payments are semester or annual.
Documented fact: RSB provides hostel facilities (source pages updated 7 Oct 2026 and 13 May 2026), but published fee amounts are absent from the supplied evidence.
How to request figures: ask the admission office for the current hostel tariff, security deposit, mess advance, and monthly/semester billing cycle; request a written fee schedule before accepting an offer.
Budgeting tip (qualitative): when hostel amounts are unavailable, plan a provisional budget of private hostel + food in Chennai city if you need immediate planning, but obtain RSB figures before committing.
Contact: admissions@rsb.edu.in | 9025103674 (admission query) — listed on the Shiksha page updated 7 Oct 2026. If you want, I can draft an email template to request official hostel and mess charges from RSB.
Fee payment schedule and instalment options
Rajalakshmi School of Business fees are structured for the 2026 admission cycle with a course-total tuition of ₹8.05 L and an overall published total fee of ₹9.90 L (includes one-time deposits) according to the institute fee Overview updated on 7 Oct 2026. The institute presents the total fee and notes that the payment frequency may be annual, semester or a one-time payment depending on the component; the public notice on 7 Oct 2026 does not publish a detailed per‑instalment calendar or exact due dates.
The published fee page indicates a combined figure for tuition plus one-time payments but does not list a firm instalment plan or semester-wise split in its public fee table. Prospective students should therefore expect the following practical realities at admission: the one-time components such as security deposit and registration are generally collected at seat acceptance; tuition can be collected either as a single course-fee payment or in periodic instalments as decided by the institute administration at admission time.
For aspirants seeking instalment options, the college contact details shown on the official listing include an admissions phone (9025103674) and admissions email (admissions@rsb.edu.in) published with the fee page updated 7 Oct 2026. Students planning loans or bank financing should confirm the instalment schedule before disbursing funds because lenders often require a formal fee breakup or an official invoice from the college to release funds.
If you need the official instalment dates, request the institute’s 2026 fee circular or offer letter at admission; the published public pages used for this article do not contain semester due dates, penalty schedules or exact instalment counts for the 2026 cycle.
Scholarships, waivers and loan options at RSB
Rajalakshmi School of Business offers defined academic, test-based and sports/cultural scholarships for the PGDM/MBA cohort in the 2026 cycle; student loan options follow standard bank routes for professional courses.
Below is a concise table of published scholarship slabs and amounts for 2026.
Scholarship type | Criteria | Amount (₹) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Academic-based scholarship | Cumulative score of Class 10, Class 12 and UG; First class in all exams | ₹50,000 — ₹1,25,000 | Slabs: ₹50,000 for 240–254.9; ₹75,000 for 255–269.9; ₹1,00,000 for 270–285; ₹1,25,000 for 285 and above (published 7 Oct 2026) |
Test-based scholarship | Performance in accepted entrance tests (CAT/XAT/CMAT/MAT/GMAT/others) | Variable — institute decides | Listed as available on published 2026 page; specific score-to-amount mapping not published |
Sports & cultural scholarship | Representational achievements in sports or cultural activities | Variable | Offered; amount and eligibility categories not detailed on the published 2026 information |
Practical interpretation: the Academic-based scholarship slabs above are explicitly published on the institute's 2026 fee/admissions page updated 7 Oct 2026. Test-based and sports/cultural scholarships are listed as available but the site does not publish exact amounts or cutoffs for those categories; applicants should request written confirmation from the admissions office when offered a seat.
Loan options: Rajalakshmi School of Business does not publish an exclusive loan programme on its 2026 pages. Students typically obtain education loans from public and private banks using the institute fee invoice and admission letter. For loan processing aspirants should keep the institute contact emails info@rsb.edu.in and admissions@rsb.edu.in ready; the Shiksha page (updated 7 Oct 2026) lists these contacts.
How fees vary by specialisation
Rajalakshmi School of Business fees for the MBA/PGDM programme are published as a single course fee rather than by specialisation. The available official and recent listings show a total tuition of ₹8.05 L for the MBA/PGDM programme and a total fee (including one-time deposits) of ₹9.90 L for the complete course cycle; neither the college’s fee Overview on public records nor recent aggregator pages provide separate tuition amounts for individual specialisations.
Below is a concise table reflecting the published specialisation table (only where supported):
Specialisation | Total tuition (₹) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
General / All offered MBA/PGDM specialisations | 8,05,000 | Published single-course tuition for MBA/PGDM; no specialisation-wise split published (Source updated 7 Oct 2026). |
Interpretation: Rajalakshmi School of Business fees are uniform across specialisations in public fee disclosures for the 2026 cycle. Career pages and college-fee summaries (latest update 7 Oct 2026) list the programme fee as a single figure; prospective students should treat the ₹8.05 L tuition as the baseline regardless of the specialisation chosen and the ₹9.90 L figure as the published all-inclusive course charge where one-time deposits are included.
Practical pointer: if you require a verified specialisation-wise breakdown (for fellowships, employer reimbursement or loan documentation), request a formal fee statement from the RSB admissions office at Rajalakshmi School of Business Chennai or email admissions@rsb.edu.in to obtain an itemised invoice before paying.
Budgeting: living costs, books, transport (annual estimate)
Estimate for additional living costs required while studying at Rajalakshmi School of Business should be treated as planning guidance; they are not institutional charges. The figures below use typical Chennai student expense brackets reported for private B‑schools and campus-area living in 2026 and are presented as annual totals with monthly breakdowns.
Expense | Monthly (₹) | Annual (₹) | Assumption basis |
|---|---|---|---|
Shared off‑campus accommodation (rent) | 6,000 | 72,000 | Shared PG or rented room near Chennai campuses; assumes ₹6,000/month. |
Food & mess (if not in college mess) | 4,000 | 48,000 | Cooking/meal expenses for students not using institutional mess; ₹4,000/month. |
Local transport | 1,200 | 14,400 | Daily commute by bus/auto; ₹1,200/month (Chennai intra-city). |
Books, study materials & subscriptions | 800 | 9,600 | Textbooks, case packs, online subscriptions; averaged to ₹800/month. |
Personal & miscellaneous (clothing, phone, laundry) | 1,500 | 18,000 | Variable student expenses; assumed ₹1,500/month. |
Estimated total (annual): ₹1,62,000 — monthly equivalent ₹13,500. These values are planning estimates derived by summing the rows above and do not appear on Rajalakshmi School of Business fee schedules. Aspirants who choose on‑campus hostel and mess may substitute the hostel/mess fee from the college's published figures; on‑campus costs typically reduce rent and food estimates but require checking the RSB hostel section for exact 2026 charges.
Plan a contingency buffer of at least one months living cost (around ₹13,500) for unexpected expenses.
Students relying on scholarships or loans should confirm whether allowances cover living costs; RSB lists scholarship slabs on its fees page.
Use the MBA ROI Calculator to compare total programme cost including living expense estimates when evaluating affordability.
