- Quick answer: MBA tuition totals & instalments (2027)
RCM Bangalore MBA tuition for the 2027 intake is ₹9,70,000 total for the two-year programme; the same amount applies to the PGDM flagship programme. The institute publishes a standard instalment schedule that divides the programme fee into an initial booking and three subsequent payments.
Below is the official instalment table published on the college fee page (2026–10–06 update).
| Program | Duration | Total tuition fee | Per year / Per semester | Registration/Booking at admission | Subsequent instalments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBA / PGDM | 2 years | ₹9,70,000 | ₹4,85,000 per year (equivalent) | ₹60,000 at registration | ₹2,50,000 within 30 days; ₹4,40,000 before programme commencement; ₹2,20,000 before 10 Aug 2028 |
The table reproduces the college's published payment plan: an upfront booking of ₹60,000 holds the fee; the next payment of ₹2,50,000 follows within 30 days. The largest instalment (₹4,40,000) is due before classes start, with the final ₹2,20,000 scheduled before 10 August 2028 for standard admissions. Early-bird rates and scholarship adjustments are referenced separately on the page.
update: RCM's fee page was updated on 06 Oct 2026; the published instalment schedule and total fee for the 2027 intake appear on that page.
- PGDM and BBA fees: totals and annual breakdown (2027)
PGDM and BBA at Regional College of Management Bangalore have fixed total tuition bands for 2027; the paragraph below lists totals and per-year splits where official figures are available.
| Program | Duration | Total fee | Per year fee | Optional additions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PGDM | 2 years | ₹9,70,000 | ₹4,85,000 | Global immersion (₹75,000); CWM programme (₹80,000) |
| BBA | 3 years | ₹3,95,000 | ₹1,31,667 |
The figures for PGDM total and optional additions are taken directly from the institute's 2026–2027 fee page updated 06 Oct 2026; the page shows a ₹9,70,000 standard programme fee and lists the Malaysia Global Immersion at ₹75,000 and the Chartered Wealth Manager add-on at ₹80,000.
The per-year split for PGDM follows the two-year total divided as an academic convention; RCM's published payment schedule lists instalments rather than exact per-year labels but the annualised view above equals the total divided by duration as a practical breakdown for applicants.
- PGDM instalments: the official payment schedule shows staged instalments totalling ₹9,70,000 (₹60,000 at registration, ₹2,50,000 within 30 days, ₹4,40,000 before commencement, balance ₹2,20,000 before Aug 10, 2028).
- BBA note: multiple public sources list the BBA total tuition as ₹3.95 Lakh for the full programme (updated on Shiksha on 01 Oct 2026); no optional additions or an official instalment schedule were published on the supplied pages for 2027.
- Hostel fees, room types, deposits and payment frequency
RCM Bangalore hostel charges are separate from the programme fee and billed in addition to tuition; the institute treats university registration/exam fees the same way. The college’s official fees page (updated 06 Oct 2026) lists hostel as an optional additional cost and shows that university registration and examination fees are charged separately.
The college website provides a clear instalment schedule for the postgraduate programme; it also states that hostel fees are optional additions with their own payments, but it does not publish a semester-by-semester hostel price or room-wise breakdown on the public page. Because no verified public source within the supplied evidence gives per-room annual or semester hostel amounts for RCM Bangalore for 2027, the table below omits unsupported cells.
Planned table: accommodation types and where data is available.
| Accommodation type | Occupancy | Annual fee/Semester fee | Booking/Refundable deposit | Mess charges (if separate) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On-campus hostel (general) | Shared / Single |
Interpretation: RCM’s published 2027 fee guide confirms hostel fees exist as optional charges and that university registration and exam fees and hostel fees are charged separately from the ₹9,70,000 postgraduate programme fee (page updated 06 Oct 2026). The institute does not publish specific annual or semester hostel rates, booking deposits or mess rates on the public fee page; those figures must be confirmed directly with admissions or the finance office.
RCM’s fees page (updated 06 Oct 2026) lists hostel as an optional additional charge; applicants should request the current room-wise hostel tariff and refundable deposit amount from admissions before accepting an offer.
Practical pointers:
- Request an itemised hostel tariff (single vs shared) and the refundable deposit amount in writing when you receive your admission offer.
- Confirm payment frequency—RCM’s page shows programme instalments; optional items (hostel, immersion) have separate due dates.
- Ask admissions for the security deposit refund timeline and the college’s written refund policy for hostel deposits; the public fees page notes loan and scholarship support but not refund timelines.
Contact for hostel fee confirmation: use RCM admissions phones +91 96060 65025 / +91 96060 65026 listed on the official fees page.
- One-time charges and recurring student levies (registration, exam, convocation)
RCM Bangalore fees for 2027 separate programme tuition from administrative and student-levy charges; the college publishes a list of optional and mandatory ancillary charges on its official fee page (updated 06 Oct 2026). The institute specifies a registration hold amount and University registration/exam fees as additional payments alongside tuition.
Below is a concise table showing the one-time and recurring levies that RCM lists for the 2027 postgraduate intake. Every figure and timing below is taken from the college fee guide published on the official site on 06 Oct 2026.
| Charge type | One-time or recurring | Amount | When payable | Refundable (Y/N) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Registration hold (programme) | One-time | ₹60,000 | At registration (to hold fee rate) | N |
| University registration & examination fees | Recurring / as billed by university | Charged separately during admission/semester | N | |
| Convocation / degree certificate | One-time | At convocation / final semester | N | |
| Library / learning resources fee | Recurring (annual) | At start of each academic year | N | |
| Student activity & campus services fee | Recurring (annual) | At fee instalments each year | N |
The official fees page provides the confirmed ₹60,000 registration hold figure and notes that university registration/exam charges and hostel fees are billed separately; specific amounts for convocation, library and student-activity levies are not listed on the published 2027 fee guide and therefore appear as dashes in the table.
- RCM treats the ₹60,000 registration hold as non-refundable; the site states it secures the quoted programme rate.
- University registration and semester exam charges are payable per university schedule and are not included in the programme fee total.
- Ask admissions for itemised receipts and a line-by-line instalment schedule when you accept an offer; contact numbers on the fee page are published as +91 96060 65025 and +91 96060 65026.

- Optional costs: global immersion, certifications and add-ons
RCM Bangalore fees for 2027 separate a standard programme charge from optional add-ons; two paid extras listed for 2027 are the Malaysia Global Immersion and the Chartered Wealth Manager (CWM) programme. Both are charged in addition to the ₹9,70,000 postgraduate programme fee and have their own payment schedules.
The table below lists the optional additions published on the institute fee page (last updated 06 Oct 2026). Each row records purpose, total cost and the instalments shown on the official fee page.
| Add-on | Purpose | Total cost | Payment schedule | Included/Excluded |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Malaysia Global Immersion | International study tour (optional) | ₹75,000 | ₹10,000 at registration; ₹65,000 before programme commencement | Excluded from base fee; travel, visa and university registration charged separately |
| CWM programme | Chartered Wealth Manager certification (optional) | ₹80,000 | ₹10,000 at registration; ₹70,000 before programme commencement | Excluded from base fee; certification exam/registration fees may be additional |
Practical interpretation: the two add-ons raise the total payable if chosen — for example, a student taking both would add ₹1,55,000 to the programme cost, paid in small upfront booking amounts (₹10,000 each) and the larger balance before the course begins. The institute notes these are optional and shown separately from university registration and hostel charges.
Payment sequencing matters: the fee page shows the add-on registration amounts are due alongside the standard programme registration, with balances aligned to the main instalment before commencement. Ask admissions for a scholarship-adjusted instalment schedule if you have an early-bird or merit award.
- Scholarships and fee concessions 2027: eligibility and caps
RCM Bangalore fees for 2027 include structured scholarships based on entrance-test performance and prior academic record; only the single highest eligible award applies per student.
Below is the college-published scholarship table and eligibility bands for the 2027 MBA/PGDM intake.
| Scholarship type | Eligibility (test percentiles / academic%) | Award amount | Application process |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entrance-test scholarship (CAT/XAT) | CAT/XAT 75 / 80 / 90 percentiles | ₹1,00,000 / ₹2,00,000 / ₹4,00,000 | Declared at offer stage; mention score in application and submit scorecard to admissions |
| Entrance-test scholarship (CMAT/MAT/NMAT) | CMAT/MAT/NMAT 90 / 95 / 99 percentiles (varies) | ₹1,00,000 / ₹2,00,000 / ₹4,00,000 | Declared at offer stage; mention score in application and submit scorecard to admissions |
| Academic merit scholarship | Class X/XII/Graduation 70% / 80% / 90% | ₹50,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹70,000 | Considered on submission of mark sheets during admission |
| Armed Forces family award | Parent serving/retired Armed Forces | ₹50,000 | Apply with supporting service certificate to admissions |
The table reproduces the programme fee page published by the college and updated 06 Oct 2026. Entrance-test and academic bands are explicit on the official fee page. RCM states that a student receives one scholarship — the single highest applicable award — not combined awards.
eligibility: Scholarships require documented test percentiles or certified academic marks; provide original scorecards and mark sheets at admission to validate the award.
Interpretation: an applicant with a CAB/XAT 90th percentile qualifies for the ₹4,00,000 entrance award but cannot add an academic award on top. Admissions confirm the final scholarship after verifying submitted documents and will issue the adjusted instalment schedule reflecting the concession.
- Payment methods, instalment examples and refund basics
RCM Bangalore fees are payable through multiple channels; the institute publishes a clear instalment schedule for the standard 2027 MBA/PGDM fee of ₹9,70,000 and optional add-ons. The campus finance office accepts both digital and bank-mediated payments and records receipts for each instalment.
Below is a concise table of accepted payment modes, processing times and documentation required as listed on the official 2027 fee page.
| Payment method | Details/Notes | Processing time | Receipt/Reference needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online payment portal (card/UPI/Netbanking) | College portal accepts cards, UPI and netbanking; applies to tuition instalments shown on the site. | Immediate | Payment confirmation & transaction ID |
| Bank transfer / NEFT/RTGS | Direct bank transfer to institute account; use specified reference at admission. | Same day to 48 hours | UTR / bank transfer receipt |
| Demand draft (rare) | Accepted during campus reporting in limited cases; draft must be in favour of the institute. | 2-5 business days (verification) | Original DD and acknowledgement slip |
| In-person card/cheque | Accepted at finance office; cheques processed subject to clearance. | Immediate to 7 days (cheque clearance) | Official receipt & cheque copy |
The institute's published instalment schedule for the standard fee divides ₹9,70,000 into four payments: ₹60,000 at registration, ₹2,50,000 within 30 days, ₹4,40,000 before programme commencement and ₹2,20,000 before 10 August 2028. These figures and dates are taken from RCM Bangalore's official fees page updated 06 Oct 2026.
- Example instalment scenario: a student paying full standard fee without add-ons submits ₹60,000 at registration, then the three scheduled instalments totalling ₹9,10,000 by the stated dates.
- Security deposit refund: university registration and examination fees are extra; hostel caution/security deposit refund timeline is not explicitly itemised on the public fee page. The site states refundable deposits are handled by the finance office; contact numbers are provided for clarification.
- Basic refund rules: scholarships and early-bird adjustments alter the instalment amounts; RCM's fees page notes early-bird programme fee and scholarships interact and students should request a confirmed instalment plan from admissions. Specific refund timelines or percentage deductions on withdrawal are not published on that page.
For payment queries and official receipts use the admissions/finance contacts listed on the college fees page: +91 96060 65025 and +91 96060 65026.
- How fees changed 2026→2027 (numbers and % change)
RCM Bangalore fees rose for postgraduate programmes in 2027 where the college has published both years' figures. Below table reproduces the published totals for 2026 and 2027 and shows absolute and percentage change where both figures are available.
| Program | 2026 total fee | 2027 total fee | Absolute change | Percentage change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBA (standard) | ₹8,80,000 | ₹9,70,000 | ₹90,000 | +10.23% |
| PGDM | ₹8,80,000 | ₹9,70,000 | ₹90,000 | +10.23% |
| BBA (total) | ₹3,95,000 |
Interpretation: RCM's official 2027 fee guide published on 6 Oct 2026 lists the postgraduate programme fee as ₹9,70,000 for both MBA and PGDM; multiple education portals reported the 2026 total as ₹8.80 lakh. Where both figures are published, the jump from ₹8.80 lakh (2026) to ₹9.70 lakh (2027) is an absolute increase of ₹90,000, or +10.23%.
The BBA total shown on several 2025–26 listings remains at ₹3.95 lakh in public portals; RCM's 2027 fees page does not publish a revised BBA total, so percentage change is omitted.
UPDATE: RCM's official fees page was updated on 06 Oct 2026 with 2027 postgraduate programme totals and instalment schedule; check the admissions office for any later revisions.

- Peer comparison: RCM vs nearby Bangalore colleges (fee overview)
RCM Bangalore fees sit within the mid-to-upper range among the local private B‑schools listed in the verified data. The table below shows the latest-public total MBA/PGDM tuition figures and the city for direct comparison.
| College | Total MBA fee (latest-public) | City |
|---|---|---|
| IFIM Business School Bangalore | ₹14 lakh | Bangalore |
| XIME Bangalore | ₹19 lakh | Bangalore |
| Regional College of Management Bangalore | ₹9.70 lakh | Bangalore |
The sources used for these figures are the supplied verified data sheet and RCM's official fee page (updated 6 Oct 2026), which publishes the ₹9.70 lakh standard programme fee for MBA/PGDM 2027. IFIM and XIME totals come from the provided verified dataset rows (latest-public totals).
Interpretation: RCM Bangalore fees of ₹9.70 lakh place it below the two private peers listed—both IFIM and XIME report higher total tuition. For applicants this means RCM is positioned as a cost-competitive option among established Bangalore private B‑schools in the verified set, while still offering paid optional add-ons (global immersion, CWM) that raise total cost if chosen.
- Use these totals to compare programme inclusions: RCM's published fee explicitly excludes university registration/exam and hostel fees.
- When assessing ROI, compare peer placement metrics alongside these tuition totals—placement data for peers is available in the verified data sheet.
- Practical pointers: fee payment checklist for applicants
RCM Bangalore fees should be paid in the order that secures your seat and preserves scholarship eligibility: registration hold, main instalments, and optional add-ons. Start with the admission registration amount and follow the institute payment schedule to avoid rate changes or forfeiture.
- Pay registration/booking first: the RCM website lists a ₹60,000 registration hold for the 2027 postgraduate programmes; that amount secures the early-bird rate and starts the instalment plan. Hold receipts are required for later adjustments.
- Confirm scholarship timing: apply for entrance-test or merit scholarships before the first main instalment is due. RCM’s published scholarship table sets entrance-test percentiles and award bands; the highest applicable award is applied, not cumulative.
- Follow the published instalment dates: RCM’s payment schedule for the standard postgraduate fee shows staged payments after registration: ₹2,50,000 within 30 days, ₹4,40,000 before commencement and ₹2,20,000 before expected August 2028 for the standard ₹9,70,000 fee.
- Decide on optional add-ons early: global immersion (Malaysia) and CWM certification require separate one-time payments (listed as ₹75,000 and ₹80,000 respectively) and can be added to the instalment plan at registration or before commencement.
- Arrange loans before large instalments: SBI scholar-loan support is referenced on the RCM fee page; begin sanction paperwork early if you need collateral-free options or moratorium details.
- Keep originals for refund cases: retain fee receipts and the registration receipt; RCM’s page instructs applicants to contact admissions for scholarship adjustments and confirmed instalment plans.
deadline: pay the registration hold to secure the early-bird programme fee by 31 Oct 2026 as stated on RCM's fees page for 2027 admissions.
