About Rajagiri Business School
Rajagiri Business School is a management college in Kochi, Kerala, established in 2008. Rajagiri Business School is privately managed and self-financing. Rajagiri Business School offers 2 programmes at postgraduate level. They are Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) and Fellow Programme in Management (Fpm). The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 260 seats. The 2026-27 AICTE EoA identifies the exact Kochi institution as Rajagiri Business School, Permanent ID 1-4787341, with an approved PGDM intake of 240 and Fellow Program in Management intake of 20. The current official website names Prof. Kishore Gopalakrishna Pillai as Director and Dean. The official faculty roster is available, but it does not publish a dated total, cadre totals, faculty-student ratio, or PhD-holder count. The school reports Le Cocon, an incubation centre operated through its IEDC and supported by Kerala Startup Mission and KSIDC; the source describes startups and activities but does not state a formally counted incubated-startups metric. The official publication page reports publications spanning 2017-2026, including Scopus- and ABDC-ranked outlets. No official minimum attendance percentage, medium of instruction, or exam pattern was located in the cited material. Parent hospital and clinical tie-ups are not applicable to this management institute. Standalone AICTE-approved business school; the 2026-27 AICTE EoA approves PGDM and FPM. The admissions page mentions a possible future MBA if the parent institution becomes deemed-to-be university, but this is not current approval and is not recorded as an MBA. No university affiliation or college code was published for this standalone PGDM unit.
