Overview
About SCMS Cochin School of Business
SCMS Cochin School of Business is a management college in Kochi, Kerala, established in 1994. SCMS Cochin School of Business is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to SCMS Cochin School of Business. SCMS Cochin School of Business offers 2 programmes at postgraduate level. They are Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) and Fellow Program in Management (Fpm). The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 140 seats. Official 2026-28 admissions material identifies a two-year full-time PGDM with 120 seats and six trimesters; the 2025-26 AICTE disclosure/EOA states 120 approved PGDM seats. AIU's February 2026 list names SCMS Cochin School of Business and shows MBA-equivalence coverage through 30 June 2025; no 2026-27 equivalence period was established from the cited evidence, so it is not asserted as current. The latest located AICTE approval evidence is for 2025-26, not 2026-27. Faculty disclosure reports 24 permanent, 20 visiting, 10 foreign and 10 guest faculty; only the permanent count is recorded because the schema requires a single total and the categories should not be merged without a stated convention. SCENSER is an institute/group research and consultancy centre established in 2003; IEDC is supported by Kerala Startup Mission. The 2026-28 admissions page identifies the current two-year full-time PGDM intake as 120. The latest directly retrieved AICTE EOA is for 2025-26; the institution website shows a 2026-27 EOA section, but a target-session approval document was not retrieved. The 60 figure is a college homepage statement about annual corporate visitors, not student intake.
