Rajagiri Business School Placement Statistics: year-wise comparison
This is the comparison that should be used before looking at a single highest-package number. The table uses RBS's NIRF data for graduating cohorts and keeps the cohort year explicit.
| Graduating cohort | Graduates | Placed | Placement rate* | Median salary | Higher studies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-25 | 215 | 201 | 93.5% | ₹7.50 LPA | 8 |
| 2023-24 | 215 | 204 | 94.9% | ₹7.00 LPA | 1 |
| 2022-23 | 150 | 117 | 78.0% | ₹4.50 LPA | 9 |
| 2021-22 | 159 | 87 | 54.7% | ₹5.50 LPA | 5 |
*Placement rate here is calculated as placed ÷ graduates from the NIRF-reported counts; it is not necessarily the same as a placement percentage advertised in a placement brochure. RBS's NIRF 2025 disclosure reports 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 figures; the latest NIRF 2026 outcome supplies 2024-25.
What changed over these years?
- Median salary increased from ₹5.50 LPA in 2021-22 to ₹7.50 LPA in 2024-25.
- The reported placed-student count increased from 87 to 201 across these cohorts, although cohort size and reporting conditions changed.
- The 2024-25 median is higher than the 2023-24 median by ₹0.50 lakh.
- The 2022-23 cohort shows a lower median of ₹4.50 LPA, so students should look at the multi-year trend rather than relying only on the latest figure.
RBS Placement Salary: median, top 10, top 50 and top 100
| Salary indicator | Reported figure | Reporting basis |
|---|---|---|
| Median salary | ₹7.50 LPA | 2024-25 NIRF cohort |
| Top 10 placements | ₹16.13 LPA | 2023-25 placement report |
| Top 50 placements | ₹11.26 LPA | 2023-25 placement report |
| Top 100 placements | ₹9.28 LPA | 2023-25 placement report |
| International placements | 21 | 2023-25 placement report |
RBS's top-10/top-50/top-100 numbers are useful for understanding salary distribution, but they should not be called the average or highest package. The median salary is the cleaner comparison metric because it represents the middle of the placed-student salary distribution.
How should students interpret ₹7.50 LPA median?
A ₹7.50 LPA median means roughly half of the reported placed salaries are at or below the median and half are at or above it. It does not tell you the exact salary for a particular specialisation, recruiter or job role, and it is not the same as monthly take-home pay.
RBS Placement: sector-wise hiring
The 2023-25 placement reporting identifies several major hiring groups. The named percentages below should not be treated as a complete 100% distribution because the published categories do not cover every employer grouping.
Consulting/advisory/audit is the largest named category, followed by FMCG and BFSI/financial-services and IT/ITES. This mix is relevant for students deciding between finance, marketing, analytics, consulting and general-management career paths.
Rajagiri Business School Recruiters
Recent recruiter communication includes companies such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Federal Bank, KPMG, EY, PwC, Nestlé, ITC, Coca-Cola, Godrej, Havells and Goldman Sachs.

| Consulting / Audit | KPMG, EY, PwC | Advisory, audit, consulting, business roles |

RBS Placement Support and Internship Process
The Office of Corporate Relations coordinates final placements, summer internships, industry interactions, professional-body associations and career support. The placement cell also supports career counselling and pre-placement training and works on recruiter relationships.
RBS describes its placement ecosystem as being supported by experiential learning, mentoring and an Individual Development Plan. Students therefore have career preparation running alongside the academic programme rather than only during the final placement season.
What students should do before placement season
- Choose electives around the target career rather than choosing a specialisation only because of a recruiter name.
- Use the summer internship to build a demonstrable project or business outcome.
- Prepare a role-specific CV before final placements.
- Build interview readiness around business awareness, communication and functional concepts.
- Compare fixed pay, variable pay, role, location and growth—not just CTC.
RBS Placement ROI: is the PGDM worth the cost?
With current PGDM tuition referenced at ₹7.50 lakh and the latest NIRF median salary at ₹7.50 LPA, the tuition-to-median comparison is attractive. However, total cost includes hostel, academic charges, living expenses and potentially loan interest.
Positive ROI signals
₹7.50 LPA latest median, 201 placements in the 2024-25 NIRF cohort, 170 recruiters in the 2023-25 placement report and scholarship opportunities.
What can change your ROI
Scholarship received, loan rate, variable CTC, role quality, location, living costs and how quickly you progress after graduation.
