RNSIT MBA Scholarships

Two schemes cut the fee by INR 40,000 to INR 1.16 Lakhs over the course. The SC and ST post-matric scholarship gives the most, the full tuition fee. Both need an income paper, and you cannot hold both at once.

RNSIT MBA Course Structure

Year 1 covers the core subjects and year 2 covers your two specialisations and the internship. The course has four semesters under the VTU syllabus. You pick specialisations such as Finance, Marketing, Human Resources or Business Analytics in year 2.

YearWhat you study
Year 1Management, accounting, economics, marketing and people management
Year 2Two specialisations, electives and the internship project

Should you pick MBA at RNS Institute of Technology?

This course suits students who want a low-fee MBA seat in Bangalore and can accept a big batch.

Pick it if:
You want to work in Bangalore after the course: the campus is inside the city, so internships and interviews with city firms do not need a move.
You got a government quota seat through PGCET: your tuition fee for the full course is INR 1.16 Lakhs, much less than a management quota seat here costs.
You want the fee back fast: at the median pay the full tuition fee comes back well inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
You want to choose your subject area later: you pick specialisations such as Finance, Marketing or Business Analytics only in year 2.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a high first salary: the PG batch median is INR 4 LPA, far below the engineering offers the college is known for.
You want a small batch: the course has 240 seats, so the placement cell shares its recruiters across a big batch and 70% of the PG batch was placed.
You are counting on one year's closing rank: the General Merit close moved from 1,724 in 2024 to 30,271 in 2025, so one number is not a safe guide.
You may skip document verification with KEA: KEA does not open option entry for you without it, and you miss this seat in that round.
Counsellor's advice
If KEA offers you RNSIT MBA on a government quota seat in round 1, take it and report on time. If you want a smaller batch or a higher median pay, keep a college above it and float your choice.

In short
BMSIT's General Merit seat closed at 1,617 in 2025, a far tougher rank than this page's, and it has fewer seats. If your rank clears 1,617, list BMSIT above RNSIT; if it does not, keep RNSIT as your realistic pick.
In short
CMRIT shows a higher median pay and more of its batch placed, but its General Merit close was tougher. If your rank clears 22,694, list CMRIT above RNSIT; if it does not, take the RNSIT seat.
In short
Acharya IT has the same number of seats and a higher median pay, with a slightly tougher close. If your rank clears 26,789, list Acharya IT first; if it clears only 30,271, take the RNSIT seat.
In short
Dr AIT publishes less MBA data, but its General Merit seat closed at 8,243 in 2025. If your rank clears 8,243, compare both fees before you choose; if not, keep RNSIT high in your options.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
