What is the scope of retail management and marketing (RMM) course? Is it worth investing 11 lakhs for this course?

Well to be honest, investing 11 lakhs for ITM is not worth. Average salary package is around 5-6lacs and very few of them get packages more than 10 lakhs, which too is in international currency. Designation offered are floor managers and operation managers which requires working on weekends too. If you are quite passionate, then no one will stop you but keep in mind the above parameters. All the best.
