Q: What are the pros and cons of doing an MBA from FMS Delhi University?

Theres no point in going over the usual benefits like placements, good professors, university infrastructure and fees, and so on. However, it is critical to consider some genuine and neutral arguments in favor of IIMs (at least in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta). When making decisions, many B-school aspirants mention ROI. The wealth maximization theory provides the NPV method, which is superior to the rate of return theory. Your future cash flows are indeed influenced by your B-school, and the difference is usually large enough to outweigh the outflow in year zero. An important question to ask yourself is, "Are you doing an MBA to save money or to add value?" If the latter is your answer, you should be prepared to pay a reasonable price for it. Theres a reason people like the IIM label. It still carries some clout in the market. In terms of B-school brand value, an IIM has a faster growth rate. As a result, there is a chance that FMS will lose to IIM IKS in the next 10-15 years. Having a subsidized university education comes with its own set of costs. Placements are completely student-led. There is no credit system, which makes student exchange difficult. For FMS, the semester system is the norm, which has its own drawbacks.

FMS Delhi Faculty of Management Studies: 9 Answered Questions

For people with lower academics, which MBA college is better, IIM ABC, FMS or XLRI?

Aditi BanerjeeLives in Bangalore

Honestly speaking, it might be very difficult to secure admission in the aforementioned B Schools with low academic scores. However, these are not the only B schools in India providing excellent Management education. These B Schools require a decent academic background with a good CAT score. The list is as follows

S. P. Jain Institute of Management & Research
National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli
Lovely Professional University
Great Lakes Institute of Management
Vellore Institute of Technology
Nirma University
PSG College of Technology
Fore School of Management
SVKM's Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies
Birla Institute of Management Technology
Banaras Hindu University

Please bear in mind that getting admission to any BSchool depends on your individual profiles and not on the policies of the institute.

How did you get into MBA in FMS Delhi?

Prachi GuptaStudied at Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi (Graduated 2021)

I will narrate to you the experience of my sister who thought she could never make it into FMS. But she tried anyway and as luck would have it she made it!

In 2016 my sister did not fill FMS application form as she thought she wouldn’t be accepted. With a percentile of 96.54, she got into MDI. Soon after she got interested in consulting, she rejected MDI and with little hope fill the application form for FMS the next year. With a CAT percentile of 99.21, she received an interview call. Almost all the other candidates had a better percentile than her. Yet she did not give up and went into the interview room with full confidence and a positive attitude. Amazingly she ranked 3rd out of 1010 candidates for GD/PI/Extempore Rounds. After a waitlist, she finally made it into FMS Delhi.

Once admitted she never took this opportunity for granted and made the best out of her MBA years. So never give up even before trying!

Will I get a good placement with 70% in 10th, 70% in 12th, 63% in graduation, and an MBA from FMS Delhi?

Arun RajagopalStudied at Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi

If you are concerned about your past academic records then rest assured for the final placements don’t usually pay much attention to past academic records.

MBA is much more than just learning and writing your answers and scoring good marks. It is more about applying logic and increasing your decision-making skills. So to compensate for your poor past academic performance, become a part of the managerial committee and improve your resume. Enhancing your decision-making and managerial skills will increase your chances of getting a good placement than your academic background.

Also, FMS in itself is a brand name that will fetch you a good package.

Which one is better MBA from FMS Delhi or IIT Delhi?

Sushmita Guptastudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

It is not a brainer that an MBA from FMS Delhi is a much better choice than IIT Delhi. IIT Delhi's MBA program is not even close to that if FMS and both are poles apart. If you want your MBA degree to be valuable enough to shape your career drastically, FMS is the one for you.

Here are a few pointers as to why I am so strongly in favor of FMS Delhi:

Ranking: One of the most valued ranking systems, IIRF ranks DMS IITD MBA 14 out of 44 colleges in India while FMS is ranked 5 out of 44 colleges in India in 2023.

Fees: IIT Delhi offers MBA at around INR 10.4 Lakhs (for 2 years) while FMS has very low fees of around INR 96,000 per year. This is almost 1/4th of the fees of the MBA program offered at IIT Delhi despite being way ahead in terms of brand value.

Placements: Being one of the premier B-schools in the country, it offers excellent placements that almost par with the top IIMs and its placements are nowhere comparable to IIT Delhi’s placements.

Particulars	FMS Delhi	DMS IIT Delhi
Highest package	INR 1.23 CPA	INR. 36.70 LPA
Average package	INR 34.1 LPA	INR 21.90 LPA
Median package	INR 31 LPA	INR 20.60 LPA
Top sectors	Consulting, Marketing	Sales & Marketing, Strategy & Consulting
Top Recruiters	Accenture Strategy, Airtel, Amazon American Express, Bain & Co, BCG etc	Rockwell Automation, Texas Instruments, ICICI, Optum, Medtronic, GE Healthcare

ROI: One does not even need to think twice before saying that FMS Delhi offers a much higher return on investment than IIT Delhi with much lower fees and placement opportunities notches higher.

Many times people forgo offers from top IIMs just for FMS because of no financial burden.

Which company offers 66 Lakhs salary in FMS Delhi MBA placements and what was the domain profile?

Arshit JainMBA from Faculty of Management Studies, the University of Delhi

It may seem inappropriate to reveal the recruiter's name, but the company was a bulge bracket investment bank and is a regular recruiter at FMS Delhi.

It only hires from the country's Top 3 Business Schools for its coveted front-end Investment Banking position. The company only hires through the summer placement process from three Indian business schools whose Finance curriculum, practical exposure, and candidate quality meet the company's high expectations, which include a salary of INR 66 LPA.

The company typically hires candidates with Outstanding academic records from Old IITs/BITs/CAs/Top Commerce Colleges and conducts interviews that can be very challenging, especially when focusing on the candidate's business and financial intellect. Interns who can manage an 80-100 hour work week during their summer internship while consistently delivering high-quality analysis, ideas, and presentations are offered a Pre-Placement offer for their coveted Front End Investment Banking role. During the two-month summer internship, the company pays a stipend of Rs 2 lakh per month.

What are the pros and cons of doing an MBA from FMS Delhi University?

SagardeepStudied at Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi

There's no point in going over the usual benefits like placements, good professors, university infrastructure and fees, and so on. However, it is critical to consider some genuine and neutral arguments in favor of IIMs (at least in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta).

When making decisions, many B-school aspirants mention ROI. The wealth maximization theory provides the NPV method, which is superior to the rate of return theory. Your future cash flows are indeed influenced by your B-school, and the difference is usually large enough to outweigh the outflow in year zero.

An important question to ask yourself is, "Are you doing an MBA to save money or to add value?" If the latter is your answer, you should be prepared to pay a reasonable price for it.

There's a reason people like the IIM label. It still carries some clout in the market. In terms of B-school brand value, an IIM has a faster growth rate. As a result, there is a chance that FMS will lose to IIM IKS in the next 10-15 years.

Having a subsidized university education comes with its own set of costs. Placements are completely student-led. There is no credit system, which makes student exchange difficult. For FMS, the semester system is the norm, which has its own drawbacks.

What is life like after receiving an MBA from FMS-Delhi as compared to top IIMs?

Pratinav GeraStudied at Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi

After receiving an MBA from FMS Delhi, life became quite simple owing to the following reason

Placements

Excellent placement, and a variety of offers from different fields made it easier for the students. FMS Delhi maintains a stable placement record over years. Students receive lucrative salary packages every year. This year too was no different. The highest salary stood at INR 58 LPA. Students received an average salary of INR 34.2 LPA which increased by 30.5% (approximately) as compared to the previous year. There was an increase of 37% in the top 100 average salaries, 24% in the freshers' average salary.

Why are Delhi School of Economics and other better ROI colleges like JBIMS and many more for an MBA not as popular as FMS?

Arshit JainStudied at Delhi School of Economics

Here are some of the reasons that should be mentioned:

DSE MBA was founded in 1986, whereas FMS was founded in 1954.

An older institute has more alumni to leverage for placements and thus more alumni to build credibility in the institute branding.
Until 2015, DSE offered a "Master" degree in HR/OD and IB, titled Master of Organization Development and Human Resources and Master of International Business. Two things stand out: i) HR/OD and IB are niche areas to enter in comparison to an MBA-Fin and MBA-Marketing. ii) A MHROD/MIB has lower popularity than an MBA.

FMS has significantly more industry exposure than DSE, owing primarily to alumni/family of alumni/friends of alumni.

Quality of Faculty: Though both FMS and DSE are run by DU, what DU lacks in academic-focused faculty is more than made up for in FMS, which has regular mandatory industry guest lecturers.

The higher cut-off in FMS (relative to DSE) year after year ensures (though is not guaranteed) a certain quality benchmark of students coming in, leading to increased competition and peer learning. Something DSE could think about.
