I'm an average student I got 88 and 73 in 10th and 12th class Will I get admission in FMS Delhi?

According to the new selection criteria for 2021, you will lose 10 out of 20 marks for your previous academic performance. In the initial selection phase, FMS Delhi does not consider a candidate's academic background; however, 20% of the final selection criteria are based on academic performance. 

Obtaining a 99+ percentile may guarantee a call, but the call will be wasted if you cannot convert it. Even if you performed exceptionally well in the interview, the likelihood of conversion is low. You must compensate for any academic points you may lose by achieving a high CAT score.

Considering global value and ROI, is ISB Hyderabad a better B school than FMS Delhi?

AA
Aishwarya Anand Posted On : January 10th, 2023

ISB and FMS are the premier business schools in India, with distinct USPs.

Global Value:

In terms of global value, ISB, Hyderabad is far ahead of its Indian counterparts. On a global scale, even IIMs struggle to compete with ISB. When it comes to global values, ISB is far ahead of FMS. It is ranked as India's top management college for a 1-year MBA in QS Rankings and the 7th best management college in the world in the Forbes list. FMS, New Delhi, lacks international exposure.

ROI:

FMS has no competition in the world in terms of ROI. ISB charges around Rs 35 lakhs for a one-year MBA, whereas FMS charges around Rs 2 lakhs for a fully residential two-year MBA program. Furthermore, the average CTC of both schools is nearly identical. FMS wins this race by a long shot.

How much education loan can I get for FMS Delhi?

SJ
Sidhharth Jain Posted On : May 26th, 2023
Studied at FMS

You can obtain the loan quantity that you genuinely require.

You will require about Rs. 200,000 for course fees, Rs. 300,000 for lodging and food for two years, Rs. 75,000 for a laptop, and an additional Rs. 125,000 for other costs. You may be approved for a 700,000 rupee study/education loan, but you are to only take out what is necessary. For the portion of the loan that was not used, interest is not due.

The bank will send the money for course fees and other college expenses/fees online to the college, while the money for personal needs will be credited to your savings account at that specific bank.

What is a better option between IIM Ahmedabad and FMS Delhi given that I have no financial help from my parents?

PS
Prakhar Sahu Posted On : December 13th, 2022
MBA in Management, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (Graduated 2017)

Financially speaking, FMS Delhi is a better option. The fees are extremely low compared to most other B Schools. The low fees do not compromise the quality of education here. But the accommodation and other expenses are high in Delhi. So the best option is to get a hostel in DU. But if you are okay with below-average rooms then rooms are available near FMS in the Malka Ganj area. They cost around INR 4000-7000.

If you go for IIM Ahmedabad, the scholarships and student loans will help you a lot. They will cover your tuition and hostel fees and will have to just pay your personal expenses (10k-15k in PG). One won’t regret investing in IIM Ahmedabad in the long run. But the ultimate choice is yours.

VV
Virendar Verma Posted On : March 6th, 2023
Former MBA Participant at S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) (2016–2018)

IIFT was established in 1963 by the Government of India as an autonomous organization to professionalize the country’s foreign trade management and increase exports by developing human resources, analyzing and disseminating data, and conducting research. Among the top 10 business schools, it is the only B-school in India that offers an International Business program. This institute is also known as the Mecca for trade.

The major pros and cons of the institute have been entailed below

Pros 

  • It is one of the best B-Schools in the country and one of the finest in Asia if you want to pursue a career in Trade. As per NIRF Ranking 2018, the Institute has been ranked as number 23.
  • Highly recognized organizations like WTO, OECD, World Trade Centre & European Union come to India for recruitment and visit only IIFT.
  • The batch size is very small thereby rendering unlimited opportunities to its students. It is literally the Mecca for Finance.
  • IIFT Delhi has been winning the CFA Equity Research challenge nationally for 2 out of the last 3 years.

  • IIFT Delhi campus is very small, around 6.5 acres. Rooms are triple occupancy in the 1st year and double in the 2nd.
  • Big names in consulting like McKinsey, BCG, and AT Kearney, are yet to visit the IIFT Delhi campus.

What would happen if FMS and XLRI become IIM Delhi and IIM Jamshedpur respectively?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : May 18th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

It seems almost impossible to happen. Although FMS is a reputed institute, it has yet to have the desired campus life. When a student dream of an MBA, a good campus life always remains inside their brain, and FMS does not fulfill that. 

If we talk about XLRI Jamshedpur, there is already an IIM in the state of Jharkhand, IIM Ranchi. It is not possible to have 2 IIMs in one state, plus XLRI has a different brand image. Many people consider this institute better than any IIM, whether the IIMs are ABC, and it is a private institute as well, so the chances are close to impossible for these institutes to become IIMs. And if any, how they become IIMs, so I think FMS won't change much, but XLRI will have to follow government guidelines then.

I have a low profile, 72% in 10th, 68% in 12th, and 99.98 percentile in the CAT. Will I get admitted to FMS Delhi even if I get an admission? Will any big company select me as I am a fresher?

You must compensate for any academic points you may lose by achieving a high CAT score.

And admission to FMS is possible with these academic credentials. Perform some calculations prior to the CAT exam to determine how many points are required for conversion. 135–140 marks will yield an approximate total score of 30 based on 50 percent of the final selection's weightage. With average performance in the interview and extemporaneous speech, the likelihood of acceptance to the institution is high. Attempt to achieve the highest possible marks in the CAT exam.
