College Review

3.8Helpful

Admission:

So basically, FMS assigns weightage to your CAT scaled scores for each section. Your CAT scaled score in Verbal Ability (VA) is multiplied by 40/72, in Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation (LRDI) by 30/60, and in Quantitative Ability (QA) by 30/66. Additionally, female candidates receive a bonus of +5 marks. In the final selection criteria, CAT score carries 50% weightage, followed by 15% for the personal interview, 5% for extempore, and 10% for the statement of purpose (SOP). The remaining 20% is allocated for the 10th and 12th scores, with 10 marks each if above 75%, otherwise 5 marks if between 60-75%. Female candidates also receive a 5-mark benefit in the final selection criteria. This constitutes the current selection criteria for FMS.

Admission:

To be eligible for an MBA, you only need a Graduation. I had taken the CAT exam and had applied for FMS separately after the result of the CAT was released. FMS does not take a separate entrance exam but uses CAT scores for assessment. The online form has a section for SOP where we need to write our statement of purpose. For shortlisting for interview, a Composite Score out of 100, giving 40 30 30 weightage to verbal quant and DILR is calculated respectively. While the breakup for final selection keeps changing, last year's breakup was Weightage for X and XII- 10 marks each(10/10 if above 75%, 5/10 if less than 75%)

How does the CV of students who get selected in IIMs(any), ISB, XLRI, FMS, SPJIMR, JBIMS look like?

Aparna Das
Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

This might seem like a shallow statement but when you look at an average student from a top-tier college and an average student from a lower-tier college the difference that you witness would not surprise you if you just look at their CVs. 

It’s not as if they have done something exceptionally great but the CVs of students who get selected in top management schools like top IIMs, ISB, XLRI, FMS, SPJMR, and JBIMS are highly analytical. They know how to quantify their achievements and in the end, that’s all that matters. It’s all just numbers and data. 

Typically, the students have impressive academic records and have been part of numerous non-academic avenues that have helped them in understanding the importance of extra-curriculum activities. 

Some might have told you that most of the students who go to these top colleges have work experience but that is not true. You do not require work experience to get into your dream college. If you’re looking to get into one of these top management colleges and do not have an exceptional profile, just start focusing on your speed and accuracy for the written examination and polish your CV. Highlight the things that have impacted you and that you think would help you in becoming a better manager in the future.

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!

How difficult is it to get into FMS Delhi?

Ankita Garkoti
Komal KatnaStudied at Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi

Getting into FMS Delhi is not easy as it is one of the best B Schools in India with limited seats and excessive competition due to its great ROI. The extremely low fee MBA program of 2 years is coveted by many so you have to earn your seat.

Also, this institute is the best choice for those who have below-average past academic records. This is because past academics carry less weight in the selection process of FMS.

  • Focus primarily on scoring maximum CAT scores 
  • Prepare questions regarding your academic background
  • Clear reasons for your decision to pursue an MBA
  • Go through current affairs
  • Practice your speaking skills

Do you know anyone who got into a top b-school (IIMs, XLRI, JBIMS, NM, IIFT, FMS etc.) with average UG percentage?

Ashish MetkarMBA from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Graduated 2011)

Yes, I do know a friend who managed to get calls from many top B Schools despite having an average Undergraduate Score. Her profile looked like this

  • 10th- 76%
  • 12th- 68%
  • UG- 64%

Although her marks witnessed a gradual decline, she was lucky enough to study at XLRI. Past academics are considered as one but not the major factors at XLRI, unlike IIMs that focus a lot on past academics. A good XAT and GD-PI score can compensate for your poor academic record at XLRI, FMS, and JBIMS. NITIE is a top B School that does not consider past academics at all. My friend with her average profile managed to convert NITIE, XIMB, and all the IIMs except for the top ones obviously. So we can safely assume that admission into these top B Schools is possible even with an average profile provided that you score excellently in the CAT or XAT and the GDPI round.

Can an average student get into FMS Delhi with a high CAT percentile? What will be a safe CAT score for an average student to get into FMS Delhi?

SagardeepLives in New Delhi

Of course, yes. FMS Delhi is everyone's ideal college. The pattern has been changed, and the paper is now worth 228 points. A score of 115 is sufficient to receive a call from FMS. It is the only tier-1 college that places little emphasis on previous academic performance. If you scored a 99.50 or higher on the CAT exam, you will almost certainly receive a call from FMS. To transfer to college, one must be fluent in English.

The FMS process includes group discussions, extempore, and, finally, a personal interview. In addition, they included an SOP in their selection process. You must describe who you are, your accomplishments in the workplace, and your motivation for pursuing an MBA in a statement of purpose (SOP).

Everyone is interested in FMS because of its large batch size and high ROI. To get into FMS, you must score higher than the 99 percentile. Try your hardest to achieve the highest percentile possible while ignoring your academic records. FMS is the best option for you if your academic performance is subpar. Because the college calls candidates 10 times the number of seats, scoring 99.50 percentile guarantees you a call from FMS. There are 251 seats available in FMS. Simply devote yourself entirely to the preparations and concentrate on increasing your percentile. The higher your CAT exam score, the more likely it is that you will convert.

How do I write career goal column while filling FMS Delhi application form?

Sai PrashanthStudied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

You can fill the career goa column with points like these

  1. why are you better than the rest
  2. why did you choose FMS
  3. How is MBA related to achieving your goals

The first question can be answered by mentioning your strengths and weaknesses and how you have qualities and skills that others lack. You can speak about the goal-oriented mindset that has brought you to the interview room.

The answer to the next question can be written after talking to an alumnus of FMS. You can mention things like ROI or the low fees factor, the excellent faculty, and the accreditation with Delhi University. All these reasons made it almost impossible for you to not choose FMS.

The answer to the last question is a bit tricky as one necessarily does not have goals while pursuing MBA. Most people do it because many intellectuals are also doing so. And trust me this is not wrong. All you need is to trust the process and their intellect. One smart way to answer this question is to establish a past belief in how you have known it all along and how you made it. You can write your ultimate goal and also how this is just the starting point.

Some points to consider while writing these answers are

  • Write the answers such that it reflects your true self 
  • Proofread the answers for connotations, interpretations and grammatical errors

Just know that this form is not the basis for shortlisting just a basis for the questions that will be asked to you.

Anyone Preparing please share some Tips

  • Michelle Mascarenhas

    That's great! Honestly, I've been watching some of the Drishti Mock Interviews for the IAS exams and I feel like this is quite similar compared to those. Having a vast knowledge of various fields like current affairs, finance, marketing and even having a liking for economics and business is very important. Sometimes you get random topics for your extempore like favourite food or sometimes you get a few complex topics like marketing techniques for elections. Whatever topic you get, if you don't have information about it, just be honest and tell them you don't know but don't go through too many topics or else the interviewer might get annoyed. If you don't know a topic, tell them as much as you know. Being honest with them is key and be concise with your matter

How does FMS Delhi support students in securing internships and final placements, especially considering the competitive nature of the job market?
  • Ananya Modi

    As per FMC guidelines, FMS provides 100% placements which means that they ensure that every student studying there will get a job from their campus. Plus they also say that the students will get the job of their choice in the field of their interest. The final placements at FMS are a two-step process. I guess it will have two rounds. The lateral Placements program which generally starts in December is an endeavor to adequately compensate students with relevant prior MBA experience.


What scores do I need in interviews, SOP discussion, and extempore? Also, is it likely for the composite score to decrease this time?"

What scores do I need in interviews, SOP discussion, and extempore? Also, is it likely for the composite score to decrease this time?"

My Overall Percentile stands at 99.69%. Here's the breakdown of my scaled scores: Overall - 89.36, VARC - 58.14, DILR - 19.61, QA - 11.61. Additionally, my academic scores are 9/9/8 GEF. My call composite score, based solely on CAT score, is 48.30. However, my selection composite score is 49.15 (CAT - 24.15, Acads - 20, Male candidate - 5).

  • Himanshu

    To calculate the scores you need in interviews, SOP discussion, and extempore, as well as to estimate the likelihood of your composite score decreasing, let's break down the information provided:


    1. **CAT Scores**:

    - Overall CAT Percentile: 99.69%

    - Scaled Scores: VARC - 58.14, DILR - 19.61, QA - 11.61


    2. **Academic Scores**:

    - 10th/12th/Graduation/Post-graduation: 9/9/8 GEF


    3. **Composite Scores**:

    - Call Composite Score (based solely on CAT score): 48.30

    - Selection Composite Score (including CAT score, academic scores, and male candidate factor): 49.15


    Given this information, let's analyze:


    - Your overall CAT percentile is already very high (99.69%), indicating strong performance compared to other candidates.

    - Your scaled scores in DILR and QA are relatively low compared to VARC. You may need to focus on improving your performance in these sections.

    - Your academic scores are quite good, with a 9/9/8 GEF, which should positively contribute to your selection composite score.

    - The selection composite score includes CAT score (24.15), academic scores (20), and male candidate factor (5). Since your CAT score is already high and academic scores are good, further improvement may not be necessary in these areas.


    Considering the above points, to estimate the scores you need in interviews, SOP discussion, and extempore:


    - Interviews, SOP discussion, and extempore are subjective assessments and do not have predefined score targets. However, your strong CAT percentile and academic scores should put you in a favorable position.

    - Focus on presenting yourself confidently, articulating your thoughts clearly, and showcasing your achievements and aspirations effectively during interviews and SOP discussion.

    - For extempore, practice speaking on a variety of topics to improve your communication skills and ability to think on your feet.


    Regarding the likelihood of your composite score decreasing:


    - Your selection composite score (49.15) is already higher than your call composite score (48.30), indicating that additional factors such as academic scores and male candidate factor have positively influenced your overall score.

    - Unless there are significant changes or discrepancies in your application details, it is unlikely for your composite score to decrease.


    Overall, continue to focus on presenting yourself effectively during interviews and discussions, and leverage your strong academic and CAT scores to strengthen your candidacy for selection.
