I choose this institute mainly because of the two reason. Firstly, FMS Delhi has a great active network of more than 6000 to 7000 alumni in the industry. Secondly, the institute has a great return in terms of investment. These are the two factors for which i choose this institute for admission.
The placement process is entirely student-run. The placement team is accountable to the students and makes sure accountability and transparency are maintained. FMS boasts of 100% placements and is one of the best in the country- with offers from firms like Morgan Stanley, Bain, BCG. In the end, everybody gets that handshake, everybody gets that job offer.

Placement of FMS is like the cherry on the top. The quality education is rewarded with great placements as 90% of batch getting annual CTC of 20+ LPA. Good Industrial relations, quality performance of our alums in corporates motivates companies to hire new business leaders from FMS.
The course comprises of 4 semesters, 2 semesters each year. This is unlike IIMs which have 6 trimesters in 2 years or 3 trimesters each year.

The faculty are about 20 in number while the number of full-time MBA students (1st & 2nd year included) is about 500. In addition, there are executive MBA, part-time MBA as well as PhD students. So, the faculty: student ratio is likely to be 1:30 to 1:35. Though there is a relatively smaller number of faculty members, all are top-notch and highly qualified professors holding PhD degrees and the teaching methods are in line with standard practice and sufficient to impart good knowledge of the courses.

The Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) is part of one of the world's most prestigious universities, The University of Delhi. MBA from FMS is a dream that many people have, but only a few achieve. Established in 1954, the institute was incepted with a focus on management education and not just on business management.
Academics: You will quickly realise that there is no room for boredom at FMS; you will always be on your toes, rushing to classes, attending guest lectures, submitting assignments, preparing case studies, and so on. Academics at FMS are more than just whiteboard or PowerPoint presentations in the classroom; they also include field trips, group tasks, individual/group projects, and bunking together to encourage you to think beyond FMS.
Extracurricular Activities: Aside from academics, life at FMS will be surrounded by various student societies that will provide you with exciting events to keep you busy. The B-school basically forces you to participate in competitions and live projects that will allow you to explore the seemingly limitless opportunities available to B-school students.
The routine of the Day: A typical day in the life of an FMS student begins around 8 a.m. when he or she wakes up and prepares to attend class, which begins promptly at 9. Every day, there are four classes for one hour each. The classes are followed once or twice a week by a Guest Lecture by eminent personalities from the industry who provide first-hand experience and great insights into the ever-changing business scenario.
Annual Festivals and Clubs: Aside from academics, the college participates in a variety of co-curricular activities. The various clubs under the purview of cultural society, namely Nethra - the photography club, KALA - the fine arts club, and Agamya - the literary and debate club, hold events throughout the year, allowing students to pursue their hobbies and interests in various fields.
Library: The Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) Library is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and business and management faculty. has amassed a substantial library of over 50,000 books, over 100 journals (including 60 foreign journals), 12 newspapers, and numerous other resources such as theses, student project reports, CDs, various reports, economic survey reports, and so on.
In comparison to the IIMs, FMS retains the advantages of small batch size and a fee structure that is relatively low. The small batch size simplifies placements significantly. With the exception of a few foreign consultancies, most of the top companies that visit the IIMs also visit FMS. Despite all of the university's bureaucracy, etc., there is a well-established alumni network that still ensures that things work out for the current batches.
Because of the small batch size, people are extremely competitive. This was in stark contrast to what you hear about the IIMs. Even though they have competition but they maintain some semblance of sanity due to the large batch. FMS can be difficult to manage at times, both in obvious behaviours and subtle actions by people you study with.
The culture at FMS is influenced by the culture of Delhi. In comparison, IIMs are unquestionably more cosmopolitan. Unless you have prior exposure, adjusting to a new environment can be difficult for people from very different cultures, such as the South or East. Otherwise, you'll have to learn to adjust the hard way. But it's still worth the effort. The people you meet in both locations are of the highest calibre. It is up to you to make the best of the situation.
Even if given the chance, there's no way one would like to trade places with the IIMs.
