Placements at FMS Delhi are very good, we get an average package of 40 lakhs/ year and the highest package goes up to 60 lakhs/ year. I have always been a consulting enthusiast and enjoyed solving consulting cases, I have been placed with my dream company, the Boston Consulting Group. The opportunities are great here, we just need to grab one.
The campus placements are there in 2 stages 1. Summer internship avg stipend is 1.5 lakh per annum and 2. Final placements - avg package 34 lakh per annum. This is one of the best ROI any b school has to offer.
We are FMS are really happy as 32 LPA was the average final placement of last year. We are on par with top IIMs but our course is 12 times cheaper. Everyone gets placements. My plans are to have a nice job, then a nicer job, and then an even nicer one in my field, and also with high packages.
There are two placement seasons: summer and Finals. Summers take place in the initial 3 months of the FMS MBA and Finals happen in the 3rd and the 4th semester. The avg. placement at FMS Delhi stood at 32.4 LPA as of 2022. The campus recorded 100% placements last year.
The summer placement report states we had an average stipend of Rs 3 lakh for 2 months in the year 2022 which was an increase of 13% from the previous year. Companies like Wipro, Asian Paints, Capgemini, Adani, JSW, Tata Steel, etc visited our campus. Highest final placement was Rs65 lakh per annum in the year 2022.
Placements are astounding at FMS. The preparation is extensive and hence bears the desired fruit. 100% placements, with an average above 32lacs per annum, is the current figure. I wish to work in Consulting.
My undergrad experiences made me realize, I wanted to do an MBA, hence, I chose this course. The student-faculty ratio is one of the best in the country, with faculties having a diverse range of experience. The faculties are excellent.
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.
