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.

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.
