How one should prepare for getting admission in FMS Delhi?
FMS Delhi is one of the Top B-Schools in India, often compared with IIM A, B & C. FMS Delhi has the best RoI, low fees of INR 2 Lakhs, and a batch size of 251 + Supernumerary Seats (for batch 2024-26).

Prepare for CAT: Admission to FMS Delhi is based on CAT Scores, so you should start preparing for the CAT a year or more before the exam, which gives you enough time to cover the syllabus and practice thoroughly.

Stay Updated: Keep yourself updated with what's happening in the world, like in business, economy, and politics. As it is important for Extempore and PI rounds.

What if I get into a low ranked DU college?
Getting admission to DU is a big deal. You should not feel apathetic and discouraged even if you do not get a top-ranked college. Every college of DU has an equal value when you get the degree. The faculties are cooperative and supportive. They are always ready to help the students.
The only major differences are the infrastructure and the surrounding. Simplicity and Uniformity are observed in everyone studying or teaching at DU. Being one among the 2.5k applicants to be accepted into a DU college is something to be proud of. Be content with what you currently have, explore opportunities, and ask your seniors for assistance if necessary.
"Getting into a good college" is an exaggerated and superficial concept and sincere courtesy goes to the media. Every DU college follows the same teaching standards.
It is a fact that everything happens for a reason. On Facebook, there was a post titled "Humans of SRCC" in which a few students expressed their thoughts and issues they had encountered at the college. They claim that they do not fit in at SRCC's fast-paced environment and that they feel isolated at times.
So, rather than regretting or overthinking what fate has in store for them, one should always accept it with grace and satisfaction.
My percentile is 94.39 in the JEE. Can I get a seat in NIT Trichy?
No, with your percentile it will be difficult to get a seat at NIT Trichy. If you are a General or OBC category student then it will be very hard to get admitted at NIT Trichy. You will have a chance to get admitted at NIT Trichy only if you are an SC/ST student or you have a Tamil Nadu domicile certificate. But keep in mind that you may not get the seat of your preferred department. NIT Trichy is in high demand so only the top percentile students get the chance to get placed. But do not worry there are other NITs where you will be able to secure a seat. You can also prepare for JEE Advanced and get a seat at the IITs.
What are some tips for a personal interview at Christ University, Bangalore?
It depends on whether you will be pursuing an undergraduate course or postgraduate degree. If you are aiming to pursue an undergraduate degree, then you will be asked questions based on your knowledge of classes 11th and 12th. For postgraduate students, you will be asked questions from your graduation course. Be thorough with the basics as the interviewers want to test your knowledge of the subject. The questions are not very tricky and if you have an understanding of the subject, then you will be able to answer the question easily. Also, you will be tested on your communication skills and how well you can convey the answers to the interviewer. Do not lose your confidence, if you are not able to answer a few questions then let the interviewer know and they will ask you different questions. Do not be nervous as the interviewers are very friendly.
How does the CV of students who get selected in IIMs(any), ISB, XLRI, FMS, SPJIMR, JBIMS look like?
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.
Is getting into IIM Ahmedabad possible for an average student?
If you are already convinced that an average student cannot make it into IIM Ahmedabad, then you won’t be giving your best. Remember it's your mindset that determines your chances of admission.
I will narrate an anecdote of a friend who took the CAT, a few months ago. He had done a B.E. in electronics and comm. from a top local institute in Bengaluru and worked for 10 months in an IT role. He received a list of colleges he should target from his coaching based on his scores and overall profile.
Nevertheless, he wanted to get into IIM Ahmedabad. He had no one to guide him and his list did not have a single IIM. It seemed almost impossible but he did not give up.
Ultimately, he made it into IIM Ahmedabad and all his friends were shocked. They couldn’t believe someone with an average profile like him.
Should I Leave IIM Ahmedabad admission offer for RBI Grade B?
Let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of these options before choosing one of them.
RBI Grade B -
- RBI comes only after UPSE. Considering the political pressure of UPSE, RBI can be the best job in India.
- The salary package is similar to the median CTC offered at IIMA.
- RBI has great job security, irrespective of the ruling party. Govt. policies like privatization won’t affect RBI.
- Posting will be always in the state capital.
- RBI jobs have a great work-life balance.
IIMA -
- Batch size of IIMA is over 400. You will have to do exceptionally well to stand out from the crowd and bag offers from top investment banks and consulting firms.
- The course fee for the PGP is INR 23 lakhs. This can be burdensome for some students. Even if you get an INR 25 LPA CTC, after paying education loans, tax, EMI, etc, you will have around INR 1 lakh in hand.
- Many quit investment banking jobs or consulting jobs after a few years due to huge job pressure.
- The Covid-19 recession caused many recruiters to withdraw their offer even for IIM A,B,C. There are a number of things that can affect final placements.
Factor in all these points to make the decision that’s best for you.
