Remarks :
DMS IIT Delhi is one of the prestigious colleges for MBA. It is constantly ranked top 10 as per NIRF ranking for Management colleges and ranked 1 for Research, AAA+ ranking as per TIME Institute, 5th in QS ranking. Moreover, the location of Delhi attracts a lot of corporate for placements. DMS is better than most of the new IIMs in terms of educational excellence, placements, location, opportunities and quality of faculties. Although, since it is part of IIT D most of the activities are controlled by central IIT D Administration, thus slowing down the process. Semester system affects major International collabs. It also lacks IIM tag and fame among commoners. Admission form opens a day after CAT results. CAT Scores, academic background & record, gender, form SI Score with is the criteria for shortlisting and WAT, PI along with SI Scores decides final selection at DMS. Global Field Study program, wherein all students visit the International Institute adds to diversified learning of students.

However, evaluation happens throughout the semester through class participation, term papers and case studies.

Since we haven't visited DMS due to COVID hence I can't really comment on amenities in classrooms etc. However, e-library, access to journals and datasets were provided to all students for better learning.
Hostel Facilities :
Since batch 2020-22 haven't visited the college and hostel yet, hence I can't really comment on the hostel conditions. IIT Delhi has 11 boy's hostel and 2 girl's hostel in the campus. Every hostel has its own mess. There are many canteens, coffee shops, juice shops to rejoice the taste buds of students.
Interview Experience :
Although for 2020 admission there was no GD/PI conducted, however, I have attended DMS's admission rounds before the lockdown was declared due to COVID. My place of the interview was IIT Madras, Chennai. We were given the topic "What investors should look upon before investing in a startup" for WAT. The interview lasted for around 30 min. The panel of 2 senior professors took my interview. Basic questions on concepts of Mechanical Engineering (my graduation) were asked, followed by HR questions like long term goals, expectations from MBA etc. Most of the questions revolved around SOP that we will during registration. Few Guesstimate questions were also asked during the interview. I was enrolled with TIME Coaching for GD/PI preparations. They have conducted mock GDs, GEs, PIs, WATs etc for preparation. Reading newspapers, current affairs and articles on burning topics will surely help for preparations of GDs and WAT. Confidence is the key for PI.
