FMS Delhi Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

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.

One of the most cited B Schools in India, the Faculty of Management Studies focuses more on management education and not just on business management. The pedagogy comprises fieldwork, case studies, and feedback with a strong emphasis on concepts and theory.

According to IIFT 2022, its national rank is 4th. I will try to give an unbiased review based on the following aspects 

Placements

FMS Delhi maintains a stable placement record of almost 100% over the years. Students receive high salary packages every year. The highest salary this year stood at INR 58 LPA whereas the average salary stood at INR 34.2 LPA which increased by 30.5% as compared to the previous year. Some major firms that visited the campus for recruitment are Boston Consulting Group, Nykaa, Paytm, Adobe, Adani Group, and BYJU.

Infrastructure 

Although FMS offers no special hostel facilities, the DU hostels are also a choice. Around 20% of the batch go for hostels test search for PGs or flats near the campus itself. The students can avail of playground and sports facilities at Delhi University.

Faculty 

The faculty is top-notch and very experienced. The teaching is not restricted to classrooms and assignments rather the faculty adopts a case-based approach. Various live projects are conducted every year. Top management executives visit the campus and hold guest lectures to provide maximum exposure to its students. Other assignments and field projects have tight deadlines and aid in the proper evaluation of the students.

So overall I think FMS is really a good choice for someone who wants to learn from the best at minimal expenses.
