What are the job and career prospects of an FMS Delhi student after 5 years on a job, compared to an IIM student?
Job and career prospects are relative terms, which depend a lot on any individual. Both IIMs and FMS is reputed college for MBA but FMS is comparable to top IIMs, the new IIMs are not that par with the FMS. The placement of FMS is quite high and matches that of BLACKI( Top 6 IIMs). If I compare top IIMs with FMS, I would say IIMs have a better name than FMS, so growing up the ladder in your career is more when you pass from a top IIM. As the alumni base of an IIM is more than that of an FMS. So according to me 5 years down the line, a top IIM guy will be in a better position.
What are the chances of a fresher to get selected in FMS, XLRI, MDI with less than 60% in 12th?
It will be difficult to get into colleges such as FMS, XLRI, and MDI with less than 60% in 12th. But it’s achievable. FMS assigns 10% weight to 10+2 scores. So, if you manage to score around the 99.5 percentile in CAT, you will have a chance of getting shortlisted. You need to perform well in the GD-PI round as well. XLRI and MDI assign 15% weight to past academics and work experience.
So, try to work on your profile by adding extra-curricular activities. Also, prepare well for entrance tests and the GD-PI round.
How would you rank the following business schools, ISB, IIM A, B, C, L, XLRI, FMS, and SPJIMR?
All the aforementioned colleges are among the best B Schools in India so the choice between them depends on your preference and future prospects. You need to determine what exactly you want from the program and where your career currently is.
In general, ISB is for people who have better industry experience, good leadership skills and decent academics. The other B Schools focus more on excellent academics throughout your career.
The ranking of these institutes in my opinion is ISB, IIM-A, B, C>IIM-L, FMS, XLRI,>SPJIMR
The above preference order is based on a number of factors like career progression, college market value perception, quality of faculty, quality of students, academic learning, quality of recruiters and infrastructure.
What score of the CAT is required to get a call from FMS Delhi for an EWS candidate
FMS Delhi may have a lower CAT score cutoff for applicants who fall under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category than it does for applicants who fall under the general category. FMS Delhi does not, however, make the precise cutoff for EWS candidates available to the public.

However, it's crucial to remember that FMS Delhi also considers the candidate's academic background, professional experience, and performance while making a shortlist of candidates. In addition to the CAT score, these factors are taken into account during the selection process.
How can I improve my CV/RESUME for FMS Delhi?
Improving your CV is important when you join a B-school because candidates are not shortlisted based on their CVs.
A basic approach to upgrading your CV would be to add points to portray a balanced profile (academic, work experience, extracurricular activities, competitions, certifications, etc.) or to be remarkable in a specific field.
Extracurricular activities, academic honors, prizes, scholarships, and career objectives were all requested on the application forms for FMS Delhi. During your PI round, you should expect a handful of questions from these areas, though the topic could be anything, including current events and your graduating course. So you must be up to date on current events and be prepared to speak for a few minutes on yourself or any random topic.
What are my chances to get into FMS Delhi or older IIMs? I have 94% in 10th and 78% in 12th in the Maharashtra board.
Your chances to get into FMS Delhi and any other older IIMs depend upon three criteria.
- First is how your CAT exam went. If you are in a general category, then you have to score at least 98 percentile in the CAT exam to get a call from these institutes.
- Second is how well you gave the interview. An interview is a make-or-break thing to enter into these institutes. If you give a good interview, then the interviewer will consider you even if you are lagging behind in a few aspects.
- Third, is the student profile, like your 10th, 12th, undergraduate percentage, and work experience.
The major contributor to your admission would be the first two factors. Your profile does not make such a difference when you excel in the first two. You could get into one of these prestigious institutes if you work hard enough.
