Which B-school is harder to get into when you have a 'mediocre' academic profile and 1 yr of work experience, FMS Delhi or IIM K, L, and I?
Among the above B-schools, FMS will be easier to enter because other IIMs like IIM K, IIM L, and IIM I give more weightage to past academic performance. FMS selection will be based on Personal Interviews, Group Discussions, and CAT scores.
IIM K gives 40% weightage while the initial shortlisting of candidates for Personal Interviews is contrary to IIM L and IIM Indore which gives only 20% weightage. IIM Indore gives no weightage to work experience where IIM K gives only 5% and IIM L gives 10% weightage.
All in all, if you are a mediocre student then you have to outperform others in terms of CAT score and PI/GD performance. Indore is home for freshers and competing here will be difficult but you should focus more on FMS then IIM L and then IIM K for your shortlisting and put your best foot forward and convert your calls.
All the best and Best of luck for your D-day.
I want to pursue my MBA from FMS Delhi. How can I do my specialization in marketing? Do I need to have prior work experience to lap up a high paying marketing job?
Although prior work experience is not necessary to get a job after an MBA, it is desirable to recruiters. If you have work experience, then it will provide you with a little edge over the fresher crowd. If you don’t have then, it is totally fine. Many recruiters prefer fresher over a work experience person.
To do specialization in marketing, you have to complete your college first; then only you will be eligible to take specialization. Institutes do offer a choice to the students to opt for their desirable subjects, but the catch is the institute cannot provide all the subjects to all the students. There must be competition among the students to opt for trendy subjects. To get ahead of others, you must have to score well in your first year.
Does FMS Delhi provide an MBA in the IB stream?
The only degree offered by FMS (Faculty Of Management Studies) is an MBA (Master of Business Administration).
Your degree, or any other official college document, does not and will not include any reference to a specialization. Your Major and Minor, which are both valid for internal processes, are based on the Elective subjects (that you choose in your second year of the course) from the different streams available to you.
At this time, there are no electives that are centered on the IB (International Business), although there are some electives like International Financial Management and International Business Strategy that do not mean you will be offered an MBA IB degree.
Can I get a call from IIM Lucknow as well as FMS Delhi after getting a 99+ percentile in CAT? My academics marks are 74%, 73% and 65% in X, XII and graduate degree in engineering respectively.
Honestly speaking, your chances of getting into IIM Lucknow Calcutta and Kozhikode are scarce unless you score 100 percentile considering your profile. IIM Ahmedabad, Indore and Shillong won’t give you a call even after 100 as their eligibility criteria focuses majorly on past academics which are below average in your case.
IIM Bangalore is unpredictable in its eligibility criteria. It might take students with poor academic backgrounds but good work experience. So if you have none you can forget this chance also.
FMS does not almost consider past academics at all but for that, you need a CAT percentile of more than 99.5. For the safer side a 99.75 might grant you a conversion.
Don’t get demotivated just because of your past academic performance and ruin your future. Rather make the most out of your present life and opportunities.

What would be the highest package secured by a fresher in FMS New Delhi?
Although there is no hard and fast rule that only the most experienced student will get the highest package, having work experience will make your resume more appealing to the prospective employer and there are companies that require work experience for various profiles like consulting and product management.
These profiles pay well so it makes sense that people with relevant work experience are preferred to someone with no work experience. But mind you this is not discriminating against freshers, colleges and companies give equal opportunities to all of their students.
