The good, the bad, the untold about FMS

The curriculum is less rigorous as compared to the top IIMs as there are only two semesters in a year in FMS. But the course prepares you just as well! Teachers discuss a lot of case studies in classes to prepare you for the real world. As the institute has a lower batch strength, it significantly improved the student teacher ratio. The professors here are very approachable and supportive.

The fee of the institute has increased a lot in the past few years but it still is nowhere near the IIMs. The fee here is around 50k per semester making it around 2lakhs for the entire course. Apart from the college fee, being a student run campus one also has to pay 1lakh to the student association (MSA) in two installments, i.e. 50k per year. There are a few scholarships available but the amount is very small but you can easily avail loans at very low interest rates. FMS provides great summer internship opportunities. The average stipend for summer placements is around 1.5 lakh per month. This place has the best ROI with great final placements and lowest fees among all the MBA colleges in India!

FMS is a student run campus therefore most of the events are organized by its student body- MSA. It hosts various events for every festival and the annual fest- Fiesta. There are various other small events hosted in the campus to make your two years at FMS memorable! The only con is you don't get to live the campus life but it still is a good trade off as you don't have to pay a hefty fee of Rs 25 lakhs to get your MBA from a renowned institute.

There is a separate admission form available for admission in FMS where you need to write you SOP(statement of purpose). After filling the form a list is released for the shortlisted candidates along with their interview slots. The total scores for the admission process gives weightage to your interview performance, CAT scores, 10th, 12th and you get extra 5 points if you are a female candidate. The process is quite simple and after all the interviews are over, 1st list is released within 2-3 days.
