FMS Delhi Admission 2027 is open for four main programmes. The two year MBA is for graduates, and admission is based on CAT 2026 and the FMS form. The MBA Executive and the MBA Executive (Health Care Administration) are evening programmes for working people with five years of work. They have no entrance test. Your marks, a short written note and three one to one rounds at FMS decide your seat. The Ph.D needs a CAT score of 60 percentile or more, or a UGC NET or JRF result. You also send a research proposal and face an interview. FMS is a faculty of the University of Delhi, so every seat follows the reservation rules of the university. The CAT 2026 exam is on 29 Nov 2026.

FMS Delhi Admission FAQs
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
Why does VARC matter more at FMS?▾
FMS gives VARC 40% of the weighted CAT score, while DILR and QA get 30% each. So a strong VARC score helps you more here. Plan your CAT practice with this in mind.
Do women get extra marks at FMS?▾
Yes, twice. You get 5 extra marks on the weighted CAT score for the shortlist. If you appear for the interview, you get another 5 marks in the final list.
What if my Class 10 marks are below 60%?▾
You get nothing for Class 10 in the final list, but you can still be selected. A strong CAT score and good rounds can make up for it. Do not skip the form because of old marks.
Can I use my CAT 2025 score for the 2027 batch?▾
No. FMS takes only the CAT held just before your batch. For the 2027 batch you need CAT 2026, and without it you are not considered.
Does CAT have negative marking?▾
Yes, for multiple choice questions. A wrong answer there costs you 1 mark. Questions where you type the answer have no negative marking, so try them.
What happens in the statement of purpose discussion?▾
A panel talks to you alone about the statement you wrote in the form. Be ready to explain every line, your goals and your choices. Write the statement honestly, because you will be asked about it.
How should I prepare for the extempore?▾
You get a topic on the spot and speak on it alone. Practise short talks on business and current news, with a clear start and end. It counts for 5%, so stay calm and keep it simple.
My university gives CGPA. What should I do?▾
Write the matching percentage in the form. Also attach the official CGPA to percentage table of your university. Without it, FMS may not accept your marks.
What makes an OBC certificate valid for FMS?▾
Your caste must be on the central OBC list, and you must be non creamy layer. The certificate must be in your name and valid on the interview day and on the admission day. A creamy layer student applies as General.
What should my EWS certificate show?▾
It must show family income below INR 8 Lakhs and no large land or flat. It must be valid on the interview and admission day. Your name and your parents' names must match your school board certificate.
How do I claim a PwD seat?▾
Upload a disability certificate from the competent authority with your photo on it. At least 5% of seats are kept for students with benchmark disabilities. Carry the original to the interview.
Who can apply under the CW category?▾
Widows and wards of armed forces personnel can, in a set order of priority. You need a certificate in the FMS format from an office such as the Kendriya Sainik Board. CW students also get a 5% relaxation in degree marks.
Is there a seat for children of University of Delhi staff?▾
Yes. The MBA has 6 extra seats for wards of teaching staff and 6 for non teaching staff. Upload a ward certificate from the Registrar or your parent's college Principal with the form.
Can a foreign national apply for the FMS MBA?▾
Yes, through the Foreign Students' Registry at fsr.du.ac.in. You need a passed degree, a GMAT score of 650 or the GRE score FMS prints, and English as your medium of study. There are 25 extra seats, 8 for SAARC and 17 for other countries.
Can I get a hostel room during the MBA?▾
Yes, if you are not from Delhi. You can apply for University of Delhi hostels in North Campus, such as Jubilee Hall or the University Hostel for Women. Apply as soon as you join.
Can I get my fee back if I leave?▾
Yes, only if you withdraw by the last date of withdrawal. For the 2026-28 batch it was 31 Aug 2026 for the MBA and 31 Jul 2026 for the executive programmes. After that, no refund is given.
Can I work during the MBA Executive?▾
Yes, it is made for working people. Classes are on weekday evenings and longer on Saturday. You need your employer's No Objection Certificate, so speak to your manager early.
How does FMS count my work years for the executive programmes?▾
Only work after the date you passed your degree counts. FMS counts it up to 1 April of the admission year. So work done during your degree does not add to the five years.
Where do I get the No Objection Certificate format?▾
It is in the appendix of the executive bulletin and in the QR code on its page 10. Ask your employer to print it on letterhead and sign it.
Which campus will I study at in the MBA Executive?▾
FMS decides it. You attend classes at either North Campus or South Campus. You cannot pick the campus yourself, so plan your travel after the letter comes.
Can a B.Pharm holder join the MBA Executive (HCA)?▾
Not with a B.Pharm alone, because it is not on the list. A master's degree in pharmacology with 55% is on the list. You can also look at the regular MBA Executive, which takes any degree.
Does nursing work count for the HCA programme?▾
Yes, if your job was executive or administrative work in a health care body. Clinical work alone may not meet the rule. Ask your employer to write your job title and duties clearly.
Where are the FMS Delhi campuses?▾
The main FMS building is in North Campus of the University of Delhi. FMS also uses South Campus for some executive classes. Your admission email tells you where to report.
How will FMS send me updates?▾
Only by email and on fms.edu. FMS uses no other way to reach you. Use an email ID you check every day, because FMS is not responsible for a wrong address.
What happens if a paper I upload is false?▾
You can be barred from every University of Delhi course for five years. A criminal case can also be filed against you. Upload only true, self attested copies.
Is FMS part of the University of Delhi?▾
Yes. FMS was set up in 1954 under the University of Delhi, and it is one of its faculties. Your admission follows the university's rules.
Can an agent get me a seat at FMS?▾
No. FMS fills seats only through its own process on fms.edu. Anyone who promises a seat for money is cheating you, so report it to admissions@fms.edu.

Yes, if you are not from Delhi. Students of full time FMS programmes can apply for University of Delhi hostels. Apply soon after you join.
How should I prepare for the Ph.D interview?▾
Know your proposal well, including the method and the data you will use. Read the main papers in your area. Be ready to explain why the research question matters.
When do Ph.D classes start?▾
For the 2026 batch, classes started in February 2026. Expect a similar start in February 2027, so plan your move to Delhi.
Can I apply under a reserved category for the Ph.D?▾
Yes. Seats follow University of Delhi reservation rules for SC, ST, OBC, EWS and PwD. Upload a valid certificate in your own name with the form.
Do I need work experience for the Ph.D?▾
No work experience is printed as a rule. A clear proposal and a good test score matter more for the shortlist.
Can I upload the proposal after the form?▾
No. FMS asks for it when you register. Without it you are not called for the interview, so write it before the form opens.

FMS Delhi Admission FAQs
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
Who can join the FMS General Management Programme?▾
It is only for officers of the Indian Armed Forces, serving or retired. The Directorate General of Resettlement picks the officers. If you are a civilian, look at the MBA or the MBA Executive instead.
How do I get nominated for the GMP?▾
Ask about resettlement training through your service channel. The Directorate General of Resettlement makes the list and sends it to FMS. You cannot apply directly at FMS.
How long is the General Management Programme?▾
It is six months long. You study for 24 weeks in four terms, so plan your leave or retirement dates around it.
What do I study in the first term?▾
You study managerial economics, data analysis and decision tools, organisational behaviour, accounting for managers and marketing management. These give you the base for the later terms.
What comes in terms 2 and 3?▾
Term 2 covers HR, operations, management accounting and strategic analysis. Term 3 covers strategic management, corporate finance and consumer behaviour, plus half credit electives such as project management.
Does the GMP cover analytics and AI?▾
Yes. Term 4 has a half credit course on big data, analytics and AI. It also has brand management and international business strategy.
What are half credit courses?▾
They are shorter courses marked with a star in the course list. You take them along with the full courses in terms 2, 3 and 4.
How is the GMP taught?▾
Classes use case studies, class discussions, assignments and joined up exercises. You learn by working on real business problems. Expect regular work outside class hours.
Is the GMP the same as an MBA?▾
No. It covers the main subjects of a full time MBA in four terms, but you get a certificate, not a degree. For an MBA degree, you apply to the MBA or MBA Executive.
Will FMS help me find a job after the GMP?▾
Yes. FMS puts out a GMP placement brochure, and a placement team of officers works with companies. Keep your resume ready from the first term.
Can the GMP give me a seat in the MBA Executive later?▾
No. You would apply on the executive form like anyone else. You then need a degree with 45% and five years of executive work after it.
Is there an entrance test for the GMP?▾
No. There is no test and no open form. Your nomination by the Directorate decides your place.
Who pays for the GMP?▾
The FMS page prints no fee for it. Ask the Directorate General of Resettlement about the cost before you are nominated.
Can my company send its staff to FMS for training?▾
Yes. FMS designs management development programmes for organisations. Your HR team can write to FMS to plan one.
Which organisations have used FMS training?▾
The list includes GAIL, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, RITES, WAPCOS, DRDO, the Department of Posts, Taj Hotels, Dabur and Maruti Suzuki. Ask your HR team if your company has a tie up.
What topics do FMS training programmes cover?▾
Topics include finance for non finance managers, negotiation, leadership, project and contract management, Six Sigma, supply chains and stress management. Each programme is planned for one organisation.
Can I join a management development programme on my own?▾
Usually not. FMS plans these programmes for organisations and their staff. As one person, you can look at the MBA Executive instead.
Do I get a degree from a management development programme?▾
No. These are short training programmes for working staff. Only the MBA, the two executive MBAs and the Ph.D give a degree.
Do GMP officers learn finance?▾
Yes. You study accounting for managers, management accounting and corporate finance. Term 4 adds half credit courses on financial planning and on shares and portfolios.
How do I contact FMS about the GMP?▾
Write to admissions@fms.edu or check the GMP page on fms.edu. For nomination questions, contact the Directorate General of Resettlement.

Admission to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program at FMS Delhi is based on a valid CAT score. Applicants must hold a minimum of a three-year bachelor's degree from any specialization to be eligible. The application form, available on fms.edu, incurs a fee of INR 1000 for general category students and INR 350 for SC/ST/PwD applicants. The admission process includes submitting an online form that requires a Statement of Purpose (SOP).
FMS evaluates candidates through a Composite Score that calculates CAT scaled scores in Verbal Ability (40% weight), Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation (30%), and Quantitative Ability (30%). The final selection criteria assign weightage as follows: CAT score (50%), personal interview (15%), extempore (5%), and SOP (10%). Additionally, marks from Class 10th and 12th are considered, with 10 marks awarded if scores exceed 75%, and 5 marks for scores between 60%-75%.
Female candidates are granted a 5-mark bonus in both assessment stages. Shortlisted candidates are invited for a personal interview, conducted solely at the college premises, and following interviews, selection lists are promptly released. Reservation benefits align with government norms and require submission of original certificates during admission. The program commences with seats being filled by August, concluding the admission process.

FMS Delhi: 32 Answered Questions
How do admissions happen in FMS Delhi in the CW category?
Sai Pillai
Admission chances depend on entrance exam scores, category reservation, state quota, and annual competition levels.
Assessment factors:
Previous Cutoff Trends: Analyze last 3 years' data for your category and branch.
Category Reservation: Cutoffs vary significantly across General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS.
State Quota Benefits: Home state candidates often have 10-20 percentile lower cutoffs.
Branch Popularity: CSE and ECE have higher cutoffs than mechanical or civil.
Counseling Rounds: Later rounds may see reduced cutoffs—participate in all rounds.
Use official predictors and last year's cutoff data. Prepare backup options across different rounds and colleges.
Candidates are shortlisted based on a weighted score. This score is calculated by combining the percentiles from all three sections of the CAT exam (VARC, DILR, and QA) with differential weightage (40% 30% 30% respectively). Additionally, your marks from Class X and XII are considered (10% weightage each), with a bonus for scoring above 75% (10 points) or between 60-74% (5 points).
There's also an encouraging diversity factor: women candidates receive an additional 5 points for shortlisting purposes only. If you make the cut-off for this shortlist, you'll be invited for a Personal Interview (PI) where your performance will be evaluated alongside your weighted CAT score, academic marks, and a discussion on your Statement of Purpose (SOP). The weightage for final selection breaks down as follows: 50% for the weighted CAT score, 10% each for Class X and XII marks, 10% for the SOP discussion, 5% for Extempore and 15% for your performance in the PI.
How one should prepare for getting admission in FMS Delhi?
Mansi Jain
FMS Delhi is one of the Top B-Schools in India, often compared with IIM A, B & C. FMS Delhi has the best RoI, low fees of INR 2 Lakhs, and a batch size of 251 + Supernumerary Seats (for batch 2024-26).
FMS Delhi MBA Admission is based on various criteria such as CAT Scores, Academic Scores, Statement of Purpose, Extempore and Personal Interview. Getting admission to FMS Delhi is not an easy task; it is highly competitive as it's one of the top management institutes in India. Here are some tips on how to prepare for admission:
Prepare for CAT: Admission to FMS Delhi is based on CAT Scores, so you should start preparing for the CAT a year or more before the exam, which gives you enough time to cover the syllabus and practice thoroughly.
Prepare for Extempore and Personal Interview: Apart from CAT scores, FMS Delhi takes Extempore and Personal Interview into consideration. You should prepare for Extempore and PI topics and work on your Communication Skills and Confidence.

Can I get a call from IIM ABC or FMS Delhi with 98 percentile, having 74/94/79 in 10, 12, and graduation commerce background with OBC category?

Due to your below-average 10th score and the fact that you do not have any relevant work experience, you might face some difficulty but there is a possibility that these universities will contact you for an interview; nevertheless, this is not a given. Never give up on your hopes and faith. CAT percentile, academic background, work experience, extracurricular activities, and other variables influence whether IIM ABC or FMS Delhi calls you. Despite a 98 percentile CAT score, elite B-schools may not call.
These institutes weigh diversity and academic diversity in their selection process, so your academic background and OBC status may help you. These institutes' cut-offs may change year to year depending on candidates' CAT scores.
However, with a 98 percentile CAT score, you may receive calls from top B-schools. To improve your chances of selection, focus on your entire profile—academics, work, and extracurriculars. All the best buddy!
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?
Akriti Guptalives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
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.
Are less than 60 btech graduates given admission in FMS Delhi,XLRI.XIM and JBIMS Mumbai?
Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi
FMS Delhi, XLRI, XIMB, and JBIMS are all highly regarded B-schools in India that offer postgraduate management programs. As these programs are PG courses so they require candidates to have a bachelor's degree from a recognized university.
The number of seats and admission criteria for these programs may vary from year to year and depend on factors such as the number of applicants, the performance of the applicants in entrance exams, and the selection process of each institution. Below is a table of batch sizes of all these colleges;
Institution
Program
Approximate Batch Size
FMS Delhi
MBA
200
XLRI
PGDM
360
XIMB
MBA
360
JBIMS Mumbai
MMS
120
Although all these institutes try to keep the batch as diverse as possible still the ratio of B.Tech and non-B.Tech is highly skewed towards B.Tech. So, it is unlikely that less than 60 B.Tech graduates are admitted to these institutions. These institutions typically have a rigorous selection process, and the number of seats available is usually limited.
However, the exact number of B.Tech graduates admitted to these institutions may vary depending on the specific program and admission cycle.

I scored 54% in Class 12. Will I be eligible to pursue MBA in IIM, FMS, TAPMI?
Sanjukta SarkarStudied at PGDM from Indian Institutes of Management (2016)
Yes, with a 54% in class 12th, you are eligible to pursue MBA in IIMs, FMS, and TAPMI. The eligibility criteria are more than 50% in 12th for most MBA exams. However, there are certain weights assigned to the 10th, 12th, and graduation marks in IIMs. Overall, your score should be more than the cutoff of that year. You need to build your profile and get an exceptional percentile in CAT. The same goes for FMS and TAPMI.
Considering my credentials, can I get a call from any of these colleges, IIMs, FMS, XLRI or NMIMS, MICA, TAPMI, or SIBM?
Advait JoshiLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Colleges may call depending on numerous variables. IIMs rarely call candidates without a 95+ percentile. IIMs exclusively accept top academic and overall candidates. Other colleges like FMS, XL, SPJIMR, and MDI assess the candidate's whole profile, giving them a little edge. These institutions consider work experience, extracurriculars, and leadership skills in addition to academic performance.
Even after being accepted to a top college, a candidate's academic performance may affect their placements, which could damage their job chances. The only thing candidates can control is their CAT/XAT score. So they should try their best and then decide.

FMS Delhi goes beyond just leadership titles. They value well-rounded applicants with extracurriculars that demonstrate initiative, problem-solving, and a passion apart from academics. This could be leading a club project, participating in case-study competitions, or even creative interests like marketing, designing or even photography.
