FMS Delhi offers the Management Development Programme as a one-year, full-time course on campus. It is a taught course for working managers and graduates, not a degree. Any graduate can apply and there is no entrance exam. The full fee is INR 59,000, paid once for the whole course. FMS is a University of Delhi department and sits at #7 in Collegedunia's Management ranking 2025. It holds no campus placement for this course, so the pay on this page is the MBA batch figure of INR 30.1 LPA. The 2027 calendar is not out yet, so the dates below are estimates.
The full fee is INR 59,000 for the whole course, and INR 60,000 with the application fee added. The programme fee itself is INR 59,000, paid once. FMS does not publish a hostel or mess fee for this course, so you pay for your own stay in Delhi. The application fee is INR 350 for SC, ST and PwD students. Fees can change, so check the FMS site before you pay.

You need a bachelor's degree in any subject, and nothing more. FMS does not publish a minimum percentage for this course and does not ask for an entrance exam.

| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Degree | A bachelor's degree in any subject |
| Marks | No minimum percentage is published for this course |
| Entrance exam | Not needed for this course |
| Who it is for | Working managers and graduates who want a short taught course |

FMS puts the MDP notice on its own site, and you fill the form there. Shortlisted applicants go to a personal interview, and the Admission Cell decides. You then pay the programme fee and report on campus with your degree papers. If you miss the fee date, the seat goes to the next name on the list.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Watch for the notice | Check the FMS site for the MDP notice and the form |
| 2. Fill the form | Give your degree details, your job and why you want the course |
| 3. Sit the interview | Shortlisted applicants get a personal interview at FMS |
| 4. Pay the fee | Pay the programme fee by the date on the offer letter |
| 5. Report on campus | Bring your degree papers and a photo ID |
There is no cutoff for this course, because FMS takes no entrance exam score for it. Your degree and your form matter most, and the personal interview decides the rest. FMS has not published a marks cutoff, so treat any number you see elsewhere as guesswork. Apply early, because a short list closes fast.
| What FMS reads | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Entrance exam score | None. This course takes no exam score |
| Degree marks | No cutoff percentage is published |
| Application form | Your degree, your job and why you want the course |
| Personal interview | The Admission Cell weighs your answers and your work record |
The FMS MBA batch of 2025 averaged INR 30.1 LPA, and 92% of it was placed. The highest offer that year was INR 1.01 Crore. These numbers belong to the MBA, not to this course. FMS holds no campus placement for MDP students, who already have jobs. What the MDP gives you is the FMS name, its faculty and its alumni base.

|---|---|
| Average pay | INR 30.1 LPA, FMS MBA Class of 2025 |
| Highest offer | INR 1.01 Crore, FMS MBA Class of 2025 |
| Batch placed | 92%, 271 of 294 students |
| Offers made | 273 offers by 72 firms |
| Main recruiters | McKinsey, KPMG, HSBC, Bank of America, Microsoft, Amazon |
| MDP placement | None. The course takes people who already work |
A PwD student pays INR 10 a semester, so the waiver is worth INR 58,980.

| Central post matric scholarship | SC or ST, family income up to INR 2.5 Lakhs a year | INR 59,000 |

Choosing a B-school can be a tricky decision especially when it comes to ROI. I understand that ROI is one of the most important factors when it comes to MBA courses since funding your education with loans come with its own set of challenges. But the institutes that you have mentioned above certainly surpass the challenges since they belong to the tier 1 category.
You might come across articles and blogs stating that FMS or JBIMS do not provide a typical MBA environment but for me, that discussion does not even make sense. What is an MBA environment after all? You spent 2 years of your life at the campus and wish to land a good job. FMS, JBIMS, and IIT Bombay all three have good market reputations, they home the best candidates and charge minimal fees. So, if ROI is even a little bit of a concern for you, go for these colleges without any second thought or regret.
