About FMS Delhi MDP

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.

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.

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.

Collegedunia puts FMS Delhi at #7 of 372 management colleges in 2025. Outlook India placed it #12 in the same year, and IIRF put it #2 among B-schools in 2024. FMS does not send data to NIRF, so it carries no NIRF rank. These lists rank the whole faculty, not this one course.

Should you pick the MDP at FMS Delhi?

This course suits working managers and graduates who want the FMS name and a short taught course, not a degree.

Pick it if:
You want the FMS name on a short course: the same faculty that teaches the MBA takes these classes, on the North Campus in Kamla Nagar.
You work in a public sector firm: FMS has trained managers from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, GAIL, Taj Hotels, Maruti Suzuki and Dabur.
You cannot leave your job for two years: this course takes one year, asks for no entrance exam, and you can apply straight from work.
You want a government fee, not a corporate one: the whole course costs INR 59,000 and FMS is a University of Delhi department.
Skip it if:
You want a campus job at the end: FMS holds no placement for this course, and the pay on this page belongs to its MBA batch.
You want a degree and an alumni batch: this is a taught course, so it does not give you the MBA degree or a seat in that alumni batch.
You need the dates now: FMS has not put out the 2027 MDP calendar, so you cannot plan leave from work yet.
You need a hostel room: FMS publishes no hostel or mess fee for this course, so you pay for your own stay in Delhi.
Counsellor's advice
If you already have a job and want the FMS name without leaving it, take this course. If you want a degree, a placement and an alumni batch, put the MBA above it.
MDP Eligibility
Degree needed: A bachelor's degree in any subject from a recognised university.
Marks needed: FMS publishes no minimum percentage for this course.
Entrance exam: None. This course does not ask for a CAT score.
Work record: FMS builds these programmes for working managers, so your job record helps.
Age limit: There is no upper age limit.
MDP Admission Process
Watch for the notice: FMS puts the MDP notice and the form on its own site.
Fill the form: Give your degree details, your job and why you want the course.
Sit the interview: FMS calls shortlisted applicants for a personal interview.

Will you get a seat in the MDP at FMS Delhi?

Pick what fits you today. This course has no entrance exam, so the form and the interview decide the seat.

Where you stand today
Graduate, working
Yes, you fit. A degree plus a job is exactly what FMS builds this course for. Fill the form as soon as the notice comes.
Graduate, no job yet
Almost there. A degree gets you the form, but the interview leans on your work record. Say what you do and why you want the course.
Final year student
Almost there. You can fill the form, but keep your degree result ready. FMS asks for the papers before you join.
No degree yet
Not yet. This course needs a finished bachelor's degree in any subject. Finish the degree first, then apply.
EDITOR'S NOTE

FMS has not put out an MDP cutoff or a seat count, so no page can tell you your exact chance. The form and the interview decide it, and both reward a clear work record.

In short
The MDP at Department of Management Studies, IIT Delhi costs more than this one for the same one year. If the IIT name matters more than the fee, pay the difference; if not, FMS Delhi is the cheaper seat.
In short
Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi is the stronger name for trade and export work. If your job is in exports or international business, take it; otherwise FMS Delhi costs much less in the same city.
In short
Management Development Institute, Gurgaon has the costliest programme here by a wide margin. If your employer pays and you want a residential year in Gurugram, take it; if you pay yourself, FMS Delhi is the cheaper route.
In short
International Management Institute, New Delhi does not publish a fee for its short programmes. If you want a fee you can read before you apply, FMS Delhi prints its own.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FMS Delhi: 1 Answered Question

What is the difference if I choose FMS (Delhi), JBIMS (Mumbai) or SJSOM-IIT Bombay over IIM-B, SPJIMR and other such institutes that charge hefty for MBA courses?

Aastha Shrimali
Advait JoshiLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

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.
