Should you pick MBA at FMS Delhi?
This course suits students seeking management roles with a low academic fee.
Pick it if:
You want consulting roles: Bain, BCG and McKinsey recruit here, and consulting with general management takes the largest sector share.
You want alumni contact: FMS offers Buddy Connect and city meets, giving you ways to speak with graduates about their work.
You need a smaller loan: the academic and association total is INR 3.47 Lakhs against average pay of INR 32.27 LPA.
Skip it if:
You expect the highest package: the INR 1.10 Crore PA offer sits far above the INR 29.59 LPA median for this batch.
You need a guaranteed room: university hostel admission is separate, so an FMS offer alone does not settle where you will live.
You plan to apply through CAT alone: FMS needs its own form, and missing that step leaves you outside its selection process.
Counsellor's advice
If FMS offers you a seat, check your complete fee and housing plan before paying. Prepare for the interview as carefully as the exam.

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?
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.
