For someone who wants to pursue MBA in marketing which is the best option among SIBM-P, XLRI or FMS?

According to a senior of mine, SIBM is a great college and a good option for MBA but still, it is not considered in the same league as XLRI or FMS due to various reasons. Both XLRI and FMS are considered the best marketing campuses of India and have the best faculty in India too. FMS has an edge due to its fee factor which saves students a hefty sum of around 20L for 2 years. This attracts a lot of students here as one can get the best education whilst spending a lot less money than an MBA pursuing students. Its location factor also plays a vital role. It is surrounded by firms and companies which not only ensure great placements but also ensure decent training sessions and internships. XLRI campus is one the best campuses in India and it is said to have a world-class campus. Both FMS and XLRI are prestigious institutes and have built a legacy in all these years. XLRI is the oldest B-school in the country and has the best HR campus as well. If you have some issues financially and would like to invest less in your degree then FMS would be the suitable option whereas if you can and want to spend more on your degree then XLRI is the best without any questions.

Do B schools like FMS and XLRI have campus placements?

Yes, FMS and XLRI do have campus placements like other B-schools. If you are interested in the HR domain then you should select XLRI. Both the institutions FMS and XLRI have similar kinds of placements. The placement report of XLRI is as follows: Particulars XLRI FMS Average salary offered INR 25.08 LPA. INR 31.8 LPA. Highest CTC offered INR 50 LPA. INR 58.8 LPA. Recruiting organizations Amazon, Paytm, BCG, Pricewaterhouse corporation, ITC, Accenture, etc. Amazon, Accenture, Aditya Birla Group, Flipkart, BYJUS, IBM, Tata sky, etc. Recruiting companies and profiles are almost the same in both institutions. But the XLRI offers better campus placements than FMS. XLRI is a bit more expensive college than FMS. The infrastructure of XLRI is much better than FMS.

Why is FMS Delhi lesser known compared to the IIMs and XLRI?

Having friends studying in these institutes. My friends and I can assure you that IIMs and XLRI are popular when compared to FMS Delhi. The reasons may vary from person to person. But there are 2 major reasons that everybody agrees with. Media presence and publicity: If we speak about IIMs, it is well known to almost every person. Credits to older IIMs and the achievements of their alumni. There is a general public perception that your life will be sorted if you enter an IIM. The popularity of IIM as a brand is rightly deserved but its highly difficult for other B-Schools with the same curriculum, placements, and alumni network to get such recognition. Advertisements through media or even through word of mouth help a lot. But FMS rarely advertises which might be one of the reasons it is not that popular. Frame of reference: If you are clearly focused on pursuing an MBA, you will be well informed and will definitely know about FMS. But if you are asking someone who hasnt tried any MBA entrance test and is not a B-School graduate, or doesnt even have friends at a B-School, there are high chances that they might not know about FMS. FMS is one of the best B-Schools in India which you can attend. Lack of public recognition doesnt create a big difference in its path to reach the summit. You can easily choose to study at FMS, which will promise a good enough career.

Are the new IIM's good enough to compete with the older ones? Are they better than XLRI or FMS?

It is not appropriate to make a comparison between FMS or XLRI and new IIMs. Both institutes were established in the same year and earned a huge amount of respect over many years. They offer high-class education along with placements to the students with top-level recruiters every year. They have built a strong academic set and faced many challenges as that of old IIMs to set up their reputation and attractiveness among students. Since FMS and XLRI were established many years before than new IIMs, so they have a strong alumni base that provides an edge for the students. Parameter IIMs XLRI FMS Batch Size 388 358 287 Number Of Recruiters 131 108 102 Top Recruiters BCG, McKinsey, HUL Myntra, Flipkart, Amazon, Microsoft, P & G, Cipla, etc Myntra, Flipkart, Amazon, Microsoft, ITC, Cipla, etc. Highest Package 50 LPA 50 LPA 58.8 LPA Both institutes have earned name and fame over years and ranked among the top five B-Schools in India. Also for many years, they are producing high-class entrepreneurs or business management students with their recruitment in world-class multi-national companies.

What are the chances of a fresher to get selected in FMS, XLRI, MDI with less than 60% in 12th?

There are a few scenarios you can consider when it comes to figuring out whether any of these colleges will accept you. As far as FMS is concerned, it does not give any weightage to your profile or even any work experience. Therefore, if you are planning to apply here, you will need to have at least a 99.5 percentile in CAT. Most importantly, you should be good at extempore and your personal interview should go well too. When it comes to MDI, it emphasizes on CAT score but with at least a 99 percentile. You will also have to ensure that you have a good GD and a personal interview. All this combined together will probably ensure that you can crack getting admitted there. Additionally, if you have participated in any fests or won any competitions during your graduation, there are chances that your application will be considered. However, if that is not the case, it will be quite tough to get in. A lot of other mediocre B-schools are also interested in extra-curricular activities and a well-balanced profile is the one that gets selected. However, if you did not do many extra-curricular activities, it could get quite difficult to crack most B school interviews.

Remarks :

I have completed my MBA programme from FMS Delhi. It was one of the best days of my life. Earlier, I opted to study here is because of its good aspects which were told my seniors which are the 100 % job opportunities, academic rigour greater than IIMs, experiential learning, teaching learning experience, international collaborations, partnerships, Rankings, great exposure to industrial activities, one to one discussions, etc. The only bad aspect is that the limited infrastructure and no availability of hostels. Admission for the MBA programme is done considering various factors such as CAT scores, followed by group discussions, extempore, personal interview, work experience, and academic experience.
