FMS Delhi Alumni

There is no fixed CAT percentile to get admission to the MBA programme offered at the Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi . The institute assigns different weightages to the scores of different sections of the CAT for the purpose of shortlisting candidates for the Interview process and for the final selection to encourage diversity across various disciplines.

A weighted score is computed by FMS Delhi giving weightages of 40%, 30%, and 30% to the scores of VARC, DILR and QA sections respectively. An additional 5 marks shall be added to the weighted score in case of women candidates for the purpose PI shortlist. Following criteria is used for the final selection:

• Weighted CAT score: 50%
• Marks obtained in Class 10: 10% (60% and above but less than 75%: 5%, and 75% and above: 10%)
• Marks obtained in Class 12: 10% (60% and above but less than 75%: 5%, and 75% and above: 10%)
• Discussion on Statement of Purpose: 10%
• Extempore: 5%
• Personal Interview: 15%

Additional 5 marks for women candidates who appear for the PI.

Even a 99 percentile in the CAT will not give you a guarantee to get a shortlist for the GDPI process. But, if you belong to the reserved category, then you might get an Interview call at a lower percentile. Your final selection to FMS Delhi will depend upon a number of factors apart from your performance in the CAT.

Your Class 10, Class 12 and Graduation percentage does not help you directly to get admission to any business school. Only some weightage is given to them while selecting candidates for further admission process or final selection. To get admission in any of the top college you must appear for the management aptitude test and must perform well during WATPI/ GDPI process.

Institute of Management Studies, Banaras Hindu University (IMS BHU) formerly known as Faculty of Management Studies BHU offers MBA and MBA in International Business programmes. Admissions to these programmes are made on the basis of combined merit of candidates in the CAT , academic records, and Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

FMS BHU does not specifically mention the percentile required to get an Interview call as the cutoffs may vary every year depending upon a number of factors for candidates from different categories.

Admissions are strictly based on merit. The institute also has a provision of the admission under Paid Seat Scheme . Admission under this scheme will be made from the same merit list after concluding the regular seat admissions from the remaining candidates in the merit list. Candidates are required to appear for the CAT and must appear in GDPI process.

Therefore, as you have obtained 75.51 percentile in the CAT and you belong to the OBC category, then you might get an Interview call but it will depend upon a number of factors.

Hello,

Admission in FMS Delhi through CAT 2024 requires high percentiles of scoring, which is always highly competitive since this is considered to be one of the most premier institutions in India. Traditionally, people have got admission in FMS Delhi with even above 99+ percentiles as the call was given to the next round even in the case of the general category.

For specific categories:

• General: High of around 99.5 percentile or more
• OBC/NC: Ranges between 90-95 percentile.
• SC/ST/PwD: Percentile is much lower but competitive, ranging from 80 to 90 percentile.

The scores of CAT have the most weightage in the selection process of FMS. In the present scenario, during the last couple of years, about 60 percent weightage was given to the scores of CAT, while the remaining was provided to other factors, like personal interview, academic performance, and diversity criteria.

Points to Remember

Since VARC is heavily scored, high scoring in it could be crucial. So also, a high score in VARC could be more important since FMS usually focuses on that particular section.
