Studying at FORE School of Management means being right in the heart of Qutub Institutional Area, New Delhi. The campus is not huge, but it’s well-maintained and strategically located—close to important business hubs and easily accessible by public transport. Classrooms are equipped with modern technology, and there’s decent Wi-Fi coverage throughout. The library, though not massive, is well-stocked with both physical and digital resources, which has been helpful for research work and assignments
The curriculum at FORE strikes a balance between core management courses (Marketing, Finance, Operations, HR) and emerging domains like Business Analytics and Digital Marketing. In my program, the first year emphasized fundamentals, while the second year allowed me to choose electives based on my interests. The faculty generally mix theory with real-life case studies, which keeps the coursework relevant to current industry standards. Some faculty members have significant industry experience, and their insights help connect classroom discussions to practical business problems.
FORE has a fairly robust placement track record. Companies visiting campus span sectors such as Consulting, IT, BFSI, FMCG, and E-commerce. During my placement season, firms offered roles ranging from marketing and sales to operations, business analytics, and finance. The average package is competitive for a mid-sized B-school, and a few students manage to land higher-end offers, especially in niche profiles. The placement cell organizes mock GDs, interviews, and workshops, which I found helpful. Nonetheless, personal effort—like networking and upskilling—makes a huge difference in landing the best offers.
Fees at FORE align with other private B-schools in Delhi NCR, which some may find on the higher side. However, in my experience, the return on investment is decent if you fully leverage the placement support, networking, and the robust curriculum. Scholarships are available for meritorious students, which can be a relief for those concerned about finances. Overall, while the cost is not trivial, the placement outcomes and academic rigor make the expense more justifiable.
Despite its relatively smaller campus, FORE has an active student community. Various clubs and committees focus on marketing, finance, HR, quizzing, cultural activities, and more. These clubs frequently conduct fests, workshops, and competitions, providing opportunities to test our managerial and leadership skills. The campus atmosphere is fairly vibrant—there’s almost always an event or activity happening. Being in Delhi also means plenty of off-campus hangouts and access to city-wide corporate seminars
Pros: Good placement record across diverse sectors Engaging faculty who emphasize practical learning Active clubs and committees for holistic development Location advantage in Delhi, close to major corporates Cons: Limited campus area—some might miss a large, sprawling environment Could use more live projects or corporate tie-ups for hands-on exposure Fees can feel steep without scholarships
Infra overall is pretty decent. Could be better tho, campus is kaafi small. I like the vibe of campus, there is also sajay vann outiside so good spot to chill. Also, quite close to hauz khas metro station.
Big Data Analytics course in Fore is quite good. they changed the course a lot this year so it's not exactly like a general mba keep that in mind. If you like analytics then only opt for this course else dont.
I have been through SIP process so i will share that experience. My second specialisation i am planning to take marketing or hr so companies in those fields are coming on campus. stipend is decent but not amazing.
FORE has a pretty good setup, the classrooms are tech-friendly with TVs and smartboards, the library is packed with resources, and the labs have all sotwares. The campus is small but neat and has everything you need.
The academics is pretty good. The curriculum is relevant, especially for Big Data Analytics. Professors are good in thier fields and really encourage practical learning. A great blend of theory and hands-on experience
Many companies from diverse industries visit for recruitment. The placement cell is active, providing great support with mock interviews and resume building. It's a strong network to tap into. Also a lot of live projects are offered from companies.
The college is well equipped with latest technology and smart boards in each class. They also have a seminar hall they recently remodelled so it's quite good now. Only thing is, campus is a bit smaller than other campus.
I come from BCom. background and I love the relevance of the course content. My course is a little more on the technical side as compared to a general MBA but I like it cz data is the future. I'd suggest you to keep data specialisation too.
A neutral review because I have'nt really been through the placement process so far. My seniors have told me that the numbers on the website are pretty much accurate and seeing the placement scenario I believe it's true.
The college is offering pretty average infrastructure nothing too extravagant. Their seminar hall has a pretty low capacity and the college does not have space to expand it. The classrooms are nice and comfy.
Again, pretty average academics. I know people in other business schools across India and abroad and they have much more experiential learning as a part of their curriculum. My course specifically is a lot more gravitated towards technology.
I mean- it's not looking good to be honest. To be completely honest, the companies visiting campus are not good and the good ones aren't hiring a lot of candidates. So kinda like a loose-loose situation so far
College infra is good. They have 2 libraries, a canteen and one rooftop place to chill around. Winters ke liye it's quite good to sit on the rooftop and work in sunlight. The classrooms are also good.
I like the finance courses a lot. The faculty is quite nice. I did not know that there would be python and other coding in the course so it took me some time to learn it. Otherwise the course is quite good.
The placement team is good. Student driven and every student has access to directly talk to them or the placement head directly if anything seems to be the problem. Companies in finance are good and good packages.
Good Functional classrooms. All classrooms have Acs and Smart boards. Some classrooms also have Systems which is usually where labs are held or classes for BDA are held. Overall modern infrastructure.
New curriculum they have since this year for Big Data Analytics which is very hands on and informative. I come from Commerce background and yet they made it easier. This course has some coding too in Python.
I am in 1st year so I have not been a part of placements so far, only SIP. SIP has been good so far, process has not started much. I have finance and BDA so I am looking for Financial analyst placements.
The infrastructure of the campus, classrooms is modern and well-equipped. We have advanced tech facilities, a well-stocked library, and a comfortable campus. The environment is the right level of competitive.
The course outline is good. A little different (good different) from website as they changed it up this year. Nonetheless, it's an interesting course that is challenging, in a good way. I am from economics background so it is intriguing for me.
I am in 1st year so I have only experience with Summer Internship Placements. The college offers great support in placements and also intimates if there are any other good external opportunities available.
I live in hostels, the hostels are good, quite spacious. We have an auditorium in campus where we have seminars and other events. We have 2 libraries on campus, one is the regular library and other one is E-library.
Could be better. The curriculum is no doubt good, but sometimes it feels too theoretical. The knowledge provided is also good, but could be better. Some subjects have good impact on resume so they are important.
I have only sat for summer internships so far so I'll give that experience. Companies visiting campus have been good so far, good roles in marketing, sales and finance HR etc. I am analytics student so good analytics roles too.
The infrastructure is good. The Campus is split into 3-4 blocks and a separate block is there as well for FPM students. There is no ground in campus, but they have spaces for playing badminton and other sports like Table tennis. The classes are well maintained
The curriculum is designed in a very hands-on approach way. Every professor focuses on providing examples and are very welcoming to solve your doubts as many times as it is needed. They have changed the curriculum a bit this year.
The batch size increased this year a little bit so it could be a con. But the overall placements and packages reflected on websites are actually true and not inflated. Also good companies coming on campus.
Assuming you are a General Category Aspirant, at 97-99 percentile being from a Non Engineering Background you do stand a chance to secure a Call from one of the Top MBA Institutes like IIM or FMS Delhi, however with an satisfactory to average academic record, I believe you may loose certain credits there. However, do keep hope as you still stand a chance to secure a place in one of the Good Management Institutes like Top IITs like SJSOM, VGSOM, DMS IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, IEM IIT Kanpur, IIT Roorkee and so on, as well as MDI Gurgaon, IMT Ghaziabad and many other Excellent Private Institutes and Universities accepting CAT Score for MBA Admissions.
