Hi!

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is the first and the most important component to get admission to best institutes such as FMS Delhi or IIMs. In order to get admission to any of these institutes, you must obtain a good percentile in the CAT. However, scoring a mere percentile in the CAT will not give you a guarantee to get an interview call from these institutes as they have a very complex admission process.

These institutes give consideration to a lot of factors while giving an interview call to candidates. These factors include CAT score, Class 10, Class 12, and Bachelor's degree marks, work experience, academic, and gender diversity, etc. If you even score a great percentile in the CAT , this will not mean that you will get a confirm Interview call. However, if you belong to the reserved category, then there are good chances of receiving an interview call from IIMs and FMS even at a low percentile.

Therefore, the CAT score is not the only criteria but is one of the criteria for admission to these institutes. The marks obtained by you in Class 10, Class 12, and Graduation will play a major role to get a shortlist for the WATPI/ GDPI rounds and during your final selection. Therefore, you have good chances to get admission in FMS and IIMs subject to the condition that you must perform well in the CAT followed by the WATPI/ GDPI process.

The application forms are available online. In order to register, candidates must visit the official website of the college and then follow the below mentioned step-by-step process:

1. Register as a new user

3. Enter the mandatory information
4. Upload all the necessary documents
5. Pay the registration fee
6. Review all the information entered while filling the form
7. Confirm and submit

You might need nothing less than 95-97 percentile. This is because FMS Delhi usually has the highest cut offs for its 200 seat intake. The selection process includes 3 stage method. They are:

Eligibility Criteria
Group Discussion and Personal Interview
Final Selection

The basic eligibility criteria remains 50% aggregate for General Category in Graduation and 45% for Reserved Categories or equivalent CGPA from any recognised University. The percentiles in CAT are considered for the further rounds. In 2018, the weightage given for various sections of CAT have been as follows:

QA: 30%
DILR: 30%
VARC: 40%
An additional 3 marks are added to the Composite score in case of women for shortlisting. This score is used only for shortlisting Candidates for Personal Interview. The weightage for Final selection is as follows:
Personal Interview: 15%
CAT score: 60%
Group Discussion: 10%
Extempore: 5%
10th marks: 5%
12th marks: 5%
An additional 3 marks of the maximum aggregate will be added to the women candidates who have attended the Interview. Now with all this process, the cut offs is an important issue to be discussed. Previously FMS used to consider overall CAT score for shortlisting. However since the past 2 years, FMS has been giving sectional preference and weightage. VARC occupies the top position with 40% weightage. A Candidate with at least 97 sectional weightage will be shortlisted at FMS. So it is important to focus more on VARC section while not leaving other sections.

Hello Aspirant,

Please specify your caste for more better answer if you are talking about FMS DELHI than for a general category 99+ or in some case 99.5+ is the cutoff for an OBC candidate 95+ is a safe score and for a SC candidate 80+ is a safe score, FMS Delhi sees cat score more importantly than your profile so you have to work hard for FMS DELHI other than this they also give more impornce to RC and Verbal section.

For FMS BHU general cutoff is 83 percentile for getting a call for GD and PI in previous year.

I hope the above information is beneficial for you.

All the best.

Hi there ,

Hope you're having a great day.

I would like to inform you that FMS Delhi has now increased its MBA course fee to Rs. 48,000 per semester including all the components. The total MBA fee at FMS for all the four semesters, therefore goes up to Rs. 1.92 lakhs.

The Placement record at FMS Delhi has always been an average of 92-95% every year seeing that some students drop off and become entrepreneurs in between.

If you have any further questions just let me know in the comments section below, Ill help you out as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot and best of luck for your future ahead.

Hi Akarsh,

The minimum eligibility criteria for admission into MBA courses clearly states that only those candidates are eligible who have at least 50% marks all round  that is 50% in class X, class XII and subsequently in graduation.

Once a candidate has the above criteria then the candidate has to appear for the MBA entrance examination such as CAT and consecutively has to crack it in order to get a call for pursuing MBA. So in order to be eligible for admission into FMS, Delhi you most definitely fulfill the preliminary criteria however you have to crack the CAT entrance examination with a great percentile for the same.

BEST WISHES!

I forgot to mention the college FMS. I am unable to edit the question so mentioning here. What would be my composite score without gd/pi/extempore. And what should be my score in gd/pi to convert the call?
