With 10th percentage 93.1, 12th percentage 90.4, btech cgpa 6.62, what chances do i have of getting a call into top iims, fms, mdi with a CAT score.of over 99 percentile?
Hey Akash
Considering your Academic profile and CAT score for predicting selection in top IIMs is not sufficient. The selection depends on given factors:
- CAT scores
- Work Experience
- Gender Diversity
- WAT and Interview
- Academic Scores
- Overall profile
And being a General Engineers Male candidate, you must score above 99.6+ percentile for increasing chances of selection in top IIMs and FMS. With good performance in Interview and considerable work experience chances increases automatically.
For further doubts, ask us.
how does FMS calculate composite score? what does score in section represents?
The FMS initial shortlist is solely based on CAT percentiles and marks
the CAT distribution is VARC-40%,DILR-30%,QA-30%
extra 5 marks to the composite score is added for female candidates.
So if your academics and profile is not too strong, just focus on the CAT ; try to score 99.9+ %ile and you are through because FMS gives very high weightage (approx 80%) to the CAT score in the final selection.
Hope it helps.
Best of Luck.
what about scholarship in FMS for ST. candidate? and how can we expect GI PI and EXTEMPORE round will be?
There are certain provisions through which you can avail a fee reduction being a ST category Student.
They don't have any Scholarship type system but they have a fee reduction category for SC/ST.
Coming to the second part of the question. For the final selection, your GD/PI and Extempore carries 20% weight age.
They generally selects the trending topics from recent economics activities like slump in GDP, effect of foreign remittances during covid -19 or post corona, Banking frauds, etc.
All the best!!
am having 8.5 GPA in 10th nd 82 percentile in inter and i am ST candidate. what are the chances of getting admission in FMS?
FMS is known for being one of the best MBA College in India and is equivalent to IIM A and C and better than several other IIMs. To get admission in FMS you need to get an undergraduate degree from a recognised university with atleast 50% score. Next you need to clear CAT exam and since you belong to ST category, you need to score atleast 65% in the said exam.
Which is good to join FMS BHU or IIM Bodh Gaya for MBA ?
Dear Aspirant,
If you are looking for ROI then FMS BHU will be a good option with average package of 7-8 lakhs
While IIM Bodh gaya will give you a tag of passed out from IIM and the Average package is 10 lakhs
So think of it, check the reviews and then take the decision
Hope this helps
I belong to a CW-4 Category. I have more than 80 % marks in 10th and 12th . I know I will be shortlisted for GD PI at FMS (Faculty of management studies) but what are my chances of converting the call? How much do i need to score in CAT for successful conversion?
Generally the cutoff goes high for FMS for general category candidate, now if it is about cw category then and this cutoff vary from 5 to 40 percentile depending upon the number of cw category you belong, this is a probable idea from past year cut off analysis there may be some fluctuation also, now if you are expecting your call from FMS and you still have 80% in your 10th and 12th so you may consider your good chances if you get more and more percentile it is difficult to predict because it depends upon the number of seats available for cw category so in FMS, there are approx 10 seats available for cw category so depending upon the number of student who get high percentile plus good percentage in their 10th and 12th call chances will change, so I would suggest you to to prepare by targeting your aim to get 98 plus percentile so that it could the easy for you to see yourself on high priority under these 10 seats because among all the cw candidates only those candidate will get call who will have good academic plus percentile in CAT with total seat thought.
Best of luck.
what is the cutoff for ST candidates for getting admission in FMS?
In faculty of management studies, Delhi University if we go with the previous year record of CAT cut off then it was around 19.33 (composite score) for ST Candidate, but this is a probable idea from previous year record it may vary according to the number of student appeared in the exam, total number of seats available, difficulty level of the exam, etc.

Eligibility Criteria
Group Discussion and Personal Interview
Final Selection
Ruchi, you haven't mentioned whether you have been working for the past 4 years. Neverthless, if you look at FMS selection process, if you can get a CAT percentile of 96 and more, you should be hopeful for a chamce at FMS. 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:

So it is important to focus more on VARC section while not leaving other sections. Higher cut offs are due to the intensity of the competition at FMS, Delhi. Their placements speak for themselves.

my brother passed ba(economics) with 84% and he wants to pursue mba at FMS ,So which specialization is best for him to pursue mba
hi,
see in mba course of fms delhi, in 1st year syllabus there is no specialization, students need to learn the basic of all the modules like Human Resources, Organisational Effectiveness & Change, Marketing Management, Financial Management, Quantitative Methods, Computer Applications in Management , in second year you need to choose your subject of specialization in which you want to do your major, since your brother is from economics background he should go for finance as a specialization, finance has many topics and curriculum related with economics and mathematics related with data science.
