FMS Delhi usually has the highest cut offs for its 200 seat intake. In 2018, the cut off for SC Category was 82 percentile. Now cut offs change every year. But going by your academics, you might be shortlisted for FMS.  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 pf 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 atleast 97 sectional weightage will be shortlisted at FMS. 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. FMS, Delhi concluded 2018 placemebts with an average placement package of 22.60 Lakhs for Women Candidates. Out of a batch of 223 Students, 215 participated in Placements and all of them have been placed there by leaving FMS, Delhi at the top in 100% Placement Companies. Though 133 companies participated in Hiring process, 83 companies could make the recruitment offers.

With your CAT percentile you have good chances of getting a call from FMS.The minimum percentile required is approximately 80 for SC students. Moreover you can get calls from most of the IIMs also but in order to get selected you'll have to perform really well in the subsequent selection rounds as FMS has a very rigorous process of selection.

All the very best
