Summary - domains
The list of companies indicates that FMS had an extremely strong performance in General Management, Marketing and Media. These are three areas where FMS stands out. In other areas like technology, finance and consulting, it had good opportunities - given the batch size of around 220 students. Considering the fees for the course, (roughly Rs. 70,000 for a two year course), FMS is truly one of the best MBA colleges in India in terms of ROI.
Other details (statistics are for the batch of 220 students)
- One third of the batch will work in the marketing function. This is actually lower than last year, when nearly 40% of the batch picked up marketing roles.
- One fifth of the batch will work in finance, followed by 18% in consulting and 13% in general management. The percentages for finance and consulting have been reversed compared to last year.
- 38 students had pre-placement offers according to FMS' placement report on its website. This amounts to a 17% PPO rate, which may be higher than the average for all B schools, but is lower than XLRI (32%) in 2014.
- 60 lateral offers were made - this means that a total of 100 students, (nearly 45% of the batch) already had a job in hand before final placements.
We would again like to reiterate that this report is based on unverified data, and users are advised to verify the details on their own before taking any decision based on the information in this report.
