FMS is a small red building in the heart of the lush green Delhi University. It is the only top premier B-schools in the country that follows a university setting. FMS, also called the red building of dreams is a place of aspirations for thousands of students that are daily going to colleges. The university setting gives us access to world-class facilities and faculties that are teaching in the university. Need an expert on economics, walk into the Delhi School of Economics, need legal help understanding your case, walk into the Faculty of Law.
What makes my campus unique?
As a common notion goes, the journey of thousand miles begins with the first step. I can ideally relate this quote and management concept to my campus. First and foremost, Delhi University as a public university has a lot of constraints. By constraints, I mean the financial capital and resources. And this is something I mostly heard from everybody I met. But the best part is the university and the campus has never allowed the constraints to overshadow quality and elegance at work. Now, this is how I relate the quote I mentioned earlier to the real life. In the actual business setting, there is a resource constraint and we are expected to maximize value based on it. If I am to join as a business leader I cannot go about demand more and more resources than I am allocated. It's actually preparing us for the future that beholds ahead of us. Second, the history my campus carries make it unique. It has its root connected to economic development in form of exploring privatisation, business development to leading the hitherto businesses. There are alumni of my campus who have worked for planning commissions, starting their own business, and take businesses to a great height under their leadership. Hence the rich history my campus pose makes it unique. Finally, I understand that modern-day business and its leadership is about experience sharing and network. In this regard, there is the amalgamation of alumni and the networking opportunities it provides to toddlers like us. Thus, my campus is unique in these ways.
Ours is a small campus with fewer students than most other B schools in the country. Some see it as a disadvantage but I am of a different opinion. Being in a small campus does have its advantages. Here we all know each other by our first names. Our teachers and seniors know each and every one of us. Here there are opportunities to form real and lasting bonds
What makes my campus unique?
Being a Premier B-school in India, what sets FMS apart is the bond amongst the seniors and juniors. As we have a batch size of 200 odd students, each student at FMS gets an opportunity to know every other student at the campus. The bond developed in unparalleled and evokes peer to peer learning even during canteen breaks. The faculty personally takes interest in each student which makes this the most unique B-school campus in the country.
Our campus is called 'The Red Building of Dreams' and rightly so.
