Exposure
Ever felt like you wish you knew how you could ask the more relevant questions about the real world problems of this nation to the right people? FMS regularly conducts various panel discussions where students get to be a part of conversations that are about changing the world around us with imminent personalities. Just 4 months into FMS and we’ve met and interacted with people like Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Mr. Arun Jaitley, Dr. Raghuram Rajan to name a few. Being in the heart of Delhi and being privileged to be in one of the best schools for management in the country, we let go of no opportunity to participate at such forums.
Location
Being in the National Capital of a country like India, gives you an opportunity to the best possible live projects and corporate competitions in the country. We greatly benefit from this as we get to visit organizations for conducting research as part of our curriculum and travel to the outskirts for rural stints as well.
Placements and Entrepreneurship
Do you know about the ROI at FMS? Of course, you do. Did you know that FMS helps its students in entrepreneurial ventures and organizes Base Camps and E-summits to bring together potential investors and the brightest minds of the country right here in this Red Building? Guidance+ Mentorship+ Funding (yes, even if you’re in your first year!) If you have a great idea, FMS helps you to make it come true. Really. That’s not it. Have you heard about FMS’ Placement Holiday policy? Have a dream? Want to pursue it but don’t want to let go of the opportunity to work for some of the biggest brands in the world? No worries. You can do both. If one signs up for the Placement Holiday, one may pursue their entrepreneurial venture and sit for the final placements within the next two years of graduation if things go south. All the more reason why this place is truly the Red Building of Dreams, isn’t it?
The Big Things in Small Packets Theory
What’s really fantastic about the building physically, is that it’s not spread across many acres, and occupies very little space on the grounds of North Campus. Here’s where the Big Things in Small Packets theory comes into play. You will always run into some batch mate or senior or professor on your way to anywhere on campus. In the MBA world where competition forces people to hone their own skills and focus on individualistic development, the Red Building brings them together physically which thus leads to the legendary camaraderie. This small package hosts world’s future leaders and game-changers. If you’re wondering about the facilities around campus, we have the whole of Delhi University at our disposal. Whether you are looking for a library, a gymnasium or a sports complex, you have it here. Elysium, the annual sports fest is held in the best of the venues (many of them prepared for international athletic meets like the Commonwealth Games) that DU has to offer and we continue to have an access to them throughout the year as well. The Patel Chest Auditorium and the University Conference Centre house the larger meetings for us.
Changes in Admission Criteria
With the changing pattern of CAT, FMS has slightly changed its criteria. But no need to worry, first stage shortlist will only be based on CAT. FMS Delhi will award the highest weightage of 40% to VARC section in its shortlisting criteria for MBA 2016-18 batch while the other 2 sections on Quant and DILR will have an equal weightage of 30%. In the final selection process, female candidates will be awarded 3% extra marks to promote gender diversity. All the hardwork in the past few months will be put to test very soon. We are sure you are going to give your best shot and not give in to the pressure. Believe in greater things, and believe in yourself. Your dreams are waiting for you at the Red Building.
