What students and alumni say about placements, academics and campus life
"I paid ₹2.43 L for the entire 2-year MBA and placed at McKinsey at ₹40+ LPA. The ROI ratio is genuinely unmatched in India. Even ABC IIM graduates I know would have paid ₹26-27 L for similar outcomes. FMS is the smartest financial decision in Indian higher ed."
"₹1.01 Cr highest CTC in 2025 — that's our batch. FMS placements in Finance (Goldman Sachs, JPMC, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America) have always been competitive with ABC IIMs. The Investment Banking pipeline is genuinely strong in Delhi."
"Living in Vijay Nagar with 4 other FMS classmates cost me ₹8,000/month for shared 2BHK. Total 2-year living + tuition ~₹4 L. ROI on placement (₹30+ LPA) was visible from day 1. The "no hostel" part is honestly a bonus — Delhi life is part of the experience."
"DU brand value is real. The Faculty of Management Studies sits alongside Delhi School of Economics, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Law — I attended electives from DSE and had unique cross-disciplinary perspective. Not available at any IIM or private B-school."
"+5 marks bonus for women is a formal admissions policy at FMS. I got in through that with CAT 97 percentile and a 90% Class XII. The marks bonus actually matters — without it I would have been on the waitlist. Genuinely making women's diversity a structural priority."
"Trade-off: international exchange is weaker than IIMs/SPJIMR. I had to self-arrange a 2-week study trip to Singapore via DU framework. If you specifically want robust international components, MDI PGDM-IB or SPJIMR INTEX is better. But if you want a finance/consulting career in India with the best ROI, FMS wins."
"FMS dominates corporate competitions — Tata Imagination Challenge, ReNew ReLead, Capgemini La Nique all won by FMS teams in 2024-25. The competitive environment combined with low-fees-high-stakes mindset creates a unique hunger that's hard to find elsewhere."
