Hi!

The marks obtained by you in Class 10 and 12 will not hamper your chances to appear for the entrance examination. In order to appear for the CAT , candidates must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA (45% in case of candidates who belong to SC, ST, and PwD (PWD) category).

However, marks obtained by you in Class 10 and 12 will play a major role to get a shortlist for the WATPI/ GDPI rounds, and during your final selection. These scores will be used by business schools while calculating the composite score. Some business schools give a lot of priority to your Class 10 and 12 marks while some business schools don't even consider your past academic record during the selection process. Therefore, you have good chances to get admission in good MBA colleges subject to the condition that you must perform well in the entrance examination followed by the WATPI/ GDPI process.

Further, you can appear for any entrance examination such as CAT, XAT , etc. subject to the condition that you must meet the minimum eligibility criteria for that particular examination.

Hy,

To get into the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), Delhi, candidates typically need to have strong academic records along with a good performance in the entrance exam (like the CAT). Here’s an overview based on your scores:

1. Class 10 and 12 Percentages :

  • Your Class 10 percentage of 55% may be on the lower side, while 77% in Class 12 is comparatively better.

2. Entrance Exam :

  • FMS places significant emphasis on CAT scores. A strong CAT score can help offset lower percentages in your earlier academic records.

3. Overall Profile :

  • Other factors like work experience, extracurricular activities, and personal interviews can also play a role in your admission chances.

4. Check Previous Cut-offs :

  • Look into past admission data and cut-offs for FMS. This will give you a clearer idea of whether your profile matches the typical applicant.

Conclusion

While your Class 10 score may be a concern, a strong CAT score and a well-rounded application can enhance your chances. Focus on preparing for the entrance exam and consider how you can strengthen your overall application.

Hello,

In order to be eligible for consideration, students need to score equivalent to or higher than the CAT cutoff set by FMS, Delhi. The average cutoff percentile at FMS is usually 98 or higher.

Hello aspirant,

FMS New Delhi does not offer direct admission to any applicants, just like any other top-ranked college in India for obtaining an MBA. Only the lower-ranked universities provide direct admission. Admission to colleges in FMS is solely determined by merit.

The CAT is the only route to the FMS. There isn't another option. On their website, you may view the breakdown or the weighting assigned to various sections. They used to weight the CAT percentile at 85%, but they have since decreased it .

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.

Hello Aspirant.

You have not specified the college you are seeking admission to.

If your desired college comes under any central university, admission to it will be based on Central Universities Entrance Test (CUET). If your query is related to a state-level university or college / deemed to be university / private university or college / others, it may or may not admit students through CUET. In that case, kindly mention the name of the college.

Hope you find this useful.

Your academics are pretty decent, although your score in graduation is slightly less but you may compensate it with Xth, XIIth and the score of your Common Admission Test percentile.

Within the OBC quota, if you get 99+ percentile, you'll easily get a call from all the top IIMs like Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta. Moreover, if you cross 98+ percentile, then you'll definitely get a call from Kozhikode and Lucknow.

So, in all you are in an advantageous position and should try to get as much percentile as you can in CAT. Hope I have answered your question. All the best!

Dear Aspirant,

FMS DU does not offer integrated BBA+MBA degree. Only MBA degree is offered there. The total cost will be somewhere between 1-2 Lakhs.

Hey Nikhil,

Hope you are doing well !

To answer your question, NO. All the students of premier B-schools in India do not have the above criteria. Though they are preferred, but what all the students have is a good profile, with good academics, and good co-curricular and extra-curricular.

Also, having work-ex is not mandatory, though it would help you is B-schools.

Hope my answer helped you. Please let me know in case of any further queries.

Hello Ram,

Hope you are doing well !

In answer to your question, I think that you have a pretty good chance to get in the top IIM's, and the premier B-schools in India. Though, your CAT score and your performance in GD-PI play a pretty important role in the process.

Other than that, I think that you have a pretty decent profile.

Hope my answer was helpful.

Wish you Best of Luck !
