FMS Delhi All Questions

Hi,

I hope you are doing well.

In order to get the FMS you should be good with your 10 & 12 percent.

Don't focus more on that just do bring 99+% in CAT you will selected in FMS because they didn't see your work experience. They will just see 10% weightage of 10 & 12(5%-5% both).

First know that your past academics won't affect your chances. The breakup for final shortlist is 85% for CAT score, 10% Interview, 5% Extempore.

Now, You need at least 98+ %ile with a good verbal percentile to get a call from FMS, let alone converting. Verbal because they have different weightage for different sections. This year it is 40:30:30 for VARC: DILR: QA respectively. For Converting the call it is difficult for a percentile less than 99.

If you are a OBC-NC candidate, a score of 96+ %le would be a good score to begin with.

I hope this helps.

Hi Richie,

Hope you are doing well. Selection to top B-Schools like IIM A, B, C, L, K, I, XLRI, MDI, FMS, NITIE requires a you to ace in a lot of categories.

• Firstly, your CAT / XAT score needs to be phenomenal.
• Secondly, your past academics needs to be very good.

Now, the first point i.e. doing well in the entrance exam is a bare minimum but everything else is subjective. Many aspirants with decent academics get through while some with brilliant academics fail. But that doesn't mean your past acads has no value. See the point is, the professors see in you what extra attribute can you bring to the batch. If they see any spark in you, you're sure to be selected and mind you me, this spark can be anything from academics to extra- curricular activities, any special hobby that you might have or any exceptional experience you might have faced.

So to simplify and answer your question straight... Yes extra-curricular activities bring in some bounty points during PI just like exceptional academics but nothing guarantees your admission. Its you, overall that they judge. Any special abilities you might possess that separates you from  the rest always becomes a turning point.

Hope this was helpful.

Hello,

FMS Delhi considers the overall CAT score. It also considers sectional cutoff as per the weightage.

A candidate with a high sectional percentile score of 97+ in CAT has a chance of getting shortlisted as per the sectional weightage criteria.

The weightage on PI is 15%, weightage on CAT score is 50%, Discussion of statement purpose(GD was dropped) was 10%, extempore weightage was 5%, marks obtained in class 10th and 12th has weightage 10%.

If your 10th and 12th score are low you can still get shortlisted based on your PI and other work experience.

Hope This will help, All the best.!!!
