Hey Ramesh! Looking at your profile—10th: 92%, 12th: 93%, Master’s CGPA: 8.3, no work experience, SC category—you have a solid academic record. For top IIMs like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta, SC category candidates usually need a CAT percentile of around 92–94 to have a realistic chance at admission. Other IIMs like Lucknow, Indore, Kozhikode may require slightly higher percentiles, around 94–96. For FMS Delhi, SC candidates typically need 95+ percentile.

Remember, these percentiles are approximate and can vary slightly each year depending on the competition and number of seats. Sectional cut-offs also matter, so make sure to perform well in all sections of CAT. Since you have no work experience, your academic record will carry more weight, which is in your favor. My suggestion is to aim for 95+ percentile to keep your options open across IIMs and FMS. Also, consider applying to other top MBA colleges alongside, to maximize your chances. With focused preparation, your profile is competitive for SC category seats.

Hello Sahitya

For FMS Delhi, your percentile should be 99%+ and it should be 99.5%+ to be on the safer side.

Now coming to the academics:
1. 10th marks: 75%+ are given 10 out of 10
2. 12th marks: 75%+ are given 10 out of 10
3. Graduation marks: FMS doesn't considers graduation marks for screening.

So if you have 75%+ in both 10th and 12th, you will get full marks in academic score.

Hello,

Admission to FMS Delhi primarily depends on your bachelor's degree performance and CAT exam score. For general category applicants, a minimum of 50% marks in graduation is required.

While FMS does consider Class 10 and 12 marks during the selection process, they allocate only 10% weightage to these scores.  Therefore, your current academic record in B. Pharm will be the most significant factor.

To enhance your chances, aim for a high percentile in the CAT exam , as FMS places substantial emphasis on CAT scores during admissions.

Hope it helps !

Greetings! Here's a detailed response to your query

Okay, so you're a bit confused about what to put in those CAT, FMS, DSE, and IIFT forms regarding your 12th scores. Since you did CBSE, they usually only consider your final 12th standard marks.

Even though you did great in 11th, scoring 495 out of 500, for these entrance exam forms, they're specifically asking about your 12th board exam marks .You mentioned you got 400 out of 500 in 12th, which comes out to 80%.

Therefore, when filling out the forms for CAT, FMS, DSE, and IIFT, you should enter 80% as your 12th percentage. The aggregate of 11th and 12th isn't typically what they're looking for in these sections. They want to know how you performed in your final board exams. So, stick with the 80% from your 12th results. Good luck with your applications!

Newer IIMs offer the long-term benefit of the IIM brand at competitive fees whereas XLRI, SPJIMR or FMS are stronger choices if one is seeking brand recognition, specialized programs and higher placement prospects

The newer IIMs say IIM Trichy, IIIM Udaipur, IIM Rohtak are gaining recognition but are still building their reputation as compared to the established MBA colleges like XLRI, SPJIMR and FMS.

Newer IIMs carry the IIM tag but lack the legacy and alumni network of XLRI, SPJIMR, and FMS.

Newer IIMs offer good placements but often with lower average salaries than XLRI, SPJIMR, and FMS, which have established recruiter networks and higher salary packages.

FMS offers the best return on investment due to its low fees and strong placements. Newer IIMs have moderate return on investment.

Newer IIMs have modern facilities but are still developing as compared to XLRI and SPJIMR.

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.

Institute of Management Studies, Banaras Hindu University (IMS BHU) formerly known as Faculty of Management Studies BHU offers MBA and MBA in International Business programmes. Admissions to these programmes are made on the basis of combined merit of candidates in the CAT , academic records, and Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

FMS BHU does not specifically mention the percentile required to get an Interview call as the cutoffs may vary every year depending upon a number of factors for candidates from different categories.

Admissions are strictly based on merit. The institute also has a provision of the admission under Paid Seat Scheme . Admission under this scheme will be made from the same merit list after concluding the regular seat admissions from the remaining candidates in the merit list. Candidates are required to appear for the CAT and must appear in GDPI process.

Therefore, as you have obtained 75.51 percentile in the CAT and you belong to the OBC category, then you might get an Interview call but it will depend upon a number of factors.
