not only fms..even xlri do not come wid scores of gd/pi…dey jst declare wether a person is selected or rejected..

A very welcome development indeed. Having gone through the process this year, I felt the number of DU/NSIT/DCE guys offered admissions is disproportionate.
Hope we have some clarity

the selection process must be transparent.
the case should be an eye opener for such B-schools

Its not true that DCE/NSIT guys are best. i have seen their grads percentages and also their obnoxious attitud during GD-PI process. You wont' believe, all DCE guys were below 70 % on an avg. So, selecting DCE/NSIT guy in FMS is not on the basis of merit but prejudiced.

this is a great development….i hope it's replicated across b-schools…

Adding to these thoughts there is also any transparency regarding the breakage of marks for final selection. What percentage of GD/PI and written marks actually make up for final admission. My experience was almost the same, having faired well in written exam and after decent gd/pi, I was atleast expecting my name in waiting list. I seriously believe there is lack of transparency and its time to lift the veil and look at the backstage drama.Thanks to this initiative we will get to know the actual ground realities.

dats a gud initiative…bravo!!!, ,even in UPSC civil service exam..same thing happened..n now hv made d process more transparent..hope same thing happens here as well…

I feel that the overall process of GD/PI at FMS has very little weightage attached to it.After a fantastic interview for MBA ft,many have been rejected over the years.I was just one of them this year:)Lets hope something something better comes out of this time around and they reveal the breakups from next year.

I will like to put my two cents on the discussion that DU/NSIT/DCE guys get undue advantage or preferance in case of FMS,this statement is totally FALSE..I myself being part of DU have seen that the main reason for these guys forming a major chunk of batch is bcoz of their dedication and passion for becoming a part of FMS.And I knw many classmates who get calls for interview,and only the BEST and deserving from those become a part of the final selection list…I agree that transparency in GD/PI process of FMS needs to be answered as the distribution is not well defined.Lets hope that the process gets transparent so that nobody can raise questions on the selection.

@mayankg, So you wnt to say only DU/NSIT/DCE guys put dedication and passion for becoming a part of FMS…and other guys just do a timepass very funny dude..pls check fms website and u'll get the answer wat is true and waat is false

well..i was part of both fms mba and ms gd/pi processthis year..bt i didnt even got in the final waiting list..that was disappointing for me..so when i checked on their site for other candidates who got selected..their score was even lower than me..there were some in my group as well and their gd wasnt that well…bt finally they got selected or were in waiting list..and there were too many ppl from delhi and too few outstation candidates…whatever it is ,they should come up with more transparent process

@kamleshwar13
Yaar let me tell u sm facts about NSIT/DCE. This year from
NSIT we had two 100 % in CAT, more than 55 final conversion. and this is frm NSIT alone, Dont know about DCE(I am frm NSIT)
and regarding % @pawanayak bhai we have work really hard to get over 70 % my college topper has arround 82 where as my branch has jst 78, now out 440 student hardly 15-20 % have more thn 70%
so its no wonder tht most of thm had less thn 70
one of my frnd has jst 60.1% marks and he got selected in IIM A,C
I am just trying to say that a large no of people every year frm NSIT/DCE clear FMS and other exams , thts why they are selected in large no

Hi,
My 2 cents ( or paise if you may prefer) on this.

FMS has an interesting selection criteria, which is missed by a lot of people.

1> The SOP( statement of purpose). Which is sent in with the application form.
2> Entrance exam which has almost 240 Questions(please forgive me if get the approximate number wrong).

3> Group Discussion.
4> An Elocution round.
5> Interview.

Now gentlemen, I see no one discussing the need for a good SOP here. My belief is that, SOP has a good amount of weightage too. I had the opportunity to know of a few SOP, that the candidates had written, and they themselves would know, if it was a real effort or a run of the mill "I want a good job, and MBA will get that for me." thing.

Trust me SOP is the make or break factor here. This is my belief.

Next comes the GD. I had the good fortune to be a part of a group which was so very civilized that even a person who would stammer, could make his point twice. Simultaneously there was another group, under pressure who just made a fish market out of it.

Next came Extempore. I got a weird topic, and I refused to speak (conveyed this by my expression to the panel), until given more specifics.

Next came the interview. And it was all from my SOP. I did not have the "exports of india", "the ports of india", sort of questions. They were from Quantitative finance.

At the end it was more of an interactive conversation, where the panel tried to push me around. I refused to be pushed around at all, and then we both understood each other, hence the rest of the flow was smooth, PRIMARILY because of my SOP. I gave them an area where we both could have had an intelligent conversation.

My question to all who are disputing the results of FMS is, gentlemen please introspect and let me know:—

"Why do you want to do an MBA at this time of life? How does this education align with your short term and long-term goals?, and how would an MBA at FMS help you achieve them?"

Word Limit 1000 words.

I believe we all have our answers.
