120k people took(yes took not just filled form) for FMS from all over country 4 their 90 seats 40 other seats r for MBA(MS) not their flagship program. 130k applications were sold for cet, 110k sent their form only 90k turn up for exam...And everybody knows how many out of these 90k were fighting for JB(ask to urself) and u can't deny whoever took FMS entrance just took that solely keeping in mind just this one college. There r only 4 permanent faculties in jb, Nobody doubts DU's professor except u, to remove ur confusion i'm adding link below. Dear FMS has 30-35 permanent number of teachers for their batch not just 4 lik jb. Check FMS faculties list and see they hv haward, menchester, stanford teachers. And no college in india has Ceo and m.d.'s as prof they r just guest lecturers, like them many ceo's come in FMS too. Fee is just 20k in FMS(most cheapest in india) comparing to JB's 1.6 lakh it's all bet on FMS. IIM students in numbers(yes in numbers ask any iim prof if u doubt or visit fms) leave their seats for FMS there might can b 2-3 exceptions in case of JB but for FMS it's every years routine and at last some real evidence of my fact i give u link to PAGALGUY's ranking check here where ur JB's standing infront of FMS.
Well bro JB's definitely very awesome quality college but remember FMS fetches students from All Over India(1.16 billion minds) comparable to JB's(9 crore maha's population). And check following list of FMS's alumni to make ur GK better FMS ALUMNI it includes heads of BHEL, OIL, RANBAXY, INDIATIMES, PIZZA HUT, TAJ GROUP, ZEE, Microsoft, CNBC, GE etc check complete list on link. FMS's brand is established since 1954 much before than IIMs and ur JB. Check this years placements figures on both websites again FMS is ahead. So bro noting goes in favour of JB when i compare to FMS. All d best |
Dude,please show some basic reading comprehension skills.The context of Maverick's post was that people do leave FMS for JB.That only means that JB is in a league where it can be a better option than FMS for some people.He doesn't mean to compare the two colleges head on,and never claims that JB is better than FMS in all areas and for all people.
Just as he has named people who've left XLRI for JB,there are plenty who leave JB for XL too.Who'se denying that??Lots of people leave FMS for XL.We have people who left XL.Does that mean that we are two notches above FMS?No.That is neither a fact nor our contention.The point is that JB is more or less in the same league.Whether it is better than FMS or not is not the focus of our argument at all.
Guest lecturer and visiting faculty are two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT things.We have followed the visiting faculty model right from 1965.MD's and CEO's have always come here,not just to teach broader stuff as in guest lectures,but core areas as well.We have profs who've been here for more than two decades,and are "visiting" faculty just in the sense that they're not university employees.
And I guess you're the one who needs a little GK lesson.Please look at this list of JB alumni:
1.Chanda kochar(CEO,ICICI bank)
2.Harish Manwani(Chairman Asia and Africa,Unilever)
3.Nitin Paranjpe(CEO,HUL)
4.Naushir Kaka(Partner,Mckinsey)
5.Lalita Gupte(MD,ICICI bank)
6.Vinita Bali(MD,Britannia)
7.Shivanand Mankekar(India's second biggest stock investor with>350 crore in personal portfolio)
8.Nitin Ghadiyar(Independent consultant,ex executive director,Dabur,creator of many famous positionings such as Palmolive,Complan,Halls,Chiclets...)
9.Ajay Piramal(Chairman,Piramal Group)
10.Uday Kotak(MD,Kotak Mahindra Bank)
11.Sam Balsara(Chairman,Madison Communications)
12.Maniratnam(the famous movie director)
These are just the prominent names.
FMS might have started off in 1954.But it started a FULL TIME MBA programme in 1967,four years after Bajaj did.Do I see a follower here??
And yeah,if you are an FMS student,I for sure can see the quality of the FMS written test.Dude,there's nothing called MOST CHEAPEST in the english language!!
Another thing:You might be aware of something called standard deviation in statistics.In JB,though overall average might be lower,the standard deviation is lesser,coz as you mentioned yourself,27 FMS students were placed at 14 lakh package in a batch size of 90.Firstly,if it is THIS YEAR'S data,then the overall average of FMS being 11.47 being means that the rest of the junta got a lot lower package to bring the average down,doesn't it??And for god's sake,please quote correct figures.For 2008,the average package was 15.3,not 16.5 as you quoted:
Final Placements @ FMS: Connecting Great Minds to Greater Opportunities
Now for your argument regarding people dropping CET,one thing is very clear amongst aspirants:They live on hope.In January,when the FMS exam is held,lots of final results are pending.So people sure as hell want to take a chance with the exam,whether or not they are capable of cracking it.In CET,however,by the time the written test comes up,people have atleast finished gd/pi rounds at whatever colleges they have calls from,and have a fair idea of their chances.Now,a huge chunk of aspirants for both exams are aiming at half decent colleges.In case of FMS,they write the exam and eventually end up in lower rung colleges.In CET,they're mostly done with their gd/pi rounds,are clear about some results/have recieved them,and don't wanna give lower rung CET colleges a shot,as JB is out of reach anyways.This,in no way means that the total size of the competition pool is any different.
So I guess YOU have got some of your doubts cleared.Take a chill pill now!!
