Hey guys,

Congratulations for the convert. Anybody yet to withdraw from IIM Indore ? In general category. Kindly help !!

Haha I was waiting for a case like this to see what happens. Now will they admit all 186 ? Never really understood the concept of buffer calls, from what I can fathom, its done only to make the waitlist movement look good and boastable

There are people who choose C over A, especially the fin oriented. Some experienced people prefer B as well. A couple seem to choose FMS as well So wl was expected to move. Guess they gave out a decent number of buffer calls. Feel really bad for wl 1

Buffer calls are also given to make the admission process less complicated. If buffer calls are not given, the admissions office probably would receive cancellation requests, mails, calls to check status on an everyday basis.

Giving buffer calls just makes it a bit simpler. And yeah, as you say, for some like IIM L, boasting of lesser waitlist or hiding it does matter.

Like we have priorities in choosing a B school, admissions offices also have priorities in what admission process to follow - buffer calls or not, wait list or not, etc

@irisingh you are going to which colg?

tusharrajverma Says

4 is too insignificant a number to strain the rock-solid infrastructure at IIMA ;)

I thought the BAZINGA was implied!!!!

I will be going in to register in the Gen category on Thu or Fri latest........ Will ask the guys at the office of any movements and post asap.

They have no choice but to admit all 186 now. People have left many other really good institutes to join them, few may have left good jobs. Now they can't say to them "Aap nai aa sakte; aapki to buffer call thee."
This only means a strain on the institute's infrastructure and resources eg. mess, hostels, the playgrounds which were originally designed keeping in mind that they will be used by 182.
Not to mention, 4 more will have to be gratified by the placecomm for the summers!

I am a General Category Candidate..I'll withdraw my admission on 15th June...I am sorry I can't do it before that because they need me to come in person to do it... 15th is the earliest i can fly to delhi..

So the Waitlist in General will move by 1 more place..All he best to all the waitlisted folks here..I can understand the anxiety..keep faith :)

Please ask people from the admissions office about other withdrawals and post it here.

For 182 GEN seats, they called 193.

Though I still feel, slightly less will turn up for the registration. Some may opt out at the last minute.
You never know, some stud out there may be waiting for the Stanford waitlist to move!

mdshetye Says

Checked on the IIMA thread. It seems for 182 GEN seats there, 186 people have registered ( IIMA gave buffer calls this year, although I can't for the love of god understand why). So unless 5 guys withdraw....GEN waitlist will not move.

IIMA list finally seems to have moved.. 1 ST guy converted today.. quite possible GEN and other category might also move.. So keep up the hopes.. The list might move a but though not a lot...

After all hope is not a bad thing to have

Caladrius Says

I want to withdraw my admission from FMS (general category) but am deterred by the prospect of having to fly to Delhi just to do that, as there's so much else going on that I need to focus my energy on. Can't I just send someone else to withdraw the admission for me? Is it necessary that I have to go?

Oh please dont delay it...It will be a huge relief to a guy who is waitlisted next.
Just talk to the addmissions office on phone.I hope there must be some other way out for it.

Good Luck
P.S. One more person posted an L convert(general) on the facebook group today, which puts him on a few days of confusion. Though he said he'd be at FMS 99%

He has confirmed on the FMS facebook group that he will be joining FMS considering location, placements and fees. So thats one less prospective movement for general. But dont worry, there will be a further 4-5 movement for sure.

Good Luck

People have choosen FMS over IIM B let alone college like IIM L. Major reason is Strong Alumni base and smaller batch ,it's harder to place so many people in colleges like IIM L, IIM I etc. As if you see there are packages of 50 lpa , 70 lpa , 1crore are given in colleges like IIM C but still they have avg. packagae of 15-16 lpa similar to FMS this is because of large batch size hence good students gets huge packages but average students or poor students can go as down as 7-8 lpa which is not the case in FMS because batch size is small and this year it has been reduced further to it's easier to place and lowest salary don't go below 9-10 even if your are a poor student you will get placed.

Indeed, though my personal opinion will be the 4 old IIMs, coz of the IIM brand, but the placements arent that great for some IIMs. Like quoted, to place a batch of 400+ is no cakewalk even for the best of IIMs. I saw a link for IIML Summer Placements 2011-13: IIM Lucknow Inside IIM - The inside view of top Management schools in Asia - IIM, ISB, XLRI, FMS, SPJIMR, NUS, CAT, XAT, GMAT and the comments dont look all sunshine I have no clue whether its true or not, but sm1 on fb stated it 2b true. IIMI, many might be aware of the newspaper articles, struggling for final placements.

Though, these are very good institutes but the batch size that too in current economic affairs has gone badly against them. FMS/XL on the other hand are equally good brand names and awsm institues

As 99% junta go for an MBA for the placements, any glitch or struggling with the placements or god-forbid forced opt-outs will leave one nowhere. All this combined with a meagre 80K total MBA cost at FMS as opposed to 15-20L for other colleges where most have2 survive on a loan, most ppl will surely go for FMS .

p.s. There is nothing shocking though, all through the years we've seen junta whos left IIMs for other inst, and vice-versa and many have done well for themselves. Its just with current economies and batch sizes, sm more will be joining other inst, as one needs to be as sure as possible of getting placed comfortably and most imp to be able to repay the loan, in FMS case any working guy can pay for his whole 2yrs of MBA:clap:

Is there any person on PG from nc-obc category who is yet to withdraw his/her admission from fms?

Ha Ha,nothing against any college , i had my IIM L call when in college and now i had from FMS , its first time i had filled the FMS form so was surprised to see confusion between IIM L and FMS and that is why was curious to know , never heard in college people choosing FMS over IIM L , that time people are not that serious also about MBA so they just fill the CAT form may be that , i don't have any problem with anyone bhai chill choose whatever college one feels to be best !!

Cheers

Dude , I knew about FMS but that was not the option we generally choose immediately after graduation,we would rather go for job,people generally look for IIMs at that point , its after a point when you are looking to do MBA you start looking for other options and thats what i meant, IIMs(A,B,C,L) are always better option for MBA compared to FMS/XL

As is evident, many of the people who have the option of FMS and IIM L are choosing FMS. I wonder if you have the option too ? Or is this a case of sour grapes ?

What are the consideration that people take for leaving IIM L for FMS ?
If one leaves the fees factor i think one would blindly choose L , IIM brand , better infrastructure etc , i am really surprised to see people choosing FMS over L , when in college i had not even heard much of FMS , i had written only CAT then, surprised to see so many people choosing it !!

bhai mere..where do u stay ??

moon / mars or u hibernate..sorry to say but its a pity to come across such a person who gave CAT but has no idea about FMS... :banghead::banghead:

sorry to say, but i will suggest u to learn abt clg es first, then give CAT...

With the setting up of so many IIMs, I don't think that there will be anything like Brand IIM in the future. Each of the individual IIMs will have their own brand.

For instance, Brand IIMA will be different and distinct from Brand IIML which inturn will be different from Brand IIM Kashipur etc.

Besides, non IIMs like FMS and XLRI are brands in their own right. The people who matter know FMS Delhi.

P.S - Just expressing my personal opinion. This post is not intended to compare institutes.

If you'd read this thread carefully, you'd find that there are a couple of people who have left IIM ABC for FMS. There have been people who have done it for years.

The point is that there are several advantages of FMS over IIM L. And there are several advantages of IIM L over FMS as well. To each his own.

To illustrate a few points, FMS is almost 60 years old. Which means it has close to 60 batches out there, and people at the top of corporate and public life, as illustrious, if not more than ABC. The FMS brand is as big, if not bigger than IIM L in the industry, and if will take you as far as you can hope to go with any other degree from any school in India, so long as you prove yourself worthy of it. So what friends and family think should be the last consideration.

Another prime advantage is that you live in Delhi for 2 years, in DU, and you have a fantastic life. Acedemically less rigurous than IIM L, and as good(or better in certain disciplines) opportunities. Add to that the small batch size, more bonding, much less competition for the same number of coveted jobs. Go through the FMS placement reports and you'l know. The average salary is in excess of 16 lakhs

And ofcourse, the fees. Weigh paying 30k a month for 7 years as loan, v/s, paying no loan

I don't know , whatever may be the case my first priority would be always which college is best for me , rest everything doesn't matter as much , i am an iit graduate and trust me it does have an effect though viceversa is not true that u can not do well if you don't have an iit/iim tag but an iit or iim tag makes it simpler that is my point , one has to think between IIM I or K and FMS but for L i don't know how people leave it for FMS.

P.S
No disregards for FMS , i think its a brilliant college but just i would not choose it over IIM L !!

Dude, simple reason being priorities for every single individual are different. Not everyone is mad after an IIM tag. Not everyone desires just fame and a large campus. For some, the priority is fees, for some its the location. For some, its being part of a smaller batch and bonding better with your batch mates that counts.

FMS has a history and a heritage of its own, starting from 1954. In fact, its one of the oldest institutes offering an MBA course in India. Getting into FMS is just as tough, if not tougher, when compared to other top Bschools.

And there are sufficient opportunities here for everyone.

Totally agree with you. Even if we talk of fees, it doesn't really matter in the long term. The payback period might be longer but the long term effects balance it. With an IIM tag, you don't face too many hurdles in your career. The career path, progress, respect (if I may so :-P) from friends and family is very good. I would have chosen L over FMS anytime.

PS: I don't mean to compare L and FMS if it appears so.
