I also received the same screen after registration.
Now it is wait and watch time!!

Hi, software engg to the rescue here.

I registered online for FMS today.

1. Fill in the details as asked.
2. You can fill in the address feilds, etc.. which do not accept commas bye typing in the details first in a notepad and then cut-copy-paste it into the form. This way all the fields can be populated as required including commas spaces etc...

3. You can upload the sign,pic,L-Thumb in any resoultion. I believe it would not be a problem as the software would be able to take care off.

After you have submitted the form. You would be forwarded to the axis Bank payment gateway. Wherin you need to fill in your CC details & make the payment.
Once you make the payment a confirmation page opens up with the reciept page which has the transaction number & payment succesful details.

Thats it.. after that there is no link & i have no idea what is the process next. :banghead:
I think they would be sending the brochure to your adress for further details...

However the interface is not user friendly & do not know what to do next.

:lookround:I have filled the online application for FMS but after payment I did not receive any confirmation email etc.
How could I make out that the aplication has been submitted successfully.
After Payment the web page that appeared contained following text

Thanks

ok i too have online applied and got similar page as 'cat talk'. i guess as anandphilip says it is best to just wait and watch.
meanwhile i request bahadur ji to kindly come to our rescue once again

1. initially, the images are JPEG type (no file extension is there with the name)
2. size of each file is from 5 to 8 kb
3. i m not using any image manipulation program. i m only renaming it with the new extension

thanx...

You have said 'no file extension is there with the name'. That means extension is hidden according to system configuration. In the folder where the image resides, go to Menu > Tools > Folder Options > View
There will be an Item 'Hide extension for known filetypes'
Uncheck the item and click on Ok
Now you will be able to see file extension

If it is .jpg, .gif or .png it should work
It is .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, rename it to the small letter versions .jpg, .gif or .png respectively
If it is not any of these three formats, you can't change the format just by changing the extension. You must use an Image manipulation program for the conversion like AcdSee, Irfanview, Photoshop, Gimp, Microsoft Picture Manager....

(PS: Once you complete doing these, don;t forget to undo the change in the settings. Again go to folder options and check in the item 'Hide extension for known filetypes')

If these steps are not working, you can mail the pics to me. I will try to correct them for ya. You will be able to find my mailid in my profile.

@randhawaharjyot
Please answer these questions so that we can analyse what may be wrong.

Question 1: What was the initial extension of the file, before u made the changes?

Question 2: What is the size of the file in Kilobytes?

Question 3: Are you merely renaming the file with new extension or are you actually changing the extension using any image manipulation program?

1. initially, the images are JPEG type (no file extension is there with the name)
2. size of each file is from 5 to 8 kb
3. i m not using any image manipulation program. i m only renaming it with the new extension

thanx...

i tried converting the images to be uploaded in the required format by changing the file extension to .jpg, .gif etc. but it is not accepting the images.:banghead:
can anyone plz tell me how to do that???????

@randhawaharjyot
Are images extensions in capital letters ? ( As .JPG instead of .jpg)
As my friend tried uploading image with capital extension (xxxx.JPG) but it threw an error message saying to upload only .jpg, .gif and .png files... so he changed them to small letters ( xxxx.JPG to xxxx.jpg) and then uploaded them.... and it was successfully uploaded.
Try it, it might work for U...
others, any other suggestion...

Earlier I had applied online for FMS .............. they had put up their link but it was not workin........some server error.
After so many days of waitin for online application finally today i applied online.Today I thought mayb just try applying online instead of going to the bank,staying in queue whole lotta trouble.
After I submitted there came a webpage for payment with button "Pay Now". When I clicked it leads to the Visa mastercard page where you can pay ur fees via credit/debit card. I finished with the payment and at the end there came a page with all the following data....
Transaction Amount:
Receipt Number:
Authorization ID:
so on.....something like that.........
But after that.......dead end........don't know wat 2 do.:-(
Or is it over ????? I don't know.......After this wat???
I thought mayb they will intimate via e-mail immediately but did'nt arrive.I am hopin it will arrive soon.
I am sure those FMS guys are working out there so let's wait and see.

@Sushant,

It is mentioned in FAQs that we need to send our category certificates to FMS.
My question is if I submit the online application, I do not receive any application number (or any such number), so what all should be sent with the Certificate so that FMS identifies from it about the sender.
(I hope I am able to put my query to you clearly).

Plz reply....

Hi Puys,

I finally gathered courage and applied for FMS 2010 online. Everything went very smoothly.
I paid the amount through the payment gateway and got a reference/receipt number for the same.
So i guess i am done with the application part.
Now i can continue with my prep with a relieved mind.

@sushant
what do we need to do once we get the reference no. for payment?
secondly i will be completing my bachelor's in 2010 but there is no option for 2010 completion latest year it gives is 2009 so i left it as default as per you guidance?
do i need to worry?

Regarding problem 2..can smbdy suggest in which level a software engg will fall

peogrip Says

Online link for FMS 2010 is up again.

Yep, the link is up again and is given at the end of the page
http://www.fms.edu/programmes/fulltime.php

Well in the start of this thread, I have mentioned 5 problems. Some of them are corrected, some are till there. (I had a go on registration with dummy values again. Will try the real stuff once I scan fingerprint and will let you all know. ) Let us have a look.

Problem 1: 'Percentage Marks in Masters degree' and 'Percentage Marks in Professional Degree' being compulsory fields
This issue is corrected now. You can leave the default 0.00 values untouched and it will cause no problems.

Problem 2: Designation of Work experience contains only the options - 'Supervisory Level, Executive Level, Sr. Executive Level, General Manager & Above'
Problem is still there. They haven't changed the choices. So we are stuck with the 4 above given choices.

Problem 3: The Address field is a single line Text Box which wont accept even commas.
Problem is still there. We will have to live with it. Though, I dont see this as a big issue.

Problem 4: No mention of the resolution, file size, image size etc of Image, Signature and Thumb impression to be uploaded
Still no mention is there about these details.

Problem 5: After submission, the page is not going to Payment Gateway
This problem seems solved. Now, after submission we are redirected to a Payment Gateway through which we can pay through Visa or Mastercard.


And I guess that a previous post by a senior of FMS is helpful in the case of problems 2 and 4.

IMPORTANT:
Hey everyone, I talked to the authorities today and at least a few things got clarified:

3) Digital photo/sign etc. : For these, there is no pre-specified format. Just scan your signature and thumbprint. The photo of course should be a passport photo.

I have been told that this form is primarily for the purpose of the written test application only. If you get a GD/PI call, you will be asked to fill a separate form, wherein you can fill the correct, precise details.

I have been told that wherever you find some trouble, you can leave the area blank, it will not be rejected and hence not a problem.

Online link for FMS 2010 is up again.

Hi,

Purchased FMS form from SBI but there are some fields that are irrelevent for me...like...masters degree,professional degree,etc....Can i leave them incomplete?...t'would be great if somebody can shed some light on this...thanks...

You need not fill master's degree field if you do not have a master's degree. Simply Leave it blank

Does anyone know from which SBI branch in NOIDA i can get the FMS form??
Its only mentioned NOIDA on the FMS site.

Go to SBI branch locator
STATE BANK OF INDIA :: INDIA's LARGEST BANK

Give city as Noida. It will list the details (including phone number) of all the 3 branches of SBI in Noida. So U can call them and check. And anyway, only one of them has branch name as 'Noida'. Others have slightly diff name. So u can start calling with this branch. If its not available there, u call the other two branches.

Branch Name: NOIDA
Address: B-138, SECTOR-2,
City/State: NOIDA, UTTAR PRADESH
Pincode: 201206
Phone: (120) 2550408

Does anyone know from which SBI branch in NOIDA i can get the FMS form??
Its only mentioned NOIDA on the FMS site.

IMPORTANT:
Hey everyone, I talked to the authorities today and at least a few things got clarified:

1) Payment options: There is no draft option this time for applying to FMS
2) Online Registration: Online Registration has NOT started yet. The payment gateways have not yet been activated. The Reference numbers which people might have obtained after filling in their details is Void.

Once the payment option is activated, all the people who had done registration online and got a ref no. will be sent a mail, informing them that they will have to re-register and pay the fees. (Keep tracking the website for the same, don't wait for the mail.)

The entire online registration and payment process is expected to be ready in 2 days. Given the current Diwali break, expect it to be up by Wednesday

3) Digital photo/sign etc. : For these, there is no pre-specified format. Just scan your signature and thumbprint. The photo of course should be a passport photo.

4) Work ex : Regarding the duration of work-ex being asked till 31/8/10, I would ask you all to use your best judgement and estimate the number of months.

I have been told that this form is primarily for the purpose of the written test application only. If you get a GD/PI call, you will be asked to fill a separate form, wherein you can fill the correct, precise details.

I have been told that wherever you find some trouble, you can leave the area blank, it will not be rejected and hence not a problem.

5) Masters and Professional Degree scores: Type in 0, as mentioned in an earlier post.

Moral of the story: I would recommend you to get a form from an SBI counter, it would be a much easier process, and convenient.

Hope this helps,

Cheers!

According to the FAQ of FMS Website , there is no option to apply through DD this year. There are only two modes of application
1. Buy the form from select SBI branches
2. Apply online and pay using credit or debit card

So I guess, most of us have to wait till they start the online registration.

hi,

But the frustrating thing is that they have given just one line of info in the FAQ which is "You may also register online and pay through Demand Draft." for what purpose then they have kept this line??
If seniors can specifically enquire this point to the authorities it will be a great help.

regards,
Subhadip.

dere is no sop kind of thing in fms envelop wich i got frm sbi.......
do v hv 2 giv sop dis time or not.........if yes were is it mentiond???????

Okay guyz, Easy!!

I understand that there are too many problems in the FMS application form process, especially the online part. This is actually not the first time that the process has gone online, but last year, when we filled the forms, there wasnt a single problem. Things seem to have gone in a disarray here.

Give me some time. I am trying to contact the concerned person to clarify all your queries. I request all of you to hold off your online registration processes till about Wednesday next week. Given the short Diwali Vacation, I will need that much time to clarify things.

Since the last date to fill the forms is Nov 20, I guess this should not be a problem. I assure you all that we, your seniors are trying our best to smoothen the process for you. All I ask for, is some time.

In the meantime, please do post all the problems which you encounter. I will be using this thread to prepare a list of problems to ask the examination incharge.

Cheers!

Hi,

Please let me know the official website for FMS and what is late date for submitting applications?

Site: Faculty of Management Studies
FAQ: FMS.edu
Last Date: 20/11/2009

please try to fill offline, as there may be some problems like uploading the photo, signature, left thumb impression.
Whose technical details like resolution, size, etc.. are not mentioned.

i just remembered the mistakes of jmet 2010 online application. then again sent offline photograph to them, but here in FMS there might be no such provisions.

so try to apply offline, as there may be very huge crowd, so dont go for last minute rushes...

If SBI branch is not far away from one's place, it is better to go and buy the form. Others like me just have to wait for online registration problems to be rectified.

Hi,

Please let me know the official website for FMS and what is late date for submitting applications?

hi,
Any one has info regarding Demand Draft mode of payment of online application fee?


P.S: Seniors if you can please enquire the authorities regarding this it will be of great help, because the nearest SBI branch is 100 kms from my house.

Got it confirmed from the authorities. Those who have bought the form from SBI counter, need not send any copies of admit card. I wonder, why they have put such a thing on the envelope's checklist then !!
Anyway, got some piece of releif now..

Be patient yaar. They are not running a customer care service there. Nd it is a Govt intitute too. Things will go in its own pace. There is no point in we expecting them to rush. And anyway, what is the need for hurry. There is lot of time left to register for FMS.

Hi Kamal,

My doubt is this:- i have been asked to enclose 3 copies of the admission ticket but there is nothing but the OMR sheet in which there are entries for photograph, name, address, thumb impression. Now, do i have to get this part photocopied 3 times and fill in the details, photo, thumb impression and mail it along with the OMR or what ?????

Guys in FAQ (39) of FMS its written that there are 3 ways for applying,i.e

1- Form through SBI COUNTER.
2- Online submission of form,and 3rd is
3- CAN REGISTER,AND PAY THROUGH DD.
What is 3rd way? Please help.

this has been later modified to only 2 (physical format through SBI, online Which not yet kept in their website)

Still no votes for 'I have already applied online.' in the Poll. I wonder if we get to see any vote for that choice in the near future

how can you expect someone to complete their online registration process, up to this there is no correct link for that in fms.edu
so its their fault....

The link will be put up shortly. Inconvenience caused is deeply regretted.

Patience is the buzzword... an art to be mastered by aspiring managers. Cheers.

not irrelevant, i think this is the best way here.. if they are dumb enough not to see these problems can come up while designing the simplest of the webpage...then at least let us be smart enough for not using this online method and simply buy the form for SBI..the test may be experiment for them not us

@steveaustin
I have filled the online form using some dummy values. There was no statement of purpose or any other questions that need a subjective answer. Only the academic, personal and work-ex details were asked. :-P

At least somebody knocked some sense into their heads. An SOP can be kept for the second stage of selection process.. GD/PI.. for those who get the second stage call. Why bother puys at this point unnecessarily.

viswanath01 Says

after getting the reference number WHATS NEXT????

You better send an email to admission officer asking what to do next. The mailid is given in the FAQ page of FMS - FMS.edu . Better still, you can call them. Phone number is also provided there. Anyway, let it b easy for u. I m reproducing the details here.

But if sop is required.. i ll try to fill it online..
