FMS Delhi University: CAT 2024 MBA Admission Details, Diversity Stats, and Course Options
The Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) at the University of Delhi (DU) is celebrating its 70th year of excellence. It is one of India's premier business schools that offers business programs at a relatively low cost. It is also one of the first university-based business schools. The institution was established in 1954 under the leadership of Prof. A Dasgupta with a three-year part-time postgraduate management. In 2024, FMS was ranked second by the Indian Institutional Ranking Framework (IIRF).
MBA at FMS
The FMS offers the following courses–
- MBA full-time regular programme
- MBA executive for working professionals with a minimum of five years of experience
- MBA executive healthcare administration; and PhD programme
- Several other management development programmes (MDPs) for corporate workers.
“I would like to highlight that we are the first institution in the country to start the executive MBA in healthcare administration programme from 1974 and it is the 50th year of the programme. As a pioneer of management education in the country, this is also a unique initiative of FMS because, at that time, nobody would have thought about management education for healthcare professionals”, said A Venkat Raman, Head and Dean of FMS in a recent interview.
FMS CAT Test
“When we had our own test, we used to get students with diverse backgrounds. With CAT, initially, we have had problems with the predominance of engineers and boys in MBA courses. Over the years, we made certain adjustments in the weightage of different components of CAT that helped us improve our batch diversity” Raman said on challenges faced with CAT Examination.
The institution used to conduct a separate test for admissions which allowed a lot more exclusivity. After 2011, it adopted CAT to align with the rest of the institutions.
