Honestly speaking, it might be very difficult to secure admission in the aforementioned B Schools with low academic scores. However, these are not the only B schools in India providing excellent Management education. These B Schools require a decent academic background with a good CAT score. The list is as follows
Please bear in mind that getting admission to any BSchool depends on your individual profiles and not on the policies of the institute.
I will narrate to you the experience of my sister who thought she could never make it into FMS. But she tried anyway and as luck would have it she made it!
In 2016 my sister did not fill FMS application form as she thought she wouldn’t be accepted. With a percentile of 96.54, she got into MDI. Soon after she got interested in consulting, she rejected MDI and with little hope fill the application form for FMS the next year. With a CAT percentile of 99.21, she received an interview call. Almost all the other candidates had a better percentile than her. Yet she did not give up and went into the interview room with full confidence and a positive attitude. Amazingly she ranked 3rd out of 1010 candidates for GD/PI/Extempore Rounds. After a waitlist, she finally made it into FMS Delhi.
Once admitted she never took this opportunity for granted and made the best out of her MBA years. So never give up even before trying!
If you are concerned about your past academic records then rest assured for the final placements don’t usually pay much attention to past academic records.
MBA is much more than just learning and writing your answers and scoring good marks. It is more about applying logic and increasing your decision-making skills. So to compensate for your poor past academic performance, become a part of the managerial committee and improve your resume. Enhancing your decision-making and managerial skills will increase your chances of getting a good placement than your academic background.
Also, FMS in itself is a brand name that will fetch you a good package.
It is not a brainer that an MBA from FMS Delhi is a much better choice than IIT Delhi. IIT Delhi's MBA program is not even close to that if FMS and both are poles apart. If you want your MBA degree to be valuable enough to shape your career drastically, FMS is the one for you.
Here are a few pointers as to why I am so strongly in favor of FMS Delhi:
Ranking: One of the most valued ranking systems, IIRF ranks DMS IITD MBA 14 out of 44 colleges in India while FMS is ranked 5 out of 44 colleges in India in 2023.
Fees: IIT Delhi offers MBA at around INR 10.4 Lakhs (for 2 years) while FMS has very low fees of around INR 96,000 per year. This is almost 1/4th of the fees of the MBA program offered at IIT Delhi despite being way ahead in terms of brand value.
Placements: Being one of the premier B-schools in the country, it offers excellent placements that almost par with the top IIMs and its placements are nowhere comparable to IIT Delhi’s placements.

Many times people forgo offers from top IIMs just for FMS because of no financial burden.
It may seem inappropriate to reveal the recruiter's name, but the company was a bulge bracket investment bank and is a regular recruiter at FMS Delhi.
It only hires from the country's Top 3 Business Schools for its coveted front-end Investment Banking position. The company only hires through the summer placement process from three Indian business schools whose Finance curriculum, practical exposure, and candidate quality meet the company's high expectations, which include a salary of INR 66 LPA.
The company typically hires candidates with Outstanding academic records from Old IITs/BITs/CAs/Top Commerce Colleges and conducts interviews that can be very challenging, especially when focusing on the candidate's business and financial intellect. Interns who can manage an 80-100 hour work week during their summer internship while consistently delivering high-quality analysis, ideas, and presentations are offered a Pre-Placement offer for their coveted Front End Investment Banking role. During the two-month summer internship, the company pays a stipend of Rs 2 lakh per month.
After receiving an MBA from FMS Delhi, life became quite simple owing to the following reason
