Why are Delhi School of Economics and other better ROI colleges (like JBIMS and many more) for an MBA not as popular as FMS?
I have a friend who completed his MBA from the Delhi School of Economics. This answer is based on his opinions about why colleges with better ROI like DSE and JBIMS fail to compete with FMS. He has listed a few reasons for the lack of popularity of such B-schools:
- Establishment: DSE MBA first began in 1986 whereas FMS was established in 1954. So the course and the institute are the oldest in the FMS case.
- Alumni: Being an older Institute, FMS has a much stronger alumni network that has built a certain level of credibility in the corporate world. This criterion is missing in the case of DSE.
- Courses offered: Until 2015, DSE offered courses like Master of Organization Development and Human Resources and Master of International Business instead of MBA. Firstly these specializations are not at par with Finance and Marketing. Secondly, MBA has more value than MHROD and MHIB.
- Industrial relations: FMS is much more exposed to the industry and has excellent relations with the corporate world owing to a large number of its alumni.
- Faculty: The faculty is almost similar as both DSE and FMS operate under DU. But the shortcomings are compensated for at FMS via the compulsory guest lectures by industry experts.
- Crowd: The extremely high cutoff ensures only the most talented people enter FMS thereby increasing the quality of education and peer learning experience at FMS. This aspect too is pretty weak in the case of DSE.
It is because of these strong factors that B Schools like JBIMS fail to match the level of popularity enjoyed by FMS.
Why are Delhi School of Economics and other better ROI colleges like JBIMS and many more for an MBA not as popular as FMS?
Here are some of the reasons that should be mentioned:
- DSE MBA was founded in 1986, whereas FMS was founded in 1954.
- An older institute has more alumni to leverage for placements and thus more alumni to build credibility in the institute branding.
- Until 2015, DSE offered a "Master" degree in HR/OD and IB, titled Master of Organization Development and Human Resources and Master of International Business. Two things stand out: i) HR/OD and IB are niche areas to enter in comparison to an MBA-Fin and MBA-Marketing. ii) A MHROD/MIB has lower popularity than an MBA.
- FMS has significantly more industry exposure than DSE, owing primarily to alumni/family of alumni/friends of alumni.
- Quality of Faculty: Though both FMS and DSE are run by DU, what DU lacks in academic-focused faculty is more than made up for in FMS, which has regular mandatory industry guest lecturers.
- The higher cut-off in FMS (relative to DSE) year after year ensures (though is not guaranteed) a certain quality benchmark of students coming in, leading to increased competition and peer learning. Something DSE could think about.
Should I do a BBE from Delhi University or bachelors in economics from Delhi School of Economics?
DSE doesn’t offer bachelor's in Economics. However, most other colleges under DU offer BA in Economics.
BBE is a more professional course and focuses on the application in business scenarios. While BA Eco covers the theoretical aspects of Economics. If you want a career in academics or want to pursue research in the field, BA Eco will be the right choice.

Between JNU and Delhi School Of Economics, which option will be the best to pursue a PhD in economics for an individual?
Ph.D. is different from other degrees in which you learn and take exams. During your Ph.D. you need a research guide who takes an interest in your work and is involved in active research in the same field as you.
Unless your guide is active in research, they can not guide you. Here research refers to publishable research in good journals.
Your field of research will determine the better option out of the two to pursue your Ph.D. in Economics. If say, you wish to work on Marxism/Communism or related topics, CESP JNU is the right choice for you. You will find ample assistance in JNU.
If you wish to work in Micro Theory such as on Contract theory or Industrial Organization, DSE will be the right option. There are more faculty members in DSE than CITD JNU who work in these areas.
If you wish to work on DSGE literature ( Macro), the guide will exist as a formality and you will be on your own for the most part. This field of research is not pursued by most in India and you will mostly have to rely on yourself.
Also, if you wish to work in the corporate after your Ph.D. , join DSE as it offers very good placements. JNU does not offer on campus placements. The economics at JNU though, is very enriching. There you will be exposed to a variety of subjects, debates, etc.
You must choose between JNU and DSE for your Ph.D. Economics, based on your personal preference and your field of research.
