FMS Delhi MBA Admission 2027: Fees, CAT Cutoff, Courses & Placements

FMS Delhi MBA Overview

Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), University of Delhi was established in 1954. Its flagship MBA Full-Time programme is a two-year programme designed around a strong analytical foundation and academic flexibility. The first year covers core management areas and ends with a summer internship, while the second year allows students to build their academic and professional focus through core and elective courses.

For Indian applicants, admission to the full-time MBA is based on CAT. The 2026-28 information bulletin used a weighted CAT score for shortlisting, followed by a Statement of Purpose discussion, extempore and Personal Interview for shortlisted candidates.

FMS Delhi MBA Admission Dates 2027-29

FMS has not yet published the complete official admission calendar for the 2027-29 MBA batch in the sources reviewed. The dates below are therefore tentative planning estimates based on the previous FMS admission cycle. Candidates should replace them with the official dates once the next FMS notification is released.

Courses Offered at FMS Delhi

FMS currently lists the following academic programmes on its official website. The full-time MBA is the programme relevant to CAT-based MBA aspirants; the executive programmes have separate eligibility and admission routes.

For the rest of this page, “FMS MBA” refers to the two-year MBA Full-Time programme, unless stated otherwise.

FMS Delhi MBA Fees 2027-29

The latest official FMS Information Bulletin for the 2026-28 MBA Full-Time programme states that the semester fee is approximately ₹60,818 per semester. FMS also states that fees can be revised before or during the programme.

*₹2,43,272 is a simple calculation of ₹60,818 × 4 semesters. FMS publishes the semester figure and notes that fees may be revised; it should not be treated as a confirmed 2027-29 total. The MSA page separately lists an annual MSA fee of ₹52,000, subject to revision.

Fee bifurcation: what is clearly available

• Academic / programme fee: approximately ₹60,818 per semester in the latest 2026-28 bulletin.
• MSA fee: ₹52,000 per year as currently listed by FMS, subject to revision.
• Hostel and mess: separate from the MBA semester fee and dependent on University of Delhi hostel allotment.
• Personal costs: students should separately budget for food where applicable, travel, laptop, books/stationery and other personal expenses.

FMS Delhi MBA Eligibility Criteria

For the latest published full-time MBA eligibility criteria, a candidate must have completed a Bachelor's Degree after at least 12 years of formal schooling. The minimum graduation marks are:

Applicants with CGPA scores must provide the official CGPA-to-percentage conversion table of their university or institution. Final-year candidates must fulfil the prescribed eligibility conditions when results are declared and submit the required documents before the applicable admission deadline.

FMS Delhi MBA Admission Process 2027-29

1. Register for CAT 2026

For the full-time MBA, FMS uses CAT for the Indian applicant route. The 2026-28 bulletin specifically states that applicants who did not take CAT 2025 would not be considered for admission. The equivalent requirement for 2027-29 should be checked in the next bulletin.

2. Apply separately to FMS

Taking CAT does not replace the FMS application. Candidates need to complete the separate FMS MBA application within the institute's published window.

3. Shortlisting through a weighted CAT score

For the 2026-28 cycle, FMS calculated a weighted CAT score using VARC 40%, DILR 30% and QA 30%. The bulletin also states that an additional 5 marks were added to the weighted score for women candidates for interview shortlisting.

4. Interview process

Shortlisted candidates go through three individual components: Statement of Purpose discussion, Extempore and Personal Interview. The 2026-28 bulletin does not list a group discussion as a selection component.

5. Final selection

The 2026-28 bulletin also states that an additional 5 marks were awarded to women candidates who appeared for the interview. These weights are the latest published structure and should be rechecked for 2027-29 when the next bulletin is issued.

FMS Delhi CAT Cutoff 2027: What the Data Shows

FMS does not publish a single guaranteed CAT percentile cutoff for admission. Its published process uses a weighted CAT score for shortlisting. Therefore, raw CAT percentile should not be presented as the official FMS cutoff.

Latest published selection mechanism

For the 2026-28 cycle, public reporting of the official shortlist gave category-wise composite-score cutoffs, including 46.739 for General, 37.031 for EWS, 35.189 for OBC, 29.370 for SC and 23.140 for ST. These numbers are composite scores, not CAT percentiles. The published FMS selection framework explains how that composite is constructed.

What students report in Reddit discussions

Recent Reddit discussions from CAT aspirants commonly mention 99+ CAT percentile when discussing FMS calls, but these are individual experiences rather than an official cutoff. One June 2026 discussion included a user reporting that 99.5 was considered a practical target, while another discussion showed candidates discussing calls around the high-99 range. Such comments are useful for understanding candidate expectations, but they are not a substitute for FMS's composite-score calculation.
