Known for being the first to offer management training for professional managers in the form of Part-Time MBA Programme, Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi has come a long way since its inception in 1955. An average salary of INR 12.24 Lakhs per annum
(which is 38% above the FMS's commitment to its Class of 2007) and 40% international placements this year stand witnesses to this fact. Moreover, as a founding member of AMDISA, the institute boasts of a rich history of international associations with the likes of INSEAD, Manchester Business School and UC, Berkeley.

The history of the entrance exam for 2-Year Full-Time MBA Programme is no different, and for that matter, less challenging from that of the institute itself. FMS had always offered surprises to the people aspiring to do an MBA. The greatest, though, happened four years back when Business Awareness Section was done away with, in FMS 2003. This, coupled with a totally unexpected increase in the total number of questions from 150 to 175, gave real jitters to the ones taking FMS in January 2004.

The only saving grace in FMS is that it does not have sectional cut-offs. Hence, a student who has one weaker area can do better in other sections to create balance and achieve overall cut-offs.

Therefore, it becomes important at this stage, when you have done almost everything to excel in the exam scheduled for January 13, 2008, to look at the FMSs of the past and try to learn from the trend it follows.
