Fms or iim which is better

So, here comes the new series in Compare Business Schools — Fact check. But, many students prefer FMS Delhi over these top institutes if they have an option to select between these. Does it matter to students? Advantage is not just the almost-nil fees; the average compensation offered by FMS Delhi is also at par with the IIMs in consideration. One does not need to pay EMI for his loans and on top of it, also enjoy the same salary offered to a pass-out of these top IIMs.

There is just one humble seminar hall, two large lecture halls, class rooms, a small canteen and a small lawn. There is, however the Delhi University infrastructure, which includes the Commonwealth games stadium and sports facilities!

But the haves or have nots of infrastructure is not what is important, the necessity of infrastructure for quality education is what is important. I think great infrastructure is like an expensive watch, its good to have, but a less expensive one tells the time just as well! Add to that living expenses, food, alcohol, travel and a lavish lifestyle, it will add up to at the max 3 lakhs, you can manage with as little as 1.

Basically you don't need a student loan. The IIMs cost anywhere between 12 and 20 lakhs plus what you spend on yourself and you graduate with a monthly EMI of 40k for 5 years or so.

So if you get the same placement, the ROI is just not comparable! And the gap is large. Learning philosophy at FMS is very different from that at other schools. FMS is more about experiential learnings. Apart from a strong focus on academic and theoretical learning, there is a focus is on live projects, industry interactions, corporate competitions and running the institution FMS students collectively literally run the college, from what equipment needs to be bought for which class to what branding initiatives should be taken to which new courses should be introduced.

Plus you are in DU so there is a lot of opportunity for inter-departmental learning. It is a well rounded experience. Bottom line is that the school produces as good if not better MBAs as any other school, proof of which is that famous alumni list I spoke about in the previous point.

However, almost all students stay within a radius of Besides you are in a city like Delhi and that to in the DU campus, unlike most IIMs which are at the outskirts of the cities they are stationed in.

Oh and the so called "academic rigor" at FMS is lesser than at the IIMs as FMS believes in experiential learning more than mugging from text books see the learnings section above. At FMS you have the opportunity to be a part of a democratically run and student controlled institution which is an amazing experience. Both guarantee you good organisations to work for post completion of their MBA course. Although, FMS does not receive offers from the top consultations strategy companies, the chances of entering top companies and organizations remain at the same level as IIM institutes.

The only advantage that FMS Delhi has in terms of placements is the low strength of the batch, which reduces the level of competition. So, even an average performer is highly likely to be well placed, which may not always be possible at the IIMs. Mentioned above were the five comparison factors which can help you make a choice between the institutes. Although, the focus of each person is on a different factor and parameter, the priority, in the end, boils down to the placements offered by the institution.

Therefore, you can analyse and make your academic and institutional choice based on the above factors and your priorities and personal preferences.

However, it goes without saying that both the IIMs and FMS are great management institutes offering an excellent career graph and promising roles in the corporate world. Both the IIMs and FMS institutes have their own brand value, recognition and outreach, and therefore, joining either of them will a win-win situation for the students.
