Placement Report

Batch of 2014-16

Placement Convenors Message

It gives me immense pleasure to convey that the placements at the Faculty of
Management Studies have been successfully completed. Once again this successful
endeavour is a reflection of the academic rigour at the institute along with the
outstanding aptitude and quality of the students. It goes a long way to prove the trust
and the confidence that the corporate world bestows on the institute and the students
of FMS.
Our average salary for the 2014-2016 batch has gone up significantly. The process has
been facilitated by the availability of a diverse pool of students for the variety of
profiles offered by the companies across different domains. Transparency in the entire
process made it possible that the students and recruiting companies had the
opportunity to meet the mutual aspirations and expectations.
We would like to thank all stakeholders involved, as without their unconditional
support and help, this process would not have been completed effectively. Our
heartfelt gratitude to all the recruiters who exhibited immense faith in the skills and
aptitude of the students of FMS Delhi.
We would also like to express our thanks to our fellow faculty members, students and
the illustrious alumni who have been a great source of support and encouragement in
the smooth conduct of the placement process. Last, but not the least, a word of
gratitude to our Dean, Prof. M. L. Singla, without whose guidance and faith in all of
us, this process would not have been completed successfully.
Prof. Kavita Singh
Placement Convener

Placement Overview
The placement process at FMS Delhi was divided into two parts, the lateral and the
final placement processes. Students with greater than 18 months of work experience
prior to their MBA participated in the Lateral placement process in December 2015.
Subsequently, the Final placement process for the remaining students was held in
January 2016.
To ensure a smooth and transparent process for the companies, some important
measures were taken. Firstly, a slotting exercise was done to democratically decide
when a company would come in the placement process. Also, for the second year in a
row, a scheduling algorithm was run in the placement process to optimally match
the company and students preferences during the recruitment exercise.
To encourage entrepreneurship, FMS provides a placement holiday to students
who wish to pursue their own ventures and allows them to participate in a
subsequent placement process for up to two years, in case they want to avail the
opportunity. In a bid to encourage the sharpest minds of the country to venture into
the social sector, FMS also signed an MoU with Teach for India (TFI) that allowed
FMS students to enroll for the TFI program with deferred placements.
At FMS, there is a strong culture of experiential learning and students supplement
their academic learning with practical insights from the corporate world. Nestled in a
strategic location that is at the crossroads of busy corporate and student activity, FMS
hosted over 200 business leaders in the last year to facilitate a comprehensive
learning curve for its students. This is truly reflected in the dominance of its students
in the best and the most exclusive corporate competitions in the country.
