Excerpts from the MBAUniverse.com interview with Dr M L Singla, Dean FMS, Delhi follows:

 

CAT 2014 Exam Notification Announced

 

 

You have recently taken over as the Dean of FMS. Please share your vision and future priorities as the dean of this top rated B school.

 

To my mind, what needs to be done at this juncture is do more of what we have been doing. That’s creating excellence in all activities of FMS, be it Teaching, Training, Research or Consultancy. We are very seriously working on getting more serious about the business of education at FMS.

 

An initiative termed as “ADD” – Ambience, Discipline and Delivery is driving our efforts at FMS at present. Excellence in delivery is the pull factor.

 

FMS, as a University B school is highly ranked and ROI is also high at FMS in Comparison to other University affiliated B schools. Whom you would Attribute it to? 
 
FMS has consistently ranked among one of the Top 5 B-Schools of the country for the last 2 decades or so. As a matter of fact, it is the Top University Based –School in the country. Given the meagre infrastructure that University department work from, this is no small a feat.

 

Our alumni, faculty and students have done wonderfully well in terms of  Performance to resources ratio. Many a times, I have heard that FMS is the highest ROI B-School not only in India, possibly in the world.

 

FMS is doing better than any other University affiliated B school. What are the contributing factors to this success

 

Many more University based schools are also doing quite well in terms of Management Education. We can definitely talk about FMS doing better because of factors like:

 

1. Global Brand Equity of the University of Delhi

2. Extremely supportive academic leadership at the University

3. Locational advantage and industry support

4. Unmatched faculty resource – both permanent as well as guest

5. Outstanding Alumni Network

6. Excellent students who take admission at FMS

7. Rich traditions and institutional values

 

Will CAT scores continue to be the FMS admission criteria in future or it proposes to conduct its own entrance exam as used to happen earlier?
           
FMS has conducted its own entrance test for the last few decades (except for the last three years when we joined CAT). FMS test had its own personality which was quite established nationally. For the current years for admissions of 2015-16, we have decided to continue with CAT. Subsequently, we will be reviewing the situation and a decision would be taken in consultation with all stakeholders in this regard.

 

When does FMS propose to open its admission applications process for session 2015-16?

 

We are in the process of finalizing the details and will be coming out very soonwith the time lines etc. We can expect on-line registration to open in a few weeks’ time.

 

Please share USPs of FMS

 

We all know that FMS is the Top University based b-school which has consistently ranked among the Top B-Schools of the country. Some of the USPs of FMS, as industry recognizes, could be listed as under:

 

- Integral part of the Best Indian University

 

- Produces “down to earth” graduates

 

-Very transparent processes of admissions, examinations, placements

 

-Ethical school known for creating value based MBAs
