Academics & Faculty : Class Details - Classes start from 9:00 and continue up to 4:00 PM. Duration of classes is 1 hour each, wherein we have presentations, case studies and other assignments/ discussions. 1st year all courses are mandates, in the 2nd year, the student can choose his/her electives basis what he/she wants to major in. Course Details - FMS is mostly known for its marketing curriculum, given that all marketing big wigs come for campus placement and offer good roles. Resources - FMS has a library, albeit, not an exhaustive centre. However, since it is a part of the Delhi University, the students can get access to the university library. The method of teaching is mostly classroom based. Most professors believe in having discussions rather than dictating notes and having a one sided communication. Professors are easily accessible, even outside teaching hours. They're quite keen on having an open communication with the students.

Fees & Scholarships : Since the admission through FMS is through a competitive entrance exam - CAT - there are no scholarships on offer. However, FMS does have reservation for socially backwards classes like OBC/SC/ ST. Fees of FMS is quite low, around 10k for the school year (hostel/ PG separate). There are no financing options available in the college. This is not applicable for FMS.

College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : FMS has a very basic infrastructure. It is essentially one building with several classrooms and a small canteen. It doesn't offer hostel facility since it is part of the Delhi University. Students generally live in PGs/ rent flats in the neighborhood and a few select ones get hostel (basis rank/merit). There are no sports facilities, arenas, halls, etc as part of the campus Since FMS is on the north campus which is the heart of the Delhi university, it is very well connected with public transport. Metro connectivity is available, even rickshaws and cycle rickshaws. Parking is available for the day scholars who drive to the campus.

Clubs & Associations : There are multiple professional clubs which the students can opt to join. The most important one is the placement committee which is responsible for placing the students, both for internship and finals. Apart from that, there are the following - - marketing club: responsible for marketing events/ activities (guest lectures, etc) - finance club: responsible for finance related events/ activities (guest lectures, etc) - HR club: responsible for HR related events/ activities (guest lectures, etc) - e cell: entrepreneurship club to associate with start ups - media club: responsible for how FMS is projected in the media (social and print) Sports culture is not strong at FMS. One inter-college tournament between the colleges of DU takes place, mostly for football and cricket. Sometimes small intra-FMS tournament like badminton is organized.
