Q. Were you able to get the school of your choice or did you compromise and opted for the best option that was open/available to you?
A. FMS was among the few top choices I had, and am happy to be here.

Q. Did work experience help in getting the choice of your school and also in dealing with the curriculum?
A. Yes, to some extent. In dealing with the curriculum, work experience allows us to connect and relate better to some of the examples and cases presented in class, putting them in perspective of our own experience.

Q. After joining the school, did you ever wish that you should have known certain more things about the school before you became part of it? What are these ?
A. No, nothing specific.

Q. What are the toughest area to handle in your studies?
A. Coming from an engineering background, accounting was an obviously tough area to handle because of unfamiliarity with the subject.

Q. Which one is your best subject?
A. Right now, it is too early to say which subject is my best subject. I could probably say that Interpersonal Skills and Team Building, and Marketing Management are the two subjects where I feel slightly comfortable.

Q. Is there stress level during studies?
A. Not stress per se, but the schedules are hectic and make us work under pressure of a lot of deadlines. But it is not stressful at all, and working in groups with friends makes it easier and more enjoyable.

Q. What's the best and most admirable feature of your institute?
A. The campus and the crowd is probably the best feature of FMS. The campus is beautiful, and full of lush greenery and is very quiet and serene. And the crowd is composed of people from all walks of life, be it freshers or people with work-experience, from fields ranging from Education, IT, Finance, and many more. The variety of opinions, perspectives, approaches that you get here is simply amazing.

Q. Scope of development in your existing curriculum.
A. A bit too early again to talk about curricular changes for me, given that I don't have much idea about the second year course.

Q. Getting into and sailing through a B-school is easier for a Science graduate than for someone from Humanities background. Your comments, please.
A. I would say that getting into a B-School is not too difficult for a person from Humanities background. Of course, he would need to justify his area shift, like a science graduate is needed to do. I believe that the problem a Humanities graduate might face is more on the lines of sailing through the B-School. The subjects, almost all of them would be very different from what they are used to, in terms of content as well as approach. Of course, with hard work, anything can be done.

Q. Tips for those who wish to do MBA from your school.
A. In the written test, understand the importance of having no sectional cutoffs (FMS only has a sectional eligibility at 50%ile in each section). Hence, it is very important for you to maximize your scores in the section where you are strong, giving lower proportion of time to weaker sections, just enough to clear the 50%ile barrier.
