- 3 additional marks for gender diversity will be given to female applicants during the shortlisting stage
- 10th and 12th marks are being considered as parameters ( in addition to CAT/GD/PI ) during the final selection stage.
This year's admission process for the MBA program comprises two stages.

An additional 3% of the maximum aggregate marks shall be awarded to the women candidates who appear for the interview while drawing the list of selected candidates.
To conclude, one important observation about this year's selection process is that the total weightage for parameters which are controllable ( CAT,GD,Extempore and PI ) in the final selection stage has been kept at a whopping 90%. This ensures that the applicants, who do not have a good academic profile or work experience can still aspire to join FMS Delhi by preparing well for CAT 2017, GD,Extempore and PI rounds.
