The decision comes in the wake of refusal by Delhi University (DU) to help FMS conduct
the entrance test scheduled for December 4, 2011
Selections for the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) will
be done through Common Admission Test (CAT) 2011 this year.
The decision comes in the wake of refusal by Delhi University (DU) to help FMS conduct
the entrance test scheduled for December 4, 2011.The B-school which was loath to
join CAT decided to do so on Monday under the given circumstances. The teachers
and a section of students feel that joining CAT will dent the institute’s image
and affect its brand value.
The entrance test for FMS became a bone of contention after DU on August 25 communicated
to FMS that the university has decided that it will not be able to help FMS in conducting
its entrance test on December 04, 2011, as the university is severely strained by
the burden it has to bear because departments are conducting their own examination
on a national basis. Further, the university advised FMS to join any well known
agency/ body which conducts admission test in the field of management such as CAT.
An emergency meeting was convened on August 29 where 22 faculty members deliberated
on the issue. The B-school decided not to join CAT and approach the university again to continue
with the present arrangement for at least one more year, and be allowed to join
GRE/ GMAT.
