The FMS Delhi MBA form for the 2027–29 batch is open now. Applications opened on 26 October 2026, and the last date reported is 25 November 2026, four days before CAT 2026 on 29 November. You apply on fms.edu, pay ₹1,000 (₹350 for SC, ST and PwD applicants), and you need a CAT 2026 registration. Your CAT score is not needed yet, because CAT hasn’t happened.
This guide covers the dates, who can apply, the exact steps, what to keep ready, and what FMS does after you submit.

Dates marked tentative come from third-party reports. FMS has not confirmed them in the information bulletin.
Don’t wait for an extension. Last year FMS moved its deadline from 26 to 28 November 2025 because of heavy traffic on the registration portal. That was a one-off notice, not a promise. Plan to submit at least a few days before the last date.
Who can apply
FMS asks for a bachelor’s degree after 12 years of schooling, with these minimum marks:
| Category | Minimum at graduation |
|---|---|
| Unreserved | 50% |
| OBC (non-creamy layer), EWS, PwD, CW | 45% |
| SC, ST | Passing marks |
- Final-year students can apply. You need to meet the minimum when your result is declared, and you must submit the final result before the last date of admission, 31 August 2027.
- CGPA holders must state the equivalent percentage and attach the university’s official CGPA-to-percentage conversion.
- CAT 2026 is compulsory. FMS says applicants who have not taken CAT 2026 will not be considered. Since CAT registration closed on 22 September, this cycle is open only to candidates who are already registered.
- Foreign nationals apply through the University of Delhi’s Foreign Students’ Registry and need a GMAT score of 650 or a GRE score of 320, with some scholarship exemptions. Check the international bulletin on fms.edu.

FMS Delhi application fee
The fee is ₹1,000 for all applicants except SC, ST and PwD candidates, who pay ₹350. You pay online through the payment gateway after you confirm your details.
How to fill the FMS Delhi form 2027
- Open fms.edu and go to the MBA (Full-Time) 2027 admission link. Use the official site as your starting point.
- Register with your name, a working mobile number and an email address you check daily. FMS contacts applicants only by email.
- Fill in your details: personal information, category, academics and your CAT 2026 registration number.
- Verify everything. Once you confirm your registration information, you can’t change it.
- Pay the fee through the payment gateway.
- Save your confirmation. Download or print the submitted form and the payment receipt.
What to keep ready before you start
- Class X and Class XII marks
- Graduation marks, or your CGPA with the official conversion table
- Your CAT 2026 registration details
- Category certificates in your own name, if you’re applying under SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD or CW. OBC-NCL and EWS certificates must be valid at the interview and on the date of admission.
- A ward certificate from the Registrar or College Principal, if you’re applying under the Delhi University ward quota
Photo and signature specifications aren’t in the bulletin, so check the portal for the exact formats.
Mistakes that can cost you the application
- Choosing the wrong category. FMS does not allow a category change after initial registration. You can, however, apply under a general category and a special category such as CW or PwD at the same time.
- Using an email you rarely open. Lists, cut-offs and interview communication come by email, and FMS takes no responsibility for a wrong or inactive address.
- Paying before checking. Confirm every field first, because the data is locked afterwards.
- Trusting “admission help”. FMS says it has no agent or consultant authorised to facilitate admissions. Use only fms.edu.
- Leaving it for the last day. The final-day rush is when portals slow down.
What happens after you apply
FMS shortlists on a weighted CAT 2026 score, with VARC at 40%, DILR at 30% and QA at 30%. Women candidates get 5 extra marks for the interview shortlist. Shortlisted candidates then go through a final selection with these weights:
| Component | Weight |
|---|---|
| Weighted CAT 2026 score | 50% |
| Class X marks | Up to 10% (5% for 60–75%, 10% for 75% and above) |
| Class XII marks | Up to 10% (same bands as Class X) |
| Discussion on your Statement of Purpose | 10% |
| Extempore | 5% |
| Personal interview | 15% |
Women candidates who appear for the interview get an additional 5 marks in final selection. You’ll need original certificates and mark sheets at the interview.
The weighting is worth planning around. VARC carries the most weight, so a strong verbal section helps more here than at some other B-schools. You can sharpen it with CATMOCK’s VARC Bhandara RC sets and CAT previous year papers.
FMS Delhi seats and fees
FMS has 251 sanctioned seats: 101 General, 69 OBC, 37 SC, 25 EWS and 19 ST, plus supernumerary categories such as PwD, CW, foreign students and ward quotas.
The bulletin puts the semester fee at about ₹65,075, which works out to roughly ₹2.6 lakh over four semesters. FMS can revise this at any time under University of Delhi instructions, and the figure excludes hostel and living costs.

Your next 30 days
The form deadline is 25 November and CAT is 29 November, so use the next four weeks for both:
- Submit the FMS form early, and note the confirmation.
- Take a full-length mock each week and review the analysis. You can start with a free CAT mock and use the IIM college predictor once scores arrive.
- Download your CAT admit card when it’s released on 4 November, and check your test centre.
FMS Delhi form 2027 FAQs
1. Is a separate FMS form needed if I’ve registered for CAT?
Yes. The CAT form doesn’t make you an FMS applicant. You must also register on fms.edu and pay FMS’s fee.
2. Do I need my CAT score to fill the FMS form?
No. The deadline comes before CAT, so you apply with your CAT 2026 registration details.
3. Can I edit my form after submitting?
Not once the registration information is confirmed. FMS says no changes are possible after that point.
4. Can I change my category later?
No. FMS does not allow category changes after initial registration.
5. Can final-year students apply?
Yes, as long as you expect to meet the minimum marks when results are declared and submit them before 31 August 2027.
6. Is the Executive MBA form the same?
No. The Executive programmes have separate eligibility, including work experience. Check the programme page on fms.edu before applying.
FMS Delhi form 2027 Conclusion
The FMS Delhi form for 2027 is a short, one-time task that decides whether your CAT score can be considered at all. The window closes on 25 November 2026, before CAT itself, so the safest move is to apply early, with details you’ve checked twice. Keep your category, marks and email address correct, because none of them can be changed after you confirm. Don’t pay anyone for “admission help”, since fms.edu is the only official route.
Once the form is submitted, your focus shifts to CAT on 29 November. FMS gives VARC the highest weight, so steady verbal practice, regular full-length mocks and careful analysis will do more for your FMS chances than any last-minute form tweak. Submit the form this week, then use CATMOCK’s free mocks to prepare for the exam. Always confirm the latest dates and fees on fms.edu before you act.
