No, FMS selection is purely Written based.
Eligibility criteria:-
The minimum requisite percentage of marks in different disciplines is as follows:Arts, Commerce or Social Sciences- 50%
Sciences- 55%
Mathematics or Statistics- 60%
Medicine, Engineering or Technology- 60%/ CGPA of at least 6 on a scale of 10
OR
Post Graduate Degree or IInd Degree examination after 10+2+3scheme, securing at least 60%marks.
Relaxation of 5% marks in the minimum eligibility will be allowed only to candidates of the following categories (SC/ST/OBC/PH/CW).

last year's admission policy:-
70% CAT
10% GD
10% PI
10% Extempore


and nothing can be predicted about your CAT percentiles as of now.

Normalization will effect for sure but your raw score is too good for getting a 99+ %ile and selection criteria for FMS is already listed in the above post but in all you have very good chances for getting a call so definitely go for it :)

@missionCAT13 @ansh12345 Thanks a lot.
BE score: 82 %
12th: 93.4 %
10th: 93.6 %
CAT Attempt : (23 + 21)
So after analysing all risk factors, I can safely apply for FMS?
I gave NMAT twice. In 1st attempt I got 186. Awaiting results of 2nd attempt.
Also suggest is it good to apply for all colleges falling under same tier? Or should I apply for some 2nd tier colleges also?

Also pls tell is thr any hope of colleges reopening their application process after results coming out? Or is it closed for once n for all on their last date to apply?

You acads are very good,
And apply to NITIE and FMS now,
Generally IMT Ghaziabad, IMI delhi reopen their application window after CAT results, and After results, You also apply to IITs (IIT BDKg are amongst top MBA Schools).
MICA's last date in 29th of january, you may also apply there if you are interested in offered specialization.
I'd suggest you to not apply to any tier 2 bschools. :)

If you are interested in Ops then your first choice should be NITIE(considered the best in ops), cut-off likely to be 97+ , apart from the that there is SIOM under SNAP which is a decent college. I am not sure about which IIT's but i guess IIT B,D & M are good in this field too.

1) See your acads are great and you have decent work-ex too so with all that applying to FMS is a risk worth taking, we would recommend you to apply for FMS, but its upto the college that it will or will not offer you a call :)

2) You can apply to some 2nd tier colleges as back-ups but your main concern should go to the top tier.

3) Colleges like IMT G & IMI have reopened application window in previous years so they might do this year as well, for rest of the top colleges its like once and for all.
