FMS to set up south campus

Delhi University’s (DU) Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) is moving south by having an integrated campus in the south campus of the university. The plan has been approved by DU which will go ahead with the activities and execution of the new campus.

FMS currently operates from two campuses and offers both full time and part time MBA programmes. It offers the flagship two-year MBA programme from north campus and the full time MBA- Management of services programme from south campus besides a part-time programme in the evening. “We needed more space and resources can be better utilised if there is only one campus. Also, administratively, it is difficult to run two campuses simultaneously. This one integrated campus will also lead to increased interaction among students,” said Professor Kuriakose Mamkoottam, FMS’ dean.

Moreover, the south campus is closer to Gurgaon and Mamkoottam explained that this could be beneficial for working executives who are pursuing part time MBA from the institute and also work in Gurgaon and Noida. “South campus is definitely closer to Gurgaon and corporates visit us quite often,” he added.
