Which strategy to follow when you only want to get into FMS and not any IIM?

Before we dive right into what one needs to focus on, let us first understand FMS's selection criteria - 1. Weighted CAT 2021 Score - 50% 2. Marks obtained in Class X - 10% (60% and above but less than 75%: 5%, 75% and above: 10%) 3. Marks obtained in Class XII - 10% (60% and above but less than 75%: 5%, 75%, and above 10%) 4. Discussion on Statement of Purpose - 10% 5. Extempore 5% 6. Personal Interview - 15% Point number 2 and 3 above are things that you cannot control, so let us focus on point 1 which is most essential, i.e your CAT score. Because only after a good CAT score (99.3+ for General Engineering Male) you will get an interview call and point 4,5 and 6 will become relevant. So the strategy to target FMS is no different than the strategy to target top IIMs, based on historical data you need to aim to score 99.3+ percentile in CAT.
