FMS Entrance Test 2011 (For the admission in FMS Batch 2011-13) was conducted on Sunday, 5th Dec, 2011. Like last year there were no surprises in the paper. Paper Pattern had already been revealed which made the job easier for students. However along with the length of the paper, the difficulty level ranged between moderate to high, which made it overall tougher. Looking at the difficulty level of the paper, it was more of an accuracy based game than based on speed. For somebody targeting to clear sectional cut-offs had to focus more on getting the answers right rather than worrying much about speed.
