What is the typical summer internship stipend range at FORE Delhi?

FORE School of Management's summer internship stipends range from ₹5,000 to ₹1,00,000 per month, with the bulk of the batch, roughly 50-60%, landing between ₹15,000 and ₹40,000. That midrange is where most students realistically land.

The high end is real but competitive.

What the Full Spread Looks Like

The distribution is uneven, not uniform. A small top slice of students, perhaps 10-15% of the batch, secures roles at Big Four consulting firms or large MNCs that push stipends past ₹50,000.

The remaining lower tier, around 20-25%, ends up with startups, regional businesses, or NGOs where ₹5,000-₹15,000 is standard. Understanding which bucket you are likely to fall into before your second semester is more useful than quoting the headline range.

Industry Drives the Number More Than Anything Else

Finance and consulting roles at firms like Deloitte, EY, and KPMG tend to pay ₹40,000-₹80,000. Marketing internships at FMCG companies such as ITC or Marico typically offer ₹25,000-₹50,000.

Analytics and product management roles with tech companies or well-funded startups fall around ₹20,000-₹60,000. Sales and operations roles, particularly with smaller companies, often start at ₹10,000-₹15,000 and do not move much higher.

Domain selection in the first semester matters more than most students expect. Students who build a focused profile in finance or consulting early attract the higher-paying recruiters. Generalist CVs tend to end up in the middle of the distribution.

How FORE Compares to Nearby Peers

This is where the honest comparison matters. FMS Delhi SIP stipends range from ₹30,000 to ₹1,50,000, and IMT Ghaziabad runs ₹20,000-₹1,20,000. FORE sits below both on the upper end. It is competitive with BIMTECH and JIMS, where medians are similarly anchored around ₹20,000-₹35,000.

FORE's genuine strength is placement volume, not stipend peak. Most batches report near 100% summer placement rates, meaning every student gets live corporate exposure.

That matters more at this tier than chasing a headline number that only 15% of the batch achieves.

Converting a Stipend Into a PPO

Stipend is a starting point, not the goal. Several FORE students convert strong SIP performances into Pre-Placement Offers from firms like Deloitte USI, Asian Paints, and mid-sized consulting boutiques.

Companies that offer lower stipends sometimes extend PPOs more readily than larger firms with structured intern quotas. Treating a ₹20,000 stipend at a growth-stage firm seriously can outperform a passive ₹60,000 stint at a Big Four in PPO conversion rates.

This path is not easy. Competition for the top stipend slots starts at Day 1 of the programme. Do not wait until placement season to build your sectoral case.
