Ans

The admission process for an MSc from FRI is by offline mode. You have to download the form from the official website and fill it in with precision, there shouldn’t be any scope for mistakes. While filing and after filing the form, double-check the form thoroughly. All the required instructions for the form fill-up are mentioned in the notification section on the official webpage of the university. Payment Options: You have to send in the application forms through speed post by the last week of May. However, you won't be able to receive the application forms, either by post or from the institute/bank counter after the month of March. The next step is creating a DD (Demand Draft), in the name of the registrar, Forest Research Institute, Dehradun for an amount of Rs.1500 for one course. If you are applying for more than one course, then the amount is Rs.1500 for each applied course. Fill up the required details, with accuracy, and don’t forget to mention the DD number on the downloaded application form. Important note: If you are applying for one course, then only one application form will be required. However, if you are applying for multiple courses then you need to fill up different forms, along with separate DDs. It cannot be attached to one single form.

Ques

How is the placement scenario in FRI Dehradun for MSC courses?

● Top Answer By Spandita Majumder on 13 Jan 21

Ans

The FRI Dehradun offers 4 Master’s degrees to their students. Following are the list for the same: Environment Management (MSc) Forestry (MSc) Cellulose and Paper Technology Wood Science and Tech Department-wise Placement Info The Wood Science and tech department promises 100% placement which has been achieved by the institute to some extent. Various companies have hired students offering Plywood to Hardware Designing Jobs. Students have received offers from Cafe Coffee Day. Cellulose and Paper Technology also offers great placement prospects. Companies like JK Paper have hired students. Both FRI and CPPRI Saharanpur look into the placement process. If you want to join MSc in Forestry, then you will have job prospects in Plantations. Companies like TATA Tea have visited the campus. You can look forward to better prospects. Most of the students from Environment Management opts for higher education in Indian premium institutes or abroad. However, if you are interested in Operations, you can sit for the placement process. The probability of a job relies on the students’ social connection with the company in the 2 years, on their own. By creating an impactful and detailed CV the students can apply for jobs outside the campus on their own terms.

Ques

What opportunities will I get if I pursue an MSc in forestry from FRI, Dehradun?

● Top Answer By Aakash Roy on 13 Jan 21

Ans

The opportunity of placement here is bleak, therefore it is better to look out for other opportunities as well. If you have completed your MSc in forestry from FRI, you have four options to pursue – Join the Forest department as a forest ranger. It is an adventurous job and it is flourishing, as a profession, in recent years. Prepare for government exams. It is always a safe option to fall back on. If one manages to crack it, they get a secured job, with a good salary package, and a reputation as well. If one wants to continue in the academic line of forestry, then Ph.D. is always a great option. One can work on their research paper, dedicate long hours of research to their selected topic and produce a research paper that can be published later on. If the above-mentioned options are not suitable, then you can apply for the respective companies to work in. The chances of companies paying a visit to the forestry department are rare but the students can establish a link – a direct contact with the companies based on f their grades and resume. There are multiple paths outside the world of FRI that can be explored, all one needs is the knowledge of the chosen path and the right direction. I hope this was helpful.

Ques

Is FRI, Dehradun a good institute for pursuing an MSc in forestry?

● Top Answer By Tanya Dey on 13 Jan 21

Ans

Forest Research Institute (FRI) is an institute concerned with the forestry sector in India. The M.sc, Ph.D., PGD, and other short term courses are designed to impart practical knowledge to the students of this institution in the Department of Forestry. In terms of the M.Sc department, a few features need to be highlighted: Academic Teaching The classes are conducted by profound scientists of FRI and other affiliated institutes such as WII, IIRS, FSI, Retd. IFS Officers, and Senior IFS Officers. Surprise visits of renowned lecturers from other institutes can also be observed. Infrastructure The campus itself is well-equipped and designed appropriately to provide the students with an adequate practical experience in terms of – A Well-classified and systematically arranged central nursery of Forest species. The Institute has an enormous Reserved Forest of Tropical & Subtropical vegetation, thus it presents more opportunity to study them and increase the previous knowledge. The division of the departments in a strategic way enlarges one’s expertise wavelength through first-hand observation and examination of the varied species. Library The library of FRI is widely known as the 2nd largest library on Forestry and allied subjects. It is updated frequently and well-maintained. If your aim is Ph.D. then you would not face many problems because the opportunities for doing a research paper in this line of work are infinite. Throughout the course you will get sufficient time for preparation of Government exams, if you want to. The curriculum is lenient. There a lot of drawbacks as well which should be taken into consideration – This institute is not apt for a master’s degree. If you intend to pursue graduation or some other course in FSI then you are making the right decision. Although the same cannot be said for the master students. The number of companies visiting the campus for recruitment is quite less. So, the students have to rely on their own contacts and social skills to establish connection with their choice of companies and organizations like NGOs in the forestry sector, etc. to land up a permanent job. The student is left with two gateways - either aim for government jobs or higher studies. These are the two options left with the students after completing M.sc in Forestry from this institute because getting a job is highly unlikely. So, you should not opt for FSI if you are considering getting enrolled in this institute. You can try to look at other better colleges or institutes with good placement rates and more widened scope.
