hi frnz,
i m vasudha.
I m in standard 12th..I mean m waiting for my 11th result.
I m a bright student. I had secured a cgpa 10 in class 10th.
I m damn interested in getting admission in iifm....i hav a great interest towards nature and its conservation.
Can u plz help me out by giving some ideas about my future preparations?

This is something to notice..exactly after a month a post on this thread.

Hi,

I have an affinity for nature and forests as I have lived all my life at places which are close to nature. I'm a software engg with an experience of nearly 2 years. How do I make a strong case for admission into IIFM, Bhopal being from an IT background?

Please help.

Guys this is for those who are still mulling over whether they can convert or not if they are having low score in 10th or 12th or grads or even not having work exp.

dekho yar ek baat socho college wale tumhe kyu call diye despite u havin nt so decent acads etc(well dis is according to ur perception!)??
bas i have nothing to say more coz ishara hi kafi hai samajhdaar k liye...
all those who have got calls have equal probability to convert irrespective of their CAT score and profile..

isliye socho mat and think that u r just one step away.bas in cheezon pe dhayn mat do aur prep jari rakho.now just ur performance in GD and PI will matter and rest of ur previous records will get erased.bas take it this way coz u have already got the call and i hope u will be attending the gd/pi to get urself selected.
rejection process is over..frm here selection stages begin.

chilllllllll maarooo aur masti karoooo....all d best to my dear fellows...

Can i apply now? I have got 96.8 percentile in CAT

Conversation with I_am_IIFMight
Hope it helps a lot of aspirants here, I had these queries and Achal Sir was kind enough to clear them in detail :)

Q.1 )I am an aspirant of IIFM. I loved the campus and the pagalguy article on it was really wonderful. I got a 93 % in CAT and I don't want to do a cliche General MBA.
I wanted to know about the job profiles that you and your seniors get to get an Idea of where I would end up 2 years later.

Also, I love greenery, I'm a wildlife photographer and love to be eco-friendly. Would these traits help me love the place and the course any further?

Your response would be highly appreciated as I look up to your seniors

Thanks

A.1)Hi
good to see your interest.
The jobs that we used to get were in Microfinance sector, but due to some recent changes, very few jobs are offered in this.
So people from my batch have joined various consultancy jobs in Carbon trading. Some are working with banks with rural focus, one is a resort manager at Jungle Lodges and resort. one is working with aditya birla at Laos and managing plantations. While some are in research job. one is in BILT. Some are with financial companies.
I myself is with a renewable energy company working in biomass sector.
Jobs are from diverse sector and at various management level.



Q.2)Thanks for your prompt response Great to see the Diversity. What are the packages that are offered? Though it's not of prime importance to me as much is the Life @ IIFM.


Could you please tell me your experience in IIFM, even you would have thought about taking up such a different degree right? and Now that you have lived it, what do you feel about it? Is it an amazing place to be or do you have any regrets or anything that I as an aspirant should know and be wary about.

Thanks again

A.2)As a aspirant just one advice: dont go with packages for IIFM. I am not saying that the salary is too low, i would say it is more than enough to sustain yourself, but the package shown in the advertisment and news is misleading, it is done by every other college and i hate when it is done by IIFM.

the academics were tougher to me compared to previous college of mine. I had done my BE in Agricultural Engineering so i was already different in league so there was no questions in my mind to join IIFM or not.
It is nice place to stay, and you will remember it for mostly good but some bad reasons too. Ye to hota hi hai that when you are in a college you always say bad things about it at least in your peer group if not to outsiders or public or to forum. But after you pass out you feel better about college than ever.
So dont miss the opportunity when you get so.
As i have seen many guys on the PG from last 3 years posting that : "Sorry guys i have to leave IIFM my dream college to join this and that institute. " and feel very bad about it that if you regard your dream college then how can you even think about anything else, but i had tried not to be direct to those.
This could be lot of gyan but now i have already thrown that to you, take it or leave it, no worries, .

Always there to answer your any kind of wired or genuine query


Q.3)Thank you for your detailed reply, it really provides a great insight into the college. I am a Mechatronics Engineer by profession and this would be a paradigm shift in my career. In one of your previous responses you have given information as to where all you and your friends have been placed, regarding that I have a layman query, which I think would help me decide many things.

What work would we be doing after IIFM? I haven't exactly got a hang of where you guys come into the cycle.

I have these weird impressions in my mind,

1) I would be doing an Eco-Friendly job, like planning the location of a Factory or an Industry such that there is least damage to the ecosystem.

2) Working in a post that is for the betterment of the present Forests. i.e Forest Cover and Resources and stuff.

3) I would be on a lot of treks and will have to witness a lot of wilderness whilst in the job, like getting surveys done etc.


I know these might sound ridiculous to you But I hope you get my POV as I have just arrived at these taking the term "Forest Management" and the above stated things are stuff that I would LOVE to do in life as a profession.

Do explain as to what reality is like too

Thanks again.


A.3) 1) This comes under Environment Impact assessment: no jobs in this field have been offered to us as this is especialist job and we just have a single course on this. So you may be doing this job if you want only after few years of exp.
2) Some of them are working with the forest department, but they are consultants in the carbon credit and you could be doing resource assessment, but not the forest management work as that is done by IFS officers, and we dont find a place directly. Some are working in private firms like Aditya Birla, Renewable Woods, Olam International , BILT and ITC to do the forest management work. These are a bit better compensated jobs but few in no.
3) If your job is like that then you may be working in forest like my ex- roomate Ashwin is doing that, but if you get a corporate job you may be well sitting in a Air Conditioned office for rest of the year making some reports or doing consultancy.

I would suggest you to share my views on the forum with other puys as this may be helpful to them to decide what to do next.
I feel it better if queries of many get answered at a time.

you can ask me more questions if you like , dont hesitate.

Heartiest thanks to @I_am_IIFMight for his time and insights, hope these answer the queries of fellow aspirants like me :)

I AM A NATURE LOVER

but worried about the placement package
pls advice

colleges like iifm , irma (no offence meant to other colleges) do not advertise about their placements,
but they do happen and they rock big time,
secondly these colleges provide you with great profiles which may at the moment maynot be those fat 7 digit salaries but yeah 5 years down the line it all neutralises,
at this moment fill in the forms , clear the written, gd/pi
after that we as well as the students of these colleges will be more than happy to help you out with these TRIVIAL issues...

help me with a good statement of purpose...

Its better if you go through the thread to know more about it. as i wont be able to make justice in a single post now.
still as you are in hurry
write what is your main purpose of joining IIFM, be truthful as far as possible.
try to relate your past educational background or any experience that your feel IIFM can add value to it.
also what are your expectations with the institute like IIFM, what you feel that you can get after joining here.

Hello Friends,

I have a few queries for the current IIFM students as well as the alumni.I would be really grateful if you could please help me out with some of the doubts i have.

I am an ETC graduate(2007 passout) having worked in the IT industry but looking for a serious change to do something in my field of interest.The choice has more to do with my instinct/intuition whatever you call it.I'll be answering CAT09 for the first time,and did get to know a lot about the cut-offs etc for IIFM through this helpful forum.

-What are the chances of a prospective applicant with my profile making it through the admission procedure?As in if you can throw some light on the class distribution.

-I would also like to know about the job profiles offered at the placements considering the amount of exposure to working specifically in the field of Environment as in working on the field?

-Also how do you rate the course(with some detail inputs please) in terms of your initial expectations being met at the completion of the course as well as applying it in your current job?

-Finally,some inputs on the campus environment and the culture being imbibed at IIFM which matters a lot these days.

Thanks:-P
