I was looking for someone to take the initiative.How many of you people think its a viable option to apply for IIFM ?

It completely depens on persons interest as to apply to IIFM or not.
Tough the initial placements r not as lucrative as those of other schools,but long term prospects r good.
As many of alumnus of IIFM r in World Bank and other UN organaisations like UNEP....
so Guys come out with your Knowledge abt IIFM

well....first of all i m very sorry fr replying late...coz our mid term exams were goin on....n they r just finished now.coming to saurav's queries one by one i ll try to answer all the questions in d clearest way possible.
1.we have around 28 full time faculty comprising of people with phds from foriegn universities like syraccuse,mit,n some u.k. universities.four of the faculty members are serving IFS officers ,one of them was undersecretary in the panel forming national forest policy.most of the professers ve very high professional degrees n great expertise in their field.for example one of our teachers mr. pratap singh(serving IFS officer) is counted as the 2nd best man in bird watching in india after salim ali.apart from this numerous guest faculties n ppl from foreign organisations with high reputation come here n share their views regularly.
2.well....as far as the interviewing ppl r concerned in my opinion all of em look fr the right candidate suited for their requirements.here at IIFM you r supposed to ve an inclination towards environment n development sector .
3.of course the course is very suitable for engineers....out of 42 people in pfm 2007 batch around 15 people are engineers.so the message is loud n clear.no preference to any particular background is given .we ve ppl ranging from sociology,commerce,economics,industrial microbiology,physics,n engineering background n this s not exhaustive.
4.well commenting on the placement scenarion i m going to throw light on things which even i didnt knew before taking admission here.we dont advertise much thts why general perception is mixed in regard to this.
in the last batch ...
1.lowest indian salary-14 thousand per month in hand(mind it...in hand)+all sorts of incentive.
2.average indian salary-20 thousand per month+incentives
3.highest indian salary-40 thousand per month+incentives
4.overseas salary-(3 ppl got selected at OLAM INTERNATIONAL)-9 lakhs in hand + $450 per month as living expenses
5.no restrictions.
6.there are two programmes offered at iifm....
1.the flagship prog called pfm (post graduate diploma in forestry management)....its a two year fully residential programme .candidates selected through cat +gd+interview.
2.second prog is mrm(masters in natural resource management) .its a one year course and elligibilty for this is pg degree/diploma.this is a course equivalent to m.phil.degree.selection done through interview and presentation.for more info log on to www.iifm.org
ps-be prepared to work in ngos at grassroot level....for reaching great heights

hi pratheep
getting a call here is not difficult but converting the call is little difficult.last year people were even called at a modest score of 80 .but for converting u need to ve around 90 perecntile .almost all of my classmates here at iifm in general category are above 88 percentile.also u should score something in each section(hope u understand)

Hey Kunal_blue
Very to the point way of describing the placement senarioa by putting on the NET in hand salaries !!!!
But I am rather interested in knowing about the job profiles.
Can you put up a detailed table showing "Edu.+Exp. Background plus Salary wise Job Profile".
Basic idea is to have the 360 degree picture of how much & how many jobs are how closely(or remotely) ralated to the core area ..... and it varies with the background of students and how the salaries vary with the profiles.
One such example is Indian Institue of Tourism Management where good no. of jobs are coming from Service Marketing & traditional managerial functions also and not just from the Tourism sectors only.
I hope you would take the pain to clarify it......It would be of a big help.

hi k_patel
first of all i would say tht ds question is quite logical n i appreciate ur concern about ds aspect.see....as far as the percentage of ppl placed in various sectors s concerned u can look at our website www.iifm.ac.in
Now as far as a particuler student with a given background s concerned,i would say tht background doesnt play a major role here.for instance ,in the same company say india bulls last year ppl from both economics n engg. background were placed.Also at Olam international two engineers n one cs student was selected.At winrock international also commerce guys n engg. ppl were selected.also in almost all ngos ppl from diverse backgrounds get placed.It s more concerned with ur performance in this course.
Now coming to the dispersion of salaries from our indian mean rs 20000,last year organisations offering less than 14000 rs. were shown door.this s quite important as major recruiters at our place r ngos n some of the very good ngos used to pay as little as 12.5 k in earlier times like CARE.
There r ngos who pay more like winrock ....nearly 24-25 k.
This year we r keeping the lower limit to 15 k n since we r the only institute in natural resource management ......ngos r revising their salary structure for us.
Also as i ve already mentioned in my previous posts beautiful salaries r also there(last year three @ Olam international).
Hope this ll suffice .Had u given ur background ...i would ve been more specific.if something s not clear ...u r free to ask.I ll try my best to answer ur queries

hi adityameri
first of all i m really sorry tht i culdnt reply in time coz we were busy with some field trips.now coming to ur question...
well...to be frank i don think thr s something fr engineers frm all branches to specialize in an mba course n tht too in specialized sectoral courses like post graduate diploma in forestry management.of course u can specialize in MIS here n u ll ve definitely a gr8 advantage.wht say?this s really emerging field in natural resource management sector.who knows.....u might become one of the torch bearers fr indians specializing in this field ....lots of option n lots of opportunities.hope this ll suffice.take my first sentence sportingly.further questions are welcome.
