Excellent campus

In the past FRI was considered the temple of Forestry. I think it was because of some reason. Reason could be the management, administration and quality students. I'm hopeful that if quality students are provided with best management and administration, then it can regain it's old reputation. They will have to be a bit more serious for quality syllabus as well as faculty. Seriousness is not just limiting attendence to 75% or more. Moreover quality doesn't come from attendence or something.

This is the worst part here. They simply don't care about where you go, what type of placement you getting. What's all they want is to show 100% placements in their advertisement for new msc batch. This is all crap. Firstly getting placement from FRI is very tough, even if you get the placement, those placements are not even worth sharing with anyone. Kind of "Chanda collection" jobs they get.

When I got the admission in 2017 fee was around 33k in the first semester followed by 27k in rest of the 3 semesters. But there is sudden hike in the fee structure. So from year 2018 it has reached around 40k. Which is too much for a government college. And too much of what quality we get in return.

No. FRI doesn't give any sort of scholarships. Only the toppers in each category (gen, ST, SC, OBC) get some meagre amount each semester.

If I don't comment on the academy part, FRI campus is the best place to live in. It has good vibes. You can not get bored up here. You have a big green campus with hell lot of flowering trees, you have good birding spots to go for birding. Metal roads to go for a walk of cycling. A river called tons just in the backside of campus. Beautiful lawns. Everything is so lively. Gender ratio as far as I have observed keeps on changing in forestry. Generally more Gil's to boys ratio in alternation with more boys to girls in consecutive year. And in other course like WST, generally there are more boys than girls. No extra curricular activities in college's curriculum.

Yes. Hostels of FRI are the best. Specially for girls. New rosewood girls hostel is the best. Spacious rooms and bathourooms. And good food (if your mess aunty is good) :P The only problem here is of the timings. We live here like in jail. 5:30 in winters and 7 in summers is the time limit. But still worth sacrificing sometime I feel. :)

Though we have a so called alumini group. But it's not active. But I suppose if you go to ask for any sort of help from the seniors they'll be more than happy to help you. I think it's us who never went to our seniors for any advice or help.
