The study here can be a boon or a bane, depending on your perception

Admission:

Management is one of the worst I've seen. College is great in the part of educational tours thourough which you'll cover almost all Forest types of the country. Also some scientists are amazing. And there are lot of opportunities for relevant projects. The worst part is university's unsupportive attitude, and bad management.

Excellent campus

Admission:

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.

A forester's dream

Admission:

Let's start with the negative remarks. The attendance policy is something that needs to be changed. The scope for research and extra curricular activities gets hampered due to the attendance policy. The hostel facilities needs to be improved and certain hostel regulations needs to be changed. The positive side obviously would include the faculty available and the experience and exposure they share. The scope of higher studies is good enough.
