Placement Experience:

After 3rd semester, students are eligible for placement; they have good resumes, and they provide every student placement. 80% students get placement in this course. Higher placement package is 10 lac. Last semester students will get placement by company

Placements and Job Opportunities are good because the College is prestigious College in its field.WST (Wood Science and Technology) is having 100% placement records.In Forestry branch I can say the placement is not so good because we do not have many companies of this sector and generally the Students of Forestry do not look for placements because Either they prepare for IFS or go for Further Studies Like doing Ph.D and NET.

FRI Dehradun: 2 Answered Questions

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

Spandita MajumderStudied M.Sc Wood Science and Technology at FRI, Dehradun (2019)

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.

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

Aakash RoyM.Sc Forestry from Forest Research Institute, Dehradun (2019)

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.
