Is FRI, Dehradun a good institute for pursuing an MSc in forestry?

TD
Tanya Dey Posted On : January 13th, 2021
M. Sc. Forestry & Forest Resources Management, Forest Research Institute, Dehradun (2019)

Forest Research Institute (FRI) is an institute concerned with the forestry sector in India. The M.sc, Ph.D., PGD, and other short term courses are designed to impart practical knowledge to the students of this institution in the Department of Forestry.

In terms of the M.Sc department, a few features need to be highlighted:

Academic Teaching

  • The classes are conducted by profound scientists of FRI and other affiliated institutes such as WII, IIRS, FSI, Retd. IFS Officers, and Senior IFS Officers.
  • Surprise visits of renowned lecturers from other institutes can also be observed.

Infrastructure

The campus itself is well-equipped and designed appropriately to provide the students with an adequate practical experience in terms of –

  • A Well-classified and systematically arranged central nursery of Forest species.
  • The Institute has an enormous Reserved Forest of Tropical & Subtropical vegetation, thus it presents more opportunity to study them and increase the previous knowledge.
  • The division of the departments in a strategic way enlarges one’s expertise wavelength through first-hand observation and examination of the varied species.

Library

The library of FRI is widely known as the 2nd largest library on Forestry and allied subjects. It is updated frequently and well-maintained.

If your aim is Ph.D. then you would not face many problems because the opportunities for doing a research paper in this line of work are infinite. Throughout the course you will get sufficient time for preparation of Government exams, if you want to. The curriculum is lenient.

There a lot of drawbacks as well which should be taken into consideration –

  • This institute is not apt for a master’s degree. If you intend to pursue graduation or some other course in FSI then you are making the right decision. Although the same cannot be said for the master students.
  • The number of companies visiting the campus for recruitment is quite less. So, the students have to rely on their own contacts and social skills to establish connection with their choice of companies and organizations like NGOs in the forestry sector, etc. to land up a permanent job.
  • The student is left with two gateways - either aim for government jobs or higher studies. These are the two options left with the students after completing M.sc in Forestry from this institute because getting a job is highly unlikely.

So, you should not opt for FSI if you are considering getting enrolled in this institute. You can try to look at other better colleges or institutes with good placement rates and more widened scope.

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

AR

M.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 –

  1. Join the Forest department as a forest ranger. It is an adventurous job and it is flourishing, as a profession, in recent years.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
