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
