Fashid Vc's Review on FRI Dehradun - Forest Research Institute
Placements and Internships
Job scenario is still under blooming process except for WST Which almost has about 90% placement with immense support from the alumni network.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
There are three hostels. Shisham Boys Hostel and Rosewood Girls hostel are for the Masters' students. The Ph.D. scholars reside in the Sandalwood Hostel and Visitors Hostel (which also accommodates SAARC Masters students).
Academics and Faculty
Classes and Library are open on weekdays (Library opens on Saturdays too). From 9:00 am till 5:30 pm in the afternoon. Even though the faculties are experts in their fields, difficulties in putting the matter across the table is a common scene. The college provides huge number of resources for aspirants of research and civil service.
Fees and Scholarships
Per semester including the charges for the hostel and academic amenities, it is approximately around INR 25000. The students with scholarships are those from the SAARC nations; the national students are seldom sponsored.
Clubs and Associations
Three Main societies are NISARG, AFRIN and IFSA which are strongly active throughout the academic years. The campus hosts many international conferences on the field of forestry and environment. All in all FRI is worth a shot at your ending student life.

They are Environment Management, Forestry, Wood Science and technology, Cellulose and Paper Technology. Being eligible for either of them requires a base in Science background in Bachelors. Environment Management eligibility criteria required Biology Background of any core like Zoology, Geology, etc. For this course, one entrance examination was conducted which included Science including Maths as a subject, English, General Aptitude and General Knowledge in the form of Multiple Choice Questions. The paper wasn't very tough but the hardest part was negative marking. The exam was in the month of April and results were posted online in the month of June. No cutoffs were there just had to pass at the entrance and be listed in the Merit or Waitlist. Separate lists were rolled out for reserved candidates.&
