Indian Institute of Forest Management Bhopal Answered Questions

Hii frd, Forest Management, briefly, is about understanding forests or forestry as a sector, managing this sector and its natural resources and addressing the question of how you can provide livelihood to the nearly 15 million people comprising forest dwellers or forest fringe dwellers. What can you do for them in terms of enhancing their livelihood? You were employable as theme managers in the development sector. For every development, there is a price to be paid. They decide how one can set a balance between development and environmental degradation. They help large corporations work in a green way so in that sense they are Green Managers. All the best :). .

Hi,
Topics for WAT are based mainly on current topics/ issues. As far as PI is concerned, two different people can have highly varying PI experience and thus it's advisable to brush up on your knowledge of graduation subject/work ex related questions/GK etc. During my PI, I found my interviewer very friendly. Be prepared to answer 'why IIFM' though as this question is asked most of the time. Hope this helps.

Dear Gunjan, you have a fair chance of getting a call from IIFM if you belong to any of the reserved categories, but you can apply through any one of the scores i.e, either CAT or XAT. The last date of applying to IIFM has been extended until February 20, 2018.

Hi Anubha!
Sorry for not reaching out sooner.
Coming to your question last year general cut-off for CAT was around 80 percentile.
It varies for reserved categories with nc-obc cut-off around 65%ile last year.
No reservations for any stream specific graduate are there so forestry guys dont have an advantage as per weightage is concerned.

Dear Tarun, it is a misconception that graduates from IIFM are placed only in rural areas. I am happy to inform you that the current relieving batch of IIFM 2016-18 got placed in all sectors such as banking and microfinance, wildlife sector, consultancies, NGO's, Government agencies, paper industries and many other institutes. Please see the data regarding the placements on our official pages in the website and facebook for further information.
