Indian Institute of Forest Management

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 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.

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 Jaideep!
Once the shortlisting of the candidate is done using CAT/XAT scores, selected candidates will be informed regarding the schedule. Do check your registered mail every day once the deadline for applying ends.
Last year What/PI took place in the last week of March but that might change.

As far as Great Lakes is concerned, you have slightly dim chances.
All the best.

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.

Hi Saurav,
You hold a good chance of getting a call for PI round. Besides whatever is conveyed to you in the previous comment, prepare yourself with a good SOP.

UBS is endorsed by 60 CEOs which gives it the most fantastic corporate recognition unbeatable in India. UBS has been compared with ISB-Hyderabad, NMIMS and SPJIMR and in many factors is ahead of these top B-Schools. IBS is a factory and Taxila is untested. For Mumbai region, UBS is definitely the best. It has been stated as a Truly Global Business School by Times of India and compared with SPJIMR, Indian School of Business and Great Lakes.

Hi Jaideep,
You can definitely expect a call from IIFM and given your category you have high chances of conversion too. Feel free to ask in case of any further query.

Dear Mr.Debajit, IIFM accepts both CAT & XAT scores for admission, as there's a little chance to get a call under the reservation category I suggest you apply with your CAT score 2017 before February 10.
