IIFM: 4 Answered Questions

Is it worth taking a loan of around 6-7 lakhs for IIFM, Bhopal Forestry Management Course (Wildlife)? Isn't it a burden with a salary just being around 5-6 LPA?

Rishikesh Kumar
Shreyashi DasStudied at Indian Institute of Forest Management (2019)

IIFM Bhopal is a sectorial institute that can provide you with a great number of opportunities. To name certain fields- Development, MNC, Wildlife, Microfinance, Banks, Forestry. You can choose any one of the following and you would never end up being disappointed.

The highest placement package offered at IIFM Bhopal was 14 LPA in 2020. The salary you would be offered here would not be very appealing as it might not be as popular as the others. 

As far as loan is concerned and considering the entire atmosphere or IIFM, Bhopal- it would absolutely be worth it.

Everything depends on your interest ultimately. You are bound to feel burdened when you already are familiar with the fact that the job neither carries your interest nor does it pay you well.

Why should anyone join IIFM Bhopal for PGDFM program?

Krishna ShrivastavaPGDFM Environmentalism, Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal (2018)

IIFM Bhopal is an excellent institute for forest management courses, providing a degree that offers much more than knowledge of general management. You will learn to apply management practices in development sectors.

The forest management course usually deals with the application of management practices in the forest development sector, which has its unique approach. MBA pass-outs from IIFM work as managers in several sectors, taking difficult decisions like the banning and control of falling of trees, framing a criminal offense for the poaching of wildlife, etc.

Let’s consider a real-life scenario, if an old villager is accused of killing a tiger, he/she will be punished for 7 years with a monetary fine in the court of law. It will be a matter of political, ethical, legal, and economic approach for a general management student, resulting in the villager being punished. But, for an MBA in forest management, he/she will also consider the livelihood side of the villager, his conditions of living, and the circumstances that led to the crime. This is the major difference in approach.

The PGDFM program in IIFM Bhopal has its characteristics and approach of study, which is unique, and that makes it a decent choice for students interested in the field.

Can I get an HR role of I pursue pgdfm from iifm Bhopal?

Sugandhi Sood
Sushmita DasPGDFM from Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal (2020)

The Indian Institute of Forest Management has courses with specialized choices of subjects related to Forestry. For pursuing a career in Human resources, IIFM may not be a very good choice, but it is always possible to do the same. 

The points below state how the institute is not quite suitable for an HR-based role.

  • The curriculum and subjects taught are related to domains like environment, management of natural forests, development, sustainability, conservation, and livelihood, etc. So, even being a management institute, IIFM is not quite suitable for the development of students in general management subjects like HR, finance, sales, and marketing, etc.
  • There are some subjects related to basic management but are mostly on the environment and its conservation. But, there are several students of IIFM presently working as HR managers of different companies. Therefore, it depends on the choice of interest of the candidate.

Therefore, choosing a career in HR being at IIFM is not a wise decision, but not an impossible one. It is the choice of the candidate as to where he/she wants to land in the industry.

Key highlights:

  • The courses offered lack expected importance and recognition in India. But, there is a great demand for forestry management abroad, where several career options are available.
  • There is an excessive hype for an MBA degree in India and it is somewhat responsible for the lack of recognition of a PGDFM degree. But, a PGDFM degree from IIFM, Bhopal is sure to give success, if one works hard enough.
  • It is not that there is no placement at IIFM Bhopal. Even being a lesser-known subject, there are several recruiters who visit the campus for placement of students from PGDFM.
  • Students from IIFM Bhopal receive good opportunities through summer internships provided by several organizations, some of them being related to areas of interest like Wildlife Conservation, etc.

Therefore, PGDFM at IIFM Bhopal is definitely a good choice for students who are genuinely interested in career fields related to wildlife conservation, or maybe something else relevant to the course.
