Life at IIFM as a PGDSM Student.

Faculty: Professors are great. Relevant but lacks in practical aspect/ application based teaching. Except for the Industrial visit and some field visits, the course is majorly theory based. However, there is a strong focus on research. Almost everyone passes. The grading is relatively. Hence, bigger batch sizes mean easier scoring.

The college has awesome infrastructure and curriculum.

Faculty: The faculty are well-versed and knowledgeable to the highest extent needed to counsel the course. IFS officers deal with forestry subjects, and for remaining subjects, the faculty are keen on making students understand the subject well. A trimester system is followed, and there are 6 semesters for 2 years course. End-term, mid-term, regular quizzes/class tests, and assignment submissions sum up your total score.

It is a perfect place for learning management.

Faculty: Teachers in the college are highly qualified, some being IFS as well. The quality of teaching is good. Pedagogy followed is classroom studies along with field exposure. The student to faculty ratio for a batch is less than 4:1 since 30 permanent teaching faculty along with some other non-permanent faculty are there, and my batch has 113 students in it. Each student has a faculty mentor assigned too for any problem during the two-year course. I find the course curriculum useful as the field trips...
