Good but Improvement required in the recruitment of teaching faculty.
Placements: Around 50% of the students were placed this year. The highest package was around 5lpa, 2lpa being the lowest. And 3 LPA is the average package here. Top companies recruiting our students include NHAI, FAO, Forest Corporation. Not much internship opportunities are available in campus. However, plenty companies offer internship off campus. Top roles offered in our course consist of ATM (Assistant technology manager), BTM ( Block Technology manager), etc.
Infrastructure: Library facilities with free Wi-Fi, computers and Xerox facilities are available. Classrooms are equipped with smartclasses for smooth teaching. Plenty of labs available. Our hostels are equipped with gym, sports complex and the quality of food in our mess is decent. Medical facilities with ambulance are easily available. Every year annual sports meet is conducted.
Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and professional. However due to the constraint of limited availability of professors, they are overburdened. Hence their efficiency decreases. Absolutely, infact there is an increasing demand for such courses in the upcoming time. If you study diligently, passing the semester exams would be no big deal for you. As of now, passing percentage is 95%. .
Other: One of the reasons why I chose this course was that it gives me the opportunity of working with the environment closely. It provides us with on ground experience of closely working with industry experts. I just wish we had more young professionals who could lead the upcoming batch of students. Regular concerts and events are organised. Annual sports meet happen every year. Conference rooms available for seminars, quizzes and debate competitions are regularly held.

Dissatisfied because of placement area.
Placements: Okay, so after competing your graduation form this college, it is necessary to do M.Sc. or prepare for other competitive exams because here you are not going to be placed in any company or get some internship by this college. No placement for B.Sc. students. College needs to work on it.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is only available for M.Sc. student here. Hostels are good in condition. Library have a good amount of books. Labs are not in good condition. Mess is private and works by their own rules. Food quality is average. Medical facilities are not available. Sports and games event done by the students .
Faculty: Some teachers are best but they are very close to their retirement. And some are busy with their own projects. Here almost all students get passed by time very minimum number of students get back semester or fail. But this course make student ready for industrial work.
Other: So this is the 1st college of forest in Jharkhand, Bihar so as that aspect this place needs to improve their campus surrounding.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, well skilled, very knowledgeable and cooperative. They prepare us for various competitive exams like IFos ( Indian forest service), range officer etc. Many intra and inter college competition are organised which help in personality development of an individual.
Other: I prefer this course to the one who will be interested in forestry and agriculture. The best thing I got here is the connection with the mother nature. Events were organised by the college at the regular interval of time. I also get to explore many things through this course.
