"The reality of these hostels is terrible—please do not join and do not waste your money. The condition of the FM branch is absolutely the worst, with only 48 out of 108 students getting placed. It's not worth going to, even for free. However, if you are getting the SM branch, you can consider it, as they have 80% placement."
The current situation at IIFM Bhopal for Forest Management (FM) is very bad. Here are the facts:Placement Crisis: More than 80% of the batch is still unplaced. After spending ₹12 lakh on fees, students are sitting at home without jobs.Bad Internships: For internships, students were sent to Government Nurseries just to enter tree data into Excel sheets. The stipend was only ₹6,200, and the college showed this as a "placement" in their records.Low-Level Jobs: The only jobs available are low-level roles like loan collection, which have nothing to do with management.Industry Reality: In the age of AI, the industry does not want these forestry-type courses anymore.Poor Facilities: The hostel conditions are terrible and everything is managed poorly.Advice: Except for the Sustainability Management (SM) course, the rest is not worth it. It is better to go to a Tier-3 college than come here. Please don't waste your money.
Yesterday was my last day at IIFM Bhopal, and I feel like these past two years were a complete waste. Still More than 80% batch is Still Unplaced.The situation with our batch is terrible; placements are extremely low. The Forest Management (FM) branch is in even worse shape, with only a few people getting placed.Don't even get me started on the hostel rooms—they are pathetic and outdated. Since the campus is literally in a jungle, snakes often enter the rooms. The water quality is so bad that it causes typhoid and diarrhea, forcing everyone to buy Bisleri cans just to survive. Living here is absolute misery.The professors are old-school, full of attitude, and possess no industry-relevant knowledge. There is no proper management and the labs are useless. Please, do not take admission here. Don't even think about joining the FM course; you’d be better off doing an MBA from a Tier-3 college than coming here. My entire batch is regretting their decision.The food quality is very bad. Moreover, you have to walk everywhere because they don't allow vehicles under the guise of being 'green,' and half the day is wasted just commuting within the campus. Please, save yourself and don't come here.
