FRI Dehradun - Forest Research Institute (Enrolled : 2020)

M.Sc Forestry

"FRI Dehradun: Perfect for IFoS Aspirants!"

Overall Rating: 7/10

The FRI campus is HUGE – around 500 acres! It's like a mini-forest in itself, perfect for studying flora and fauna. The infrastructure is decent, and the campus life is pretty chill. Great place to connect with nature and focus on your studies.
