Hi Kanishka!
Future after doing this course depends on what field u r interested in - livelihood, forestry & wildlife, business development & marketing or environment - It is the students who decide what companies to rope in. Actually most of the things are student-driven, even the mess.that is how we learn things here u know. Expect salary around 6,7,8 lac p.a. IIFM has a history of 100% placement in the real sense with no gloss whatsoever. So getting a job is not an issue. Life after IIFM is initially tough as you are expected to work at the grassroot level (not for change-agents like us who value & relish these kind of exposures) but then ur career goes for an upward swing once u bcum a pro. Many of our alumni are working in some of the highly coveted jobs in WWF,TERI, UNICEF, YALE university, UNDP, E&Y, Olam International et al. in very high positions but it takes time of course. The long and short of the story is that IIFM gives u a platform.it depend on what u make out of it! Placement in metro cities does happen but most of us are not here to have fun in the cities. It really depends on u. Its about ur priorities and what kind of role u envision fr urself. The common profiles are programme manager, executive officer of various development or environment programs. Some of the domestic companies/NGOs/ Organisations who recruit are Pradan, TERI, Consutancies like E&Y, Deloitte, Intellecap; MP Forest Department, IORA, WWF, NCDEX, IFMR, Sambodhi, etc
