Good environment. FRI is a forest based institute; there's a tiny forest inside the institute that serves the basic requirements of samples to the students. I worked on CynodonLinn. & MimusopsLinn. which I collected from the campus. The management is transparent and provide all the necessities on-time. Overall its' a good experience.

Dislikes

The registrar office is far from the work place. Bad transportation facilities. Too much of tourists visit the institution.

Work Details

As I worked there as a trainee; so I found, no partiality among the students. The teachers, lab assistance & the scientists are supportive & highly educated. I worked individually but I'm sure they provide a good team work to the members.
