Think Beyond Campus Placement
Only 35% of the 2025 batch got placed through campus. Most forestry grads target competitive exams like IFS or State Forest Service, or pursue an MSc. Treat this degree as a foundation, not a finish line.
The verdict
Good fit
If you are into conservation, government forest services, or research, TNAU's B.Sc. Forestry is a solid, affordable bet. The NAAC A tag and ₹75k/year fee keep it accessible. But if you expect high corporate salaries or guaranteed placement, this will feel too niche. Go for it only if you are okay with the long game - competitive exams and field postings.
