BVIEER is an amazing institute! The courses they offered are so different and exciting, and they really challenged me to think outside of the box. One of the best things about BVIEER was the dissertation experience - I got to explore a topic that I was really passionate about, and the faculty were there to guide and support me in every step . It was honestly such a great opportunity to dig deep and produce work that I was really proud of. I also had the chance to participate in a joint exchange program with a university in Germany! That experience was totally unforgettable and really gave me a unique perspective on my field of study. Plus, there were other learning experiences like auditor courses, internship, conferences and trips for hands-on learning that really made the "learning by doing" concept come to life. The faculty is experienced and passionate about teaching that it made learning an absolute joy. I would definitely recommend BVIEER to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind educational experience. The courses are different, the opportunities are amazing, and the faculty is top-notch. Trust me, you won't regret it!

I'm currently in the last semester of my Masters in Wildlife Conservation Action at BVIEER. My experience while studying at this institute has been positive. During the course we were exposed to a blend of theoretical and field based learning alongwith guest lectures from experts in the field. The curriculum is transdisciplinary and focuses on various aspects of conservation. The assignments and continuous assessment conducted in the institute helps the students to broaden their thinking, be innovative, indulge in self study and learning, and go beyond what is taught in the class, thus, focusing on their holistic development. The faculty is approachable and always ready to help the students out. The course offers those interested with an opportunity to participate in a student exchange programs with the University of Cologne. The institute provides students with opportunities to participate in various national and international level conferences, giving them a global platform to present their work. This institute is the right choice for those who wish to gain insights about conservation and gain learnings and a skill-set pertaining to the various fields associated with it.

I'm currently pursuing my master's degree in Wildlife Conservation Action at Bvieer. The course is not perfect, but you'll meet one of the most dedicated set of professors who go above and beyond to facilitate effective learning. There's a good exposure to experts from the field with fieldwork-based learning and guest lecture sessions. The assignments offer a great learning experience FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO SERIOUSLY DO THEM. They also have an good student exchange program with the University of Cologne of which I happened to be a part of. The second year of the course has a focus on mentored learning through dissertation work and internships. One thing I loved the most about the course is that nothing is spoonfed, students are free to forge their own conservation path. One thing that I absolutely hated are that the examination system for some of the subjects are outdated, subjects that don't really need a final exam end up having a paper which has more weightage than the assignments that frankly teach more. All in all, the course looks at unifying the mantle of conservation as a human movement through a transdisciplinary approach rather than an expert led movement which is excellent considering the current times.

Sritama Chaudhury Batch : M.Sc. Geoinformatics (2021-23)

I would start with the campus, believe me, it’s gorgeous. It provides a great infrastructural environment that is pretty important. Second, the course structure is pretty good and provides actual practical implementation in the conservation field which most of the renowned glorified institutions in India lack. The course structure focuses not just on the ecological aspects of conservation but equally to the social aspects of conservation which is very important. Most assignments are pretty interesting and to the point and really lets you explore on your own rather than guiding you in a particular direction forcefully. Overall it provides a great technical, theoretical and field based education. Sometimes the packed schedule can be a bit overwhelming but it will only make you tougher.

My experience at BVIEER has been outstanding. The program truly offers a multidisciplinary education. The classroom training significantly enhanced my theoretical knowledge, while hands-on experience with various software and fieldwork strengthened my ability to apply geospatial technologies in real-world scenarios. This strong theoretical foundation helped me clear GATE in two consecutive years, and the practical experience empowered me to excel in dynamic environments, particularly in projects and research. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to provoke critical thinking and encourage innovative problem-solving. A testament to this is my team's success in winning the Geo-Innovation Challenge for Climate Change and Disaster Mitigation held under a DST, Government of India initiative. Collaborating with the University of Cologne, Germany provided me with an invaluable cross-cultural learning experience. The course on Urban Microclimatology allowed us to explore interdisciplinary topics and engage with international students. Our fieldwork in Kanha National Park and Mulshi, alongside these students, deepened our understanding of ecology and underscored the significance of geospatial technologies in conservation efforts. The teaching style at BVIEER is exceptional. The professors, with their extensive expertise, make complex subjects both accessible and engaging. The limited hand-holding approach in assignments and research work fosters self-learning and independence, crucial skills for any researcher.

If you're looking to develop a deep understanding and the ability to enhance your learning capabilities, BVIEER is the perfect place for you.
