Hello Poorvi, The Indian Institute of forest management provides Post graduate diploma in forestry management (PGDFM - 2yrs course). It does not provide master degree in Forest management...

For B.com student MBA in both (forest or finance) would be good but it mostly depends on your area of interest:

PGDFM - It is a fully residential program (Related to environment management, forest management, rural or NGO management etc) and includes a ten-week compulsory summer internship. Offers dual specialization in Conservation and Livelihood, Development Management and Environment Management.

Finance - Duties of a finance job in a corporate organization commonly involve financial planning, raising funds, cash management, and acquiring and disposing of assets. Analysts determine financing needs, analyze competitors, implement financial plans, monitor the company's securities and manage financial risk.

Hope this might help you. For further assistance be free to contact... All the best
