M.Sc. (Geoinformatics)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

---

M.Sc. Geoinformatics or Master of Science in Geoinformatics is a postgraduate Information Technology Management course. The course is aimed at developing science graduates in the field of Informatics of the Earth. The increasing applications of Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing have created a gap between the demand and supply of trained man power in this field. The duration of the course is two years and its syllabus is divided into four semesters. The course is an important one and career originating in nature which opens a lot of job scopes for the candidates after its completion.
