M.Sc. (Geoinformatics)
Introduction to the Program:
The 2-year postgraduate program in Geoinformatics consists of four semesters and offers advanced courses on Geoinformatics including Digital Image Processing, Advanced Photogrammetry Lab, Python for Geospatial Analysis, Advanced Computing in Geoinformatics, Web GIS and Google Earth Engine etc. Independent dissertation project under the guidance of the advisor updates the students about the recent developments in Geoinformatics and related fields. Geoinformatics Applications in Natural Resource Management, Geoinformatics Applications in Environment and Climate, and Geoinformatics Applications in Urban and Regional Planning are the specializations that we offer to our students. The inclusion of dissertation and internship in various industries and reputed research organizations will help the students to think outside the box and ignite the young minds with scientific inquisitiveness.
