M.Sc. Geo Informatics
Geo-Informatics is gradually gaining popularity in the India. Modern line of study that aligns Geography with Information Technology, Geo Informatics has become an integral part of urban planning, land use management, navigation systems, military, transport network management, public health, agriculture, meteorology, oceanography, crime mapping, e-commerce, tourism, telecommunications and a lot many industry oriented applications. Technologies like the Geographic Information System (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS) and satellite-based Remote Sensing (RS) have greatly improved our ability to collect, store, analyze and utilize geographical information.
At Sangam University, M.Sc in Geo Informatics degree curriculum is built in a manner that our students become experts on this line of work. The course deals with issues related to the urban environment, skills and history of the many Geospatial technologies like GIS, Remote Sensing, and GNSS. The best practices are-
- Top placement records for our students from the first batch of the course.
- Every academic year, the Department conducts National and International Seminars, Workshops, Conferences and other GIS and Remote Sensing training programs.
- Our curriculum is on a regular basis updated based on the trends and advance of the geospatial technologies.
- Students pursuing M.Sc. Geo-Informatics course have to do a compulsory Major Research Project as Internship in their fourth semester respectively as part of their curriculum. This is deliberate to expose students to problems associated with Geospatial data analysis. It also provides a stand for the students to find their placement.
- Every academic year, the Department conducts Industry orientation program as well as on field activities. The Department always provides guidance and support in the application of GIS and Remote Sensing.
Special Education
We are committed to providing high-quality education to all of our students, including those with special needs. There are a number of workshops/seminars conducted to prep the students and we also provide an internship program with top companies that helps students take their first step into the real world.
Course Goals
the course goal of an M.Sc. Geo Informatics program is to prepare students to become competent and innovative professionals in the field of geospatial data management and analysis, with a strong understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of geo-informatics and its practical applications.
USP's
- Only few universities in Rajasthan offer this program (Geo-Informatics).
- Our curriculum caters to current trends of markets and industries and is progressive.
- The department conducts industrial orientation and ground truth verification at regular intervals.
- Good internship opportunity for students such as ADCC Infocad Nagpur, RRSC-ISRO, Birla Institute of Scientific & Research, HARSAC, Space Application Centre (SAC), RMSI etc.
- Course of Geo-Informatics has geographical diversity as all students are from different regions such as West Bengal, Maharashtra, Jodhpur etc.
- Good Placement records.
Career Potential
The geoinformatics field is in its nascent stage and expanding at a rapid pace as more and more industries are employing spatial data to manage their activities. The dream of the digital India , Smart cities can not be completed without the use of Geoinformatics technology. Almost no developmental project is complete without geospatial information and it will soon become imperative. The only limit is the acute shortage of skilled professionals. Therefore, there is tremendous scope with accelerated growth and development prospects. The pervasive use in diverse disciplines ensures a wide variety of employment opportunities. The Government of India is taking numerous initiatives under Department of Space, Department of Science & Technology (Natural Resources Data Management System - NRDMS) and others. Government/has also established National Centre of Geoinformatics to serve central & state govt dept across the country . Likewise many others initiatives are in process."
