Geology


The College offers Geology as an honours subject for B Sc students with Physics and Mathematics as subsidiary (elective) subjects. This Honours course can also be opted with Mathematics and Chemistry as subsidiary subjects. It is a professional course that prepares our graduates for immediate and employment in the Oil, Petrochemical and Mining sectors. It also provides them with a strong theoretical and practical foundation to enable them to pursue an academic career in Earth Sciences (M Sc or M Tech in Geology and Mining) in recognized Universities across the country.
