PG Diploma in Geophysics

Geophysicists are in great demand in various sectors including Oil & Gas, mining, infrastructure, ground water, civil engineering etc. At present, the geophysics education is available only at PG level in very few universities offered as integrated 5 year course after 10+2. A strong need was therefore felt of a course which can be pursued by graduates having completed their education in geology or physics, in order to meet the long felt need for skilled manpower in this field. The study material will be sent to students once each semester. The assignments related to study material will be sent twice each semester, to be completed and sent back by the candidate within stipulated time period. Field training is mandatory to complete this course. Institute has all the required equipment & facilities to impart field training in association with geophysics industry. Foreign students have a choice to undergo this training in their own country as well..
