About the Department
Welcome to Department of Geology, which promotes teaching and fundamental research across a wide range of topics in geoscience. The department came into existence in the year 2015 under the School of Environmental and Earth Sciences. The earlier name ‘Department of Geography and Geology’ was renamed as Department of Geology in July 2019 under the same school after its separation from Department of Geography. The department aims to study and monitor the earth processes and geo-resources such as minerals, oil and water, while extending the results of these efforts to the benefits of the students and the society; and to prepare students for careers in the fields of geoscience. The department endorses the concept of smart teaching using ICT multimedia, online pedagogy, green/white board, 3D models, animation, surprise test/quiz, seminars, projects, extensive field works etc. to enable students at the forefront of education and research internationally.
MSc. Geology programme covers a wide range of core courses in Geology and allied disciplines. These courses are designed such that the students shall well acquainted with blend of traditional basics of Earth Sciences and the emerging cutting-edge techniques of geological importance. It provides wide range of knowledge covering from foundation to recent methods and problems, both in the laboratory and in the field of different aspects of Geology including geomorphology, mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, sedimentology, stratigraphy, palaeontology, hydrogeology, remote sensing & GIS, environmental geology, geophysics, and economic geology. Our student numbers have effectively increased since the inception of the department. We have been revamping the curriculum and updating the teaching resource to match the ambitions of our students. Currently, we have 40 Masters students and five research students enrolled under these programmes, and have correspondingly invested in research facilities to support them.

About the Department
Welcome to Department of Geology, which promotes teaching and fundamental research across a wide range of topics in geoscience. The department came into existence in the year 2015 under the School of Environmental and Earth Sciences. The earlier name ‘Department of Geography and Geology’ was renamed as Department of Geology in July 2019 under the same school after its separation from Department of Geography. The department aims to study and monitor the earth processes and geo-resources such as minerals, oil and water, while extending the results of these efforts to the benefits of the students and the society; and to prepare students for careers in the fields of geoscience. The department endorses the concept of smart teaching using ICT multimedia, online pedagogy, green/white board, 3D models, animation, surprise test/quiz, seminars, projects, extensive field works etc. to enable students at the forefront of education and research internationally.
MSc. Geology programme covers a wide range of core courses in Geology and allied disciplines. These courses are designed such that the students shall well acquainted with blend of traditional basics of Earth Sciences and the emerging cutting-edge techniques of geological importance. It provides wide range of knowledge covering from foundation to recent methods and problems, both in the laboratory and in the field of different aspects of Geology including geomorphology, mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, sedimentology, stratigraphy, palaeontology, hydrogeology, remote sensing & GIS, environmental geology, geophysics, and economic geology. Our student numbers have effectively increased since the inception of the department. We have been revamping the curriculum and updating the teaching resource to match the ambitions of our students. Currently, we have 40 Masters students and five research students enrolled under these programmes, and have correspondingly invested in research facilities to support them.
