Graduation

Post Graduate Diploma in Geo Informatics is a Diploma level course. It is the synergy of multiple disciplines, namely, GIS, remote sensing, photogrammetry, cartography, GPS and geodesy. It is fundamental to all the disciplines, which use data identified by their locations. Geomatics deals with spatial and non-spatial data, their methods of acquisition, management, analysis, display, and dissemination. The programme aims to provide conceptual knowledge of GIS, remote sensing and related fields, and hands-on training in GIS, remote sensing data interpretation, digital image processing, digital photogrammetry, digital cartography and GPS. There are also three electives i.e. Geo-informatics Business & Project Management, GIS Development and RDBMS.

Post Graduate Diploma in Geo Informatics Eligibility

  • Students should have passed a bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university with science at 10+2 (higher secondary) level.
