The Department of Geography offers:
The emphasis at the undergraduate level is on imparting basic courses of learning with specialized instruments in order to produce young professionals. The department of geography values fieldwork because we agree that there is no alternative to learning subjects firsthand. All the students in the second year participate in a physical geography field trip at the beginning of the semester..

BS in Disaster Management was offered in 2022. The objectives were
A Bachelor of Science (BS) in Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an undergraduate degree program that combines the study of remote sensing technology and GIS applications. Remote sensing involves collecting data about the Earth's surface from a distance using sensors on satellites, aircraft, or drones. GIS, on the other hand, focuses on the storage, analysis, and visualization of spatial data.
During a BS program in Remote Sensing and GIS, students typically learn about the principles and techniques of remote sensing, including image interpretation, data acquisition, and processing. They also study GIS fundamentals, such as spatial analysis, database management, and cartography. The curriculum may cover topics like:
Throughout the program, students may have the opportunity to work with remote sensing and GIS software, such as ArcGIS, ERDAS Imagine, ENVI, or QG
The MS program in Geography covers applied areas in the subject of Geography. The courses include Applied Physical Geography, Applied Human Geography, recent fields like Geography of Transportation, fluvial morphology, Disaster Risk Management, Regional planning, etc. as well as techniques like Remote Sensing, GIS, and others in the subject with their application in different fields.
An MS or MPhil in Geography is a postgraduate degree program that focuses on advanced study and research in the field of geography. It is designed to deepen students' knowledge of geographic principles, spatial analysis, and research methodologies.
The MS/MPhil program in Geography often involves both coursework and research components. Students may have the opportunity to work on research projects, field studies, or collaborate with faculty members on ongoing research initiatives.
Graduates with an MS/MPhil in Geography can pursue various career paths. They may find opportunities in academia as researchers or professors, working in research institutions, universities, or think tanks. Other career options include working as geographers, spatial analysts, GIS specialists, environmental consultants, urban planners, or in government agencies involved in resource management, regional planning, transportation, or environmental policy development. The skills gained through the program, such as spatial analysis, data interpretation, and research design, are also valuable in industries such as market research, transportation and logistics, urban development, and environmental consulting.
Keeping in view of the academic and research development, the collaborations between Department of Geography and other departments and universities were established to promote practical academic activities, data sharing, holding of workshops and seminars. The following links/ MOU are actively working with the Department of Geography.

An MS or MPhil in Disaster Management is a postgraduate degree program that focuses on the study of disaster management principles, strategies, and practices. It is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. However, it typically covers a range of topics related to disaster management and risk reduction.
In addition to coursework, MS/MPhil programs in Disaster Management often include practical components, such as fieldwork, case studies, simulations, and research projects. These hands-on experiences provide students with opportunities to apply their knowledge in real-world settings.
Graduates with an MS/MPhil in Disaster Management can pursue careers in a variety of sectors. They may work in government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations, humanitarian aid agencies, research institutions, or private companies involved in disaster risk reduction, emergency management, policy development, and community resilience. Job roles may include disaster response coordinator, emergency planner, risk analyst, project manager, or policy advisor.
Furthermore, some graduates may choose to pursue further research or academic careers by enrolling in a Ph.D. program in a related field, focusing on specialized areas of disaster management research or teaching.
