Department of Geology

Dr. Suparna Tewari

Department of Geology, offers M.Sc. Program covering contemporary and emerging fields of Geology having wide ranging interests to meet the growing needs of the industries/ Research Organisations and Academic Institutions. The rigorous academics and regular department-industry partnership help to prepare our students to keep pace with the changing times.
The education programme in M.Sc. Geology was initiated with a motivation to generate a workforce that could turn into a substantially trained pool to meet the world’s demand of Geologists. Therefore, in tune with the “Training and Placement” cell of the University, the department look forward to provide best employment opportunities to the trained postgraduates in Mining and Oil Exploration Industries and Geological Survey of India. In addition, we motivate students to take teaching and research as a career and join national and international leading research laboratories, PSUs like: ONGC, Oil India, IOCL, Coal India, MECL.
