The Department of Geosciences (Geology and Geophysics streams) is engaged in cutting-edge scholarship related to Earth and its complex systems and processes: the interactions among solid Earth, hydrosphere, biosphere, as they impact society.

The department is committed to excellence in discovery and creation of new knowledge about Earth, enabling life-long learning by all students about Earth processes and the impacts and engagement of faculty, students and the public addressing and solving the challenges associated with stewardship of Earth.

• Provide quality education
• Provide cutting-edge research
• Provide outreach to the citizens of this region extending to the national and international area
• Advance new understanding of the Earth System and apply these to the needs of society
• Prepare the next generation of geoscientists (geologists & geophysicists) to conduct research, to find and develop natural resources, and to measure and respond to environmental change.

• To establish research laboratory.
• Equip the students in higher education through CSIR- NET exam.
• To organize Refresh and Orientation courses.
• To get the UGC and DST projects.
• Establish computer lab to learn chemistry related softwares.

A short term goal is a goal that can be achieved in months or less

• To make the students to learn the various subject to acquire basic knowledge in east semester
• To make the students consolidate the knowledge of the subjects every year
• To pre pare study material both the students and the faculty members which will be useful in future career
• To train the students in field-oriented programmes to acquire practical knowledge.
• To train the students in soft skills which include the work ethic, attitude, Communication skills, emotional intelligence and whole host of other personal attributes

A long-term goal is something you want to do further in the future; it is a goal which usually takes 12 months or more

• To make the students to acquires additional knowledge in all the subjects to face any competitive examinations
• To make the students to get the P.G Degree with higher ranks
• To guide the students to plan themselves for a brilliant career in future
• To train the students well skilled to face any interviews to achieve the goals
• To prepare the students to carry out any type of field work towards the end of the PG course to carryout field programmes in any related companies.

Availability of sufficient infrastructure; Availability of young and energetic teaching faculty and the students by a senior most professor working as resource Faculty, Availability of eminent people having expertise in applied aspects of Geology and Geophysics

• To get the well suited and high quality infrastructure to provide sufficient Facilities for the students as well as teaching faculty
• To get the Teaching faculty well trained in field work and surveying methods to Train the students
• To improve the Teaching and laboratory facilities to attract the students to join the department
• To arrange guest lectures by experienced persons in the field
• To Introduce another course which is useful to the society and to develop the Department

Within 2 years of students Post graduating with a degree from Geology at Dr.B.R.Ambedkar University, an alumnus should have the knowledge and skills to:

• Find and evaluate data, models, hypotheses, and conclusions published in publicly available scientific literature. Apply knowledge and techniques from chemistry, biology, geology, physics, mathematics, and computing to help solve scientific problems.
• Conduct an independent scientific investigation.
• Make cogent presentations of scientific data, observations, interpretations, and conclusions in written and oral formats.
• Be aware of scientific issues that affect society at large. Collaborate with others, including multidisciplinary groups, to solve scientific problems, and to recognize ethical issues in each respective profession.
• Understand the need for, and develop the abilities to engage in, lifelong learning

• The two year post graduate course in M.Sc Geophysics comprises both pure and application aspects of Geophysics. The basic objective in designing the syllabus is to make the student to understand about mother earth its constitution, the physical fields associated with it, Geodynamic processes that are taking/took place, natural hazards like earthquakes, volcanoes etc., Environmental problems besides providing a thorough understanding of Oceans.
• The student will be given enough knowledge on all geophysical exploration methods, both with respective theory & practical skills. He will be thought application of all geophysical methods for exploring ground water, minerals, Hydrocarbons besides their application in environmental & engineering problems.
• The student will be doing a project work in as a part of course curriculum in the final year at any of the professional/ research/ organizations/ oil industries makes him to tackle a problem on his own an arrive at its solution. After completing two year of the MSc in Geophysics programme, you may go for Higher studies like M.Tech, M.S, Ph.D. programme etc.
