INTRODUCTION

Geology is the science of the earth. It deals with the origin, composition, structure, physical development and biological evolution of the earth and the planetary system.
In the study of the earth, the geologist relies upon other basic science for example, physics, chemistry. Mathematics, zoology, botany etc.

Objectives of the Undergraduate Programme

The department offers a three or four-year B.Sc. honours degree programme in Geology and Mining. After the degree programme in Geology and Mining, graduates will be competent to undertake work as professional geologists, mining geologists or trainee goescientists in industry and government. The graduates may also pursue farther studies leading to advanced degrees in specialized areas of geological sciences.
