Geosciences and Remote Sensing Scope

This career is very experience and field oriented. The main job of the Geoscience Engineers is to improve the way people use land and natural resources. They may determine where to put in a dam or tunnel, the best way to harvest natural resources, or how to build buildings that can withstand earthquakes.

 Next thing they can work on is collaborating with builders on major construction projects, help develop environmental clean-up plans, and also play a role in reducing the damage caused by natural hazards. The top recruiters in the industry are CISCO, Oracle, Toshiba, Tata, Phillips offering a decent pay package to the graduates of BTech Geosciences Engineering degree holders.

The scope is great in India ans abroad as well. The scope is good from the bachelor’s level itself but the students who choose to go for Masters level can get better jobs in the field.
