POST GRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAMME IN GEOINFOMARTICS
Course Details
The field of Geoinformatics is expanding rapidly as more industries are employing spatial data to manage their activities. It has great potential in environmental modelling and its analysis, studying climate change, disaster management and telecommunications, urban or rural planning, land use management, agriculture, defense sector and infrastructure development among others. There are various professional positions of GIS at different levels such as GIS Mapping Technician, GIS Data Specialist, GIS Application Specialist, GIS Business Analyst, GIS Operator, GIS Consultant, Geospatial Software Engineer, GIS Programmer, GIS Technical Assistant, etc.
The area of Geoinformatics will provide many opportunities to those having a background knowledge of Geography, Geology, Climatology, Meteorology, Urban Planning, Natural Resource Management, Environmental Science and Water Resource Management at Graduate level. Keeping this in mind, the six-month Post Graduate Certificate Programme in Geoinformatics is developed for the students who are graduate in earth Sciences (Geography, Geology, Environment, Disaster Management) or B.Sc., Computer Science, Engineering who wish to build their career in geospatial industry and want to be proficient in applying geo-information science in their respective field. This programme is also applicable for Social Science and Humanities researchers when geospatial data is a part of their study.

Career Prospect
Geoinformatics has a lot of potential in the job market because of the current and unexplored opportunities. The Geoinformatics field is expanding rapidly as more industries are employing spatial data to manage their activities. In recent years, government initiatives have increasingly focused on the development of smart cities. In this context, geospatial technologies are expected to play a vital role by supporting planning, infrastructure development, resource management, and service delivery. The application of geospatial data extends across a wide range of sectors, including urban administration, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, defense and missile systems, e-governance, advertising, and marketing. As a result, the demand for skilled professionals in this domain continues to rise.
There are various professional positions of GIS at different levels. Some of them are GIS Mapping Technician, GIS Data Specialist, GIS Application Specialist, GIS Business Analyst, GIS Operator, GIS Consultant, Geospatial Software Engineer, GIS Programmer, GIS Technical Assistant etc.
The private sector also offers a considerable number of opportunities, particularly for software developers with expertise in GIS and Remote Sensing technologies.
For those interested in research and academia, Geoinformatics can be pursued up to the doctoral (Ph.D.) level, providing access to positions in esteemed research organizations at the national and international levels.
This field is especially beneficial for graduates from disciplines such as Geography, Geology, Climatology, Meteorology, Urban Planning, Natural Resource Management, Environmental Science, and Water Resource Management. A background in these subjects provides a strong foundation for applying theoretical knowledge to practical, real-world challenges through Geoinformatics.
