Earth Science
Earth Science deals basically with subjects
such as geography, geology, oceanography, and concerned with the study of the
earth, its composition or any of its
changing aspects.
Earth scientists or Geoscientists are the caretaker of the earth?s resources and
environment. They use their knowledge to increase our understanding of earth
processes and to improve the quality of
human life. Their work and career paths vary widely because the geosciences are
so broad and diverse.
Geosciences is not only just interesting as it involves the exploration of
mysteries of earth, it is also a lucrative career option opening a wide range of
opportunities to the aspirants of this course.
T.K. Biswal, HOD, Dept. of Earth Sciences, IIT Bombay Says, ?The Study of Earth
Sciences is highly application-oriented
and lucrative. In the age of increasing demand for energy, knowledge of earth
sciences, aided with the advanced
searched methods, provides a chance to
explore the once unknown and difficult sources for coal and petroleum, automatic
minerals and geothermal energy.?
Earth Science Courses
A quite good number of institutions offer M.Tech course in the field of Earth Sciences. M.Sc program in geology, applied geology or geophysics cover theoretical aspects in this field, whereas M.Tech program covers practical application such as exploration of petroleum, metal and non-metallic minerals and ground water.
- M.Tech in Petroleum Geosciences
- M.Tech in Applied Geology
- M.Tech in Applied Geophysics
Earth Science Eligibility Criteria
Students who have completed M.Sc in geology, applied geology or geophysics
and have a valid score of GATE are eligible
for the M.Tech courses.
Earth Science Job Prospects
Placement is not a problem for the students of this course. Students can get
jobs in the oil sector, mining sector, remote sensing sector and petroleum
sector.
Geoscientists with experience have lucrative prospects in private consultancy
work also. International consulting opportunities are bright for those who have
had prior experience on international geoscientific projects.
Earth Science Pay Package
The salary of the students ranges from Rs.3 lakh to Rs.6 lakh per month
depending upon the sector one has joined.

I think that’s a responsibility that I have, to push possibilities, to show people, this is the level that things could be at. So when you get something that has the name Kanye West on it, it’s supposed to be pushing the furthest possibilities. I will be the leader of a company that ends up being worth billions of dollars, because I got the answers. I understand culture. I am the nucleus.
