A good ground to prepare for civil services

Geography is one of the oldest earth sciences. Much of the geographical work dates to the Greek period. There are three major fields in geography:

Physical geography is mainly concerned with the study of natural features such as landforms, soil, water, etc.

Human Geography is concerned with study of humans, their built-up environment, their activities over space, so on.

Environmental Geography understands the relationship and interaction between humans and natural features.

The course is well designed to give more real and practical exposure to students regarding physical and human interactions over the surface of the earth. A lot of field-based activities are involved to understand the applicability of a particular concept from both physical as well as human perspectives. They are highly exposed to a large number of tools and methodologies for conducting their research like topographical sheets, GPS and many other instruments. Such direct field studies also give a scope for critical and scientific understanding of all the aspects.

These field-based studies and experiences provide a strong base to geography students in different research organizations. GIS and remote sensing have emerged as a more popular field of studies in geography along with disaster management in the contemporary era.

The curriculum of geography has been designed in such a manner that it is highly comprehensive and based on real-life situations and promotes employability. It provides an excellent ground to prepare for civil services. The number of candidates choosing geography for their civil service examination is increasing and that is followed by an excellent success rate.
