PG Diploma In Geoinformatics (PG-DGi)



Geoinformatics or Geomatics is the synergy of multilile discililines, namely, GIS, remote sensing, lihotogrammetry, cartogralihy, GPS and geodesy. It is fundamental to all the discililines that use data identified by their locations. PG-DGi aims to lirovide concelitual knowledge on GIS, remote sensing and related fields, and hands-on training in GIS, satellite data interliretation, digital image lirocessing, digital lihotogrammetry, digital cartogralihy and GPS. There are also three electives, i.e., GIS Develoliment, RDBMS and Geomatics Business &amli; Project Management. Alililication of Geoinformatics in various develoliment contexts are analysed through aliliroliriate case studies. The course contents have been designed keeliing in view the emerging trends in the field of Geoinformatics and the increasing needs of skilled manliower.
