Hello Aspirant,

Hope your doing good

the employment opportunities for Geologists are very good.

Employment Opportunities for a Geologist

Petroleum and mining companies.

Contracting firms.

Technical sales department.

Consulting geology and engineering firms.

Governments, educational institutions.

Teaching.

Manufacturing.

Environment protection firms.

jobs that can be taken are;

Geological Technologists: Their job is to conduct or direct geological or geophysical surveys and prospecting field trips, assist engineers and geologists in the evaluation and analysis of petroleum and mineral reservoirs. They also prepare/supervise the preparation of rock, mineral or metal samples and perform physical and chemical laboratory tests.

Engineering Geologist: Their job is to identify and deal with geological factors affecting engineering works. They consult geological maps and aerial photographs to advise on site selection and oversee the progress of specific contracts. They also assess the integrity of soil, rock, groundwater and other natural conditions prior to major construction projects.

Geological Technicians: The job of a Geological Technician is to participate in geological or geophysical surveys, prospecting field trips and environmental audits and operate and maintain geophysical survey and well-logging instruments and equipment.

Geochemist: They analyse the age, nature and components of rock, minerals, soil and other environmental samples, map specific geochemical areas for research and analysis and provide support and recommendations to mainstream geologists.

Geophysicist/Field Seismologist: They are responsible for controlling the quality of the seismic data collected and interpreting it in order to create maps of the build-up of hydrocarbons. They design, test, modify and repair seismic equipment and compile charts and reports.

Geoscientist: They are involved in interpreting geophysical, geochemical and geological data to develop models of the subsurface of the earth. They collect information in the field, from seismic and well data from other sources and monitor the acquisition of data to ensure consistent quality. Moreover, they implement new technologies in geological modelling and seismic processing.

Hello Tanzeela.

See if u have scored low in the GATE exam then u should be going for state colleges and private institutions which accept the low score for pursuing ur higher studies in the field of ur interest. U haven't mentioned ur marks so I can't give u any information about the NITs.

I m providing u a link for ur help.

Ask if NY query. Good luck

First of all congratulations for your achievement.

You can now apply as research associates both in India and abroad . You can also work in private corporate firms . You can start your professor career in several universities and govt colleges.

All the best for your career and hope you have a bright and promising career in near future. 

Thank You 

Hi !

A geologist is a scientist who studies the solid, liquid, and gaseous matter that constitutes the Earth and other terrestrial planets , as well as the processes that shape them. Geologists usually study geology , although backgrounds in physics , chemistry , biology , and other sciences are also useful. Field work is an important component of geology, although many subdisciplines incorporate laboratory work. Geologists work in the energy and mining sectors searching for natural resources such as petroleum , natural gas , and precious metals . They are also in the forefront of preventing and mitigating damage from natural hazards and disasters such as earthquakes , volcanoes , tsunamis and landslides . Their studies are used to warn the general public of the occurrence of these events. Geologists are also important contributors to climate change discussions.

The Top Best Colleges for M.Sc Geology in India are:

• Manipal Institute of Technology,[MIT]Manipal University.
• Fergusson College,[FC]Pune.
• Hans Raj College,Delhi University.
• MG Science Institute,[MGSI]Ahmedabad.
• Ravenshaw University,Cuttack.
• Indian Institute of Technology[IIT],Kharagpur

Hi Kuriakose,

Geoscientists typically work in one or more of several closely related fields, including geology, geophysics, and hydrology.  Reflecting the complexity of the natural world in which they work, most modern geoscientists possess interdisciplinary skills and often work in teams with other geoscientists whose expertise complements their own.

• Geologists study the composition, physical materials, and history of the Earth, usually with the goal of understanding the nature of processes that have formed the geologic record.

• Mineralogists analyze and classify minerals and minerals systems according to their composition, genesis earth. 

• Paleontologists study fossils to trace the evolution of plant and animal life and to decipher the geologic history of the Earth.

• Sedimentologists study the nature, origin, and distribution of sediments, such as gravel, sand, silt and mud.

• Geophysicists, a group that includes geodesists, seismologists, geomagnetisists, use mathematics and principles of physics to study Earth motions, gravitational field and earthquake.

• Geochemists study the nature and distribution of chemical elements in groundwater and Earth materials, usually with the goal of better comprehending the type of processes responsible for developing the compositional characteristics.

• Hydrogeologists study the quantity, composition, distribution, circulation, and physical properties of both surface water and groundwater, and often play an important role in decisions involving both resource-management and land-use.

• Engineering geologists apply geologic principles to the fields of civil and environmental engineering, using their knowledge to provide advice on major construction projects, environmental remediation, resource management, and natural-hazard reduction.

Basic skills required to excel in the above fields of geology:

• Excellent analytical skills 
• Ability to understand basic engineering principles 
• Mapping technique 
• Knowledge of geology and natural environments 

There is no specific course or training is required for the specialization of the above mentioned career expect a degree or doctorate in geology. 

Hope the above information will be helpful. 

Thank you
