I have qualified gate with low score.What to do further? Cant figure out. Can i apply in nits?

Aditya Sharma Student Expert 19th Apr, 2019

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.

Which is the best college for this

Abhijit_1514089823 Student Expert 23rd Feb, 2019

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

What are the specific skills required to be a geologist

KEZIA.S Stanley 5th Feb, 2019

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

Recommend colleges in which Ican become a geologist engineer

manisha.gupta 20th Sep, 2018

To be a geologist, you can either go for M.Sc. or M.Tech in Geology. For M.Sc., one can take up the JAM entrance exam and for M.Tech, one will have to appear in GATE entrance exam. It is highly advisable to check the eligibility criteria for both the exams and then proceed further. Geology in M.Tech is offered in some of the IIT's like Kanpur and Roorkee.

 

Good Luck!

If i take geography as a optional subject in class 11th(huminity stream) then can i become geologist?pleas give right answer

Ratula 3rd Aug, 2018

Hello Javidkhan,

Yes, you can. You have to take up geology in a college which admits students from backgrounds other than science in its UG course.

Then do an MA in geology, and later a Ph. D.

Then you can become a geologist.

Can a huminity student become a geologist?if yes then how?

Tanushree Seth 4th Aug, 2018

hello Javidkhan ,

yes , you can surely become a geologist .

  • To become a Geologist, the student must has completed their 10+2 examination from any stream & pursues a bachelor’s degree from any university.
  • After passing the bachelor degree, students can pursue the master degree. If you want to get admission in government colleges, you have to appear for the national level exam like GATE 2019 .
  • Some universities conduct their own exams.

Hope this helps.

Regards
