M.Tech (Geo-informatics)

To mitigate the dearth of well qualified professionals to generate and manage geo spatial data base of natural resources and urban infrastructure using techniques of Geo-informatics and to meet the grossing demand for professionals with domain expertise in the field of geo-informatics, the KSRSAC has started two full time M. Tech programme in geo-informatics from 2004-05. This is in association with Visveswaraya Technological University (VTU) and Survey of India (SoI). Candidates who have passed BE degree from any recognized university with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks are eligible for admission. The candidates are selected on the basis of merit and ranking obtained in the post graduate entrance test conducted by VTU and through counseling.

This programme involves multi-disciplinary subjects especially related to the frontier technologies like remote sensing, GIS, GPS, photogrammetry, digital image processing, web GIS, artificial intelligence and expert system, besides a host of advanced subjects like project management, natural resources management, water resources management and disaster management designed to provide excellent theoretical knowledge to the students. Besides in house faculty, expert faculties are also drawn from the prestigious institutions like ISRO, SoI and Industry. These students are employed in MNCs, colleges and government departments.


Admissions



Admission to M.Tech Geoinformatics is open to all the candidates who have passed B.E. Examination with not less than 50% of marks in aggregate of all years of degree examination (5% relaxation for SC / ST and category 1 candidates) in Civil, Computer Science, Information Science and Environmental. Candidates who are qualified in GATE examination are given preference. If sufficient GATE qualified candidates are not available, the candidates are selected based on merit and ranking obtained in the common entrance examination held by KEA and through counseling. The sponsored candidates from State or Central Government and Quasi-Government organizations are eligible and 5 seats are reserved for them subject to merit in PGCET.

Medium of instruction is English. Attendance, Evaluation system and other requirements are followed as per VTU regulations.


Fee/Scholarship

The tuition fee for first and second semester in first year is Rs. 60,000/- besides, e-learning, examination and other fees of around Rs. 5,000/-; and the same rate of fee holds good for third and fourth semester during the second year. The students belonging to Backward Classes and SC/ST are eligible for the fee concession and scholarship provided by the Social Welfare Department as per rules.

Duration and Syllabus

  • First semester is of 18 weeks duration with class work followed by five weeks- examination and vacation. The students have to study four core subjects and one elective in both first and second semesters each subject for 100 marks.
  • Second semester consists of 18 weeks duration with class work followed by three weeks of examination and vacation.
  • Third semester is of 20 weeks duration consisting of project work phase II and have to study one core subject along with two electives followed by four weeks of vacation. Fourth Semester is 20 weeks project work. In the new scheme the project work is spread over three semesters so that the student would be able to develop mastery over several aspects of project work. Dissertation and viva is of 8 weeks duration.
  • Fourth semester The fourth semester is of 20 weeks duration during which the completion of project work is done. While the first two semesters concentrate on developing the theoretical base, the 3rd semester gives practical skills in all the domains of geoinformatics, and fourth semester focus on capacity building for project work. Continuous evaluation that includes seminars, group discussions, assignments, mini projects, class tests, and end of semester examinations judiciously blended to hone up candidate's cognitive and analytical capabilities.
