DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY

About the Department

The Department of Geography started its journey in 1996 with general course. However, within few years, the institute was able to launch an Honours course in 2004 to meet the growing demand of the local people. In its very inception, few guest lecturers served the department. Later, in April 2010 three assistant professors and in May 2017 one assistant professor had joined. At present, the department has also two SACT-I faculties to provide services to the students. Alumni of this department have successfully established themselves in school service, police service, business, public sector and private sector etc. After qualifying NET/SET exams, few alumni have engaged in research activities in various universities. Faculties relentlessly engage themselves in career building and personality formation of the students. The department has a GIS laboratory with 18 computers where students are trained in Microsoft Office as well as open-source software. This laboratory is also used for WBJEE mock training, project work and language training etc. In addition to these, there is a wellequipped laboratory with modern instruments to serve the students. Students actively participate in various departmental activities and programs such as class seminar, wall magazine publications, orientation programs, freshers’ welcome, farewells and reunions etc.
