I'm absolutely satisfied with the faculty, infrastructure, and facilities available.

Placements: The placement option for GIS students is limited compared to other courses. But we do have an opportunity to meet and interact with some great people during our final semester. This allows us to choose which company or platform we are best suited for. And also depend on how we represent ourselves in front of them.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the institute is one of the best. The Library is available and open to everyone. So many books by great authors and the latest magazines and research journals are available to study. The classroom is equipped with a projector. The best part is the labs. The best place to learn and do practical work.

Faculty: All the faculty members are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching method is very easy and very interesting. The course curriculum is up-to-date, very relevant, and makes the study ready for industry. Assignments are given after every practical.

Geoinformatics course in designed in such way that any graduate from non technical background can also Survive and learn from basics to advance with his/her will power. Here I mention that students are required to give their best in learning and adapting new learnings. Semesters exams are not much complicated but, student has to revise the learnings everyday so that it makes easy to qualify the exam.

Other: Since, I was attending my UG programme in Agriculture, I found a curiosity in GIS and GPS location services. I searched for more information on internet. I was exited to study Geoinformatics and apply that knowledge in Agriculture field.
