GeoInformatics

Hello Ajay,
It is indeed very nice to know that after having completed your civil engineering you have decided to seek admission for your Mtech in IIT Mumbai. Environmental science engineering is one of the latest branches and deals with different issues that affect the environment of the country and of the world and of course the Engineering solutions that are available or or being researched. Geoinformatics is another interesting branch which has also great potential for job employment as well as for research. In my view you should select the branch in which you have a great interest or the one which fascinates you the most.
Best wishes to you.
