B.Tech Geo-informatics Engineering is basically an undergraduate engineering course concerned with the acquisition, processing production, presentation of spatial information, including value-adding to spatial data which are later analyzed on the general foundations of Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science.
This program basically entails the understanding and simulation of scientific data required for the monitoring, construction, development of geo-structures. It also requires the analysis of the results and finally leads to the software/simulation developed the career of the geo-structures. The technology of dealing with the structure of spatial information and their classification or qualification including their storage, portrayal, and dissemination is known as Geo-informatics which also includes the infrastructure necessary to secure an optimum use of information. The curriculum involves solving various problems related to geography, geosciences and related branches.
Geo-informatics is an emerging industry that offers excellent career avenue and immense potential and there is a dearth of skilled engineers in this field and hence it offers a very promising career to the ones pursuing this field. Candidates performing well get officer level jobs, teaching jobs at the entry level.
One who wants to join Horticulture should pass the qualifying examination with an aggregate score of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. After completing the same, the student has to appear for the Joint Entrance Exam Main (JEE - Main) to get admission into one of the top colleges or universities in India.
Most of the engineering colleges in India offer admission to students based on the JEE Main examination. It is a national level entrance examination done by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in India.
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is the national level apex authority responsible for the regulation and control of all engineering colleges and courses available in India. AICTE is the statutory authority responsible for proper planning and coordination on the development of the technical education system in India.
Geo-Informatics is beneficial for the country to produce professionals working towards the economic and physical development. With GIS one can visualize and analyze the geographic data for various uses. The other benefits of GIS are site selection, improvement in the extraction of natural resources and improving the efficiency of fleet movements. Geo-informatics help in locating anything in the spatial world and hence it helps Business Analysts, Environmental Planners, Natural Hazard Analyst, Geological Engineers, Forest Manager, Hydrological Engineers, City Planners and many other fields. Every area ranging from urban administration to unmanned aerial vehicle technology and even to missiles depend on Geo-spatial data. There are still undiscovered opportunities like spatial visualization, spatial intelligence, augmented reality in Geo-space and conservation of the Earth.
