Program Specific Outcomes

B. A. in Geography (Part I+II+III System)

Geography concerns with the spatio-temporal analysis of the physical, social, cultural, religious, political, etc. components. Geography mainly concerns changes in spatial attributes from a temporal perspective. The nature of geography has been shifted from descriptive to decision making. All the decision-making processes are based on geographical understandings. Hence, the B.A. in geography is tailored to meet the students’ specific educational and professional goals in mind. It focuses on spatial studies, qualitative as well as quantitative, and emphasizes the human-environment relationship. During the first year of the program, the students are trained on advanced concepts of physical and human geography. The third-year allows them to concentrate on specific areas of the subject, on which they complete their field reports. After completing the course, the students will be amply prepared for professional careers in geography and allied disciplines like GIS and Remote Sensing. They will also be able to pursue M.A. /M.Sc.
