The FYUGP in Geospatial Technology is an interdisciplinary program crafted to develop spatial scientists and problem-solvers ready to shape the future through technology, data, and planning. Rooted in the latest developments in geoinformatics, this program blends theory, technology, and fieldwork, preparing students for impactful careers across sectors. |
| Graduates of the FYUGP in Geospatial Technology program at IUST have extensive career opportunities aligned with India’s Geospatial Policy, which
promotes the democratization and commercialization of geospatial data. With the Indian government emphasizing self-reliance in geospatial technologies and boosting private sector participation, graduates can play key roles as GIS analysts, remote sensing specialists, cartographers, urban planners, and environmental consultants across sectors like infrastructure development, smart cities, disaster management, agriculture, and public health. Their expertise in AI, big data analytics, UAV-based mapping, and spatial data infrastructure (SDI) makes them valuable for India's expanding geospatial industry, supporting projects under Digital India, Gati Shakti, and climate resilience initiatives. The policy’s focus on open data and innovation also encourages research in climate science, hydrology, and geospatial AI, with opportunities for higher studies in Geomatics, Remote Sensing, and AI-driven Geoinformatics. Graduates can contribute to government agencies like ISRO, NRSC, Survey of India, and MoHUA, collaborate with private firms like Esri India, MapmyIndia, and Hexagon, or establish startups in geospatial AI,
precision agriculture, and location-based services. As India's geospatial sector experiences rapid growth, these professionals will be at the forefront of
technological advancements, driving policy implementation, sustainable development, and digital transformation. |
