What is the scope of Geoinformatics in India?
Geoinformatics- A promising career for youthTalk about Geoinformatics and no one know about them. Say Google Maps, satellite or GPS enabled cabs and interest come quickly!The geoinformatics field is in its early stage and expanding at a rapid pace as more industries are employing spatial data to manage their activities.Nowadays Government wants to make cities smart in the path of Modi. But do you know how much Geo-spatial technology will contribute to making your smart city? Every area ranging from urban administration and unmanned aerial vehicle technology to missile, e-governance and even advertising and marketing today depend on Geo-spatial data. Most of the countries in the world have started specializing in Geographical Information System (GIS) after understanding its future impact. It is a key emerging and evolving industry in the 21st century that offers an excellent career avenue with immense potential and many as-yet undiscovered opportunities like in spatial data visualization, spatial Intelligence, augmented reality in Geo-space and conservation of the earth dataYou can see more details of the Industry in my blog here Geospatial Industries in 21st CenturyGIS professionals can be hired at various levels in positions like GIS Mapping Technician, GIS Data Specialist, GIS Application Specialist, GIS Business Analyst, GIS Engineer, GIS Operator, GIS Consultant, Geospatial Software Engineer, GIS Programmer, and GIS Technical Assistant.If you want to see where we can get jobs in India you can see this blog of mine describing it and the skills you have to learn for that.Career Opportunities in Geoinformatics in IndiaFor useful GIS knowledge check my site Ayush Aggarwal | Personal Website
Can I get a job as a space researcher in the ISRO after completing a B.Tech from a private college?
“Yes you can” get post as a space researcher in the ISRO after completing a B.TechISRO often picks up graduates and post-graduate engineering from IITs, NITs and other reputed government and private institutions. So it is better to have a degree in a course that is more likely to be shortlisted for the consideration of such jobs such as B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Radio Engineering, and Engineering Physics. There is sometimes a requirement of electronic engineers and developers as well. There are sometimes vacancies for other engineering branches as well.One would need to make sure that his/her record stays academically good throughout as the selection criteria set by ISRO for hiring a fresher as a scientist is not very tolerant at its thresholds, so to stand out is an essential requirement.After completing B.Tech from any college, an examination namely ICRB (centralized Recruitment Bangalore) is conducted by ISRO and individuals are tested as per their respective branches of engineering and after clearing the interview, one can get appointed as a scientist or an engineer at ISRO. Candidates must have a minimum aggregate percentage of 65% and above in B.tech in their respective relevant streams.After the completion of M.Tech or D. in trades such as Geoinformatics, Remote Sensing, Instrumentation, applied Mathematics, Geophysics, Geography or any other equivalent degree in the field of Physics or Mathematics one can apply directly for the job of a scientist at ISRO. The selection consists of written exam and Interview and after clearing these sages scientist/Engineer position can be obtained in ISRO.One can get selected as the junior research fellow in ISRO by this, they can get to research as scientists and engineers. The screening process for the selection of Scientist in such an organization is very tough and requires the best of knowledge, wits and a very presentable and calm attitude.The job of a scientist requires deep knowledge and a mindset for tackling tricky and patience testing problems, it is not necessary that these traits would be inherited by each and every person but to remember that these could as well be the key to one’s selection is a big reason to enhance them. With these skills, being good on record is also very important.Hope this will help you !~Sainadh
