Genesis
The Department of Geology was established in the year 2017 to facilitate teaching, learning and research in the thrust areas of geosciences and address critical challenges, particularly in the exploration of natural resources. It is committed to nurturing future Geologists and Geoscientists with a focus on academic excellence and modern industrial techniques. Specialized areas of study include petroleum exploration, geotechnical engineering and mineral exploration. The Department of Geology offers M.Sc., Applied Geology and Ph.D. programmes in Geology. The Department consists of well experienced faculty members with teaching and research expertise in Hydrogeology, Geochemistry, Remote Sensing and GIS. The faculty of the Department collaborate with Industry and have signed MoU with MR Geological Solutions Pvt. Ltd. and Q-Gate InfoTech Pvt. Ltd. The staff members completed 2 major and 1 minor projects with financial assistance from various funding agencies. The faculty members and scholars have published more than 60 research articles in reputed journals and contributed to book chapters. The department produced 141 postgraduates, 5 M. Phils and 1 Ph.D. Presently, 6 Ph.D. scholars are pursuing their research.
Vision- To create highly competent professionals in Geology who contribute to the academia and industry by undertaking innovative research, making inventions and developing new technology.

Major Research Areas
Geology, the science of our planet, encompasses a vast spectrum of research areas. Here's a glimpse into some of the major subjects that explore the Earth:
- Hydrogeology: Delve into the world of groundwater, a vital resource, and understand its movement, distribution, and importance for life on Earth.
- Mineralogy: Delve into the fascinating world of minerals, the building blocks of rocks, exploring their composition, formation, and identification.
- Petrology: Uncover the secrets locked within rocks – igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic – by studying their formation, composition, and textures.
- Sedimentology and Stratigraphy: Learn how layered sedimentary rocks act as Earth's history books, revealing past environments and climates.
- Paleontology: Embark on a journey through time alongside paleontologists, who study fossils to reconstruct the history of life on Earth.
- Environmental Geology: Address the impact of human activities on our planet, including issues like climate change, pollution, and natural hazards.
- Remote sensing: Remote sensing involves using sensors on satellites, aircrafts, or even drones to collect data about Earth from a distance. This data can be in the form of images, capturing details like land cover, vegetation health, or even temperature variations.
- GIS (Geographic Information System): GIS acts as a powerful digital tool. It can store, analyze, and visualize all sorts of geographic data, including remote sensing data. Think of it as a map on steroids, allowing you to layer information, identify patterns, and gain deeper insights.
