Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I don’t have a tech background. Can I still join?

Absolutely! If you’re from any science-based discipline and willing to learn, we offer hands-on learning starting from the basics.

It’s practice-driven. Most of your time will be spent exploring software, tools, and project-based learning.

Not at all necessary. While some coding can help in automation or advanced features, most GIS tools have user-friendly interfaces.

Definitely. GIS and remote sensing professionals are in demand across government agencies, NGOs, and private enterprises — both in India and abroad.

Yes. These technologies are globally recognized. Our alumni have gone on to study and work in countries like Canada, Germany, and Australia.

It is a full-time program, but the schedule is thoughtfully designed. If you’re a working professional with a flexible job, you might be able to manage both.
