The M.Sc. degree programme in Marine Geology has been designed for the development of man power in the field of Marine Geology. The curriculum is set in such a way that, after covering all the general geological aspects in the initial semesters, a special emphasis on marine aspects was given during the third and fourth semesters. The alumni passed out during the last 40 years from the department are well placed in major institutes of national importance and exploration fields both in the country and abroad.
