Hello User,

Hope you are doing well.

I am giving my views based on the mineral exploration and mining sector in Geo-sciences.

In India, after the changes made to the Mineral Policy, the Government sector looks bright like the GSI, MECL etc. There are plenty of scope for the earth scientists. Also there are opportunities with consultancy and contractor firms that can employ geologists. But for big private miners and explorers the scenario is not lucrative.

Academically there are very few reputed Indian institutes that support geology related research and development.

Globally countries like Australia, Canada, Africa and South America stand good in terms of employment in Geo-sciences. The mining bust period is over and there is optimism in the air. There are several multinational and junior companies engaged in mineral exploration and mining. This is one of the good periods for earth sciences because of the advancements, research and developments, new models, concepts etc that challenge the prevailing thinking and traditional way of exploration.

Also academically several prestigious institutes are available in the above countries and even in Europe. You can google and find them out.

I am not aware of your interests on specialization. You should take up a specialized subject that interests you rather than going by the prevailing trend.

Hope this will help you...Good Luck!

dear student,

as part of your question your degree is valid outside. there is a huge demand for geologist abroad and inside india.

as a graduate in geology you can apply for jobs both inside and outside india.

prepare your resume very well and apply in other countries.

otherwise take a masters degree from the country you want to work and get placed there.

hope your question is solved.
