Hi,

Firstly, Geology is a subject which includes a wide range of topics. Apart from Oil and Mining sectors the topics like Climate science, Oceanography, Climate modelling, Remote sensing and GIS, Marine Geochemistry and similar trending topics will provide some opportunity to you after your post graduation. Thus each of these topics have a broad scope. So, the scope is good.

Presently the Mining and Oil & Gas sector is not doing well globally, which is well known. This has resulted in lay offs and low recruitment rates. Its would be very hard to get into them until the oil prices rises which is not looking to do in the near future.

The positive thing here is the research sector which is doing well. There are a good amount of PhDs that are around. Now, suppose you have completed your M.Sc. and you start applying outside.

greetings,

you can become a lecturer in a government college, a biology teacher in a government school.

you may even become a research scientist or a principal research scientist by appearing for respective entrances.

you can give ssc exams and UPSC exam.

you can get a job in ICAR.

hope this helps.

good luck
