Hello Aspirant,
Geology is one of the great upcoming feilds. Scope of geology is widening due to growing environmental concerns by people amd government.
While doing Bsc in geology you will get to learn about how to discuss and plan future of resources found on earth, you will also learn to discuss problems caused by natural and man made disasters, how to predict disasters and much more.
Inorder to do Bsc in Geology you should have passed your 10+2 with Physics Chemistry And Mathematics as your core subjects.
After doing Bsc Geology you can go on to study minning, petrology, geophysics etc. or else you can go on to become a Meteorologist, Geophysicists, Geologists, Environmental educator, and much more.
After having a bachelor degree in geology you as a complete fresher without any experience of the job would get a salar of around 10,000 to 20,000 for private sector depending on the company and around 25,000 for government sector.
Some of the best colleges for doing Bsc Geology in India are:
  • Hansraj College, New Delhi
  • IIT BOMBAY , MUMBAI
  • St. XAVIERS , MUMBAI
  • Fergusson College, Pune
  • IIT, Bengal
And there are many more.

If you want to persue Msc In Geology after completion of your Bsc you can do that as there would be much more scope after Msc.
There are many government sector examinations which are conducted by UPSC which you can give. Theres something called as Combined geo scientists examination by UPSC which you can give after your MSC.
This will help.ypu a lot in making your career better. After Msc you can give GATE and get in PSU. Or else you can do PhD or go into research.
After Msc you can either go into research or do a job. Depending on your college you can get good placements in companies such as ONGC, OIL , IOCL.
Theres so much to do after your bachelor and masters degree in geology. If you are interested in doing something scope develops in that feild.
Not only India but theres a lot of scope for geologist in Europe and US you can look for them too.
Hope your queries were solved. If you have further doubts you can write them in the comments section.
