Hi Rajinder,
It's unfortunate that you were unable to pursue education after your 10th due to family issues. Science, Commerce & Humanities are the three streams available after 10th for 11th & 12th class studies and you have to choose one of them for your further studies.
You need to contact the institute officials personally for specific admission details as it differs from one school / college to another. You may also consult your previous school / college, if they can re-consider your case. I would request you to contact your Head of Department / school regarding the procedure set forth by the school / college.
However, you may pursue your education via NIOS / distance or correspondence mode of learning. There may be some difference in Correspondence and Regular course, i would say it varies from one subject to the other also from one degree to the other. However in general a course through distance learning does not have as much value as the regular one so if you can do a regular course, it would hold a lot of importance and thus be a much better option. The acceptability and recognition of a full time course is higher in industry and the long term career gains are good. Correspondence courses are ideally meant for those who are working and cannot leave their jobs to further their education. It is only to leverage ones experience and not so much as a stand alone degree. The employ-ability of a full time degree holder is the most and those with a distance education degree may face a drawback as far as employment options with MNCs are concerned. However, what is also relevant is your experience; skills and profile should match the profile needed for the job and organization. Thus it would be best for you to pursue a full time course.
You may also choose to do a diploma course via polytechnic.

Hello Jayeeta,
There are very few schools offering MS in Remote Sensing and GIS. Two of them are Florida Institute of Technology and University of Maryland. You will find most universities offering GIS or Remote Sensing in their Earth Science or Computer Science programme. Other options include Colorado School of Mines, University of Colorado Boulder, University of California Davis.
Please check the university websites for admission details. Some of them do not require the GMAT. I will also suggest you to write to these universities to know more about your choice of specialization.
Hope this helps. Feel free to write back for any clarifications.
