What is the scope of B.Sc in geology?

Geology prepares you to be part of varied areas, right from resource management and environmental protection to mineral and oil exploration. They can specialise in innumerable fields. A geologist can work in engineering and consulting firms, government agencies, mining companies, petroleum companies, museums. The UPSC conducts exams for placement in GSI, Central Ground Water Board etc. They also have an option to take up IAS/Forestry Service. PSUs like ONGC, Hindustan Zinc Ltd conducts All India Entrance exam for hiring Geologists. With an advanced degree, a geologist will qualify for supervisory/ research/ teaching positions through NET in Universities or institutes. Demand for geologists often mirror the price of geological commodities such as fuels, metals and construction materials. As rise in international oil price directly relates to Geology. The oil companies become more viable for exploration and this creates a major demand for Geologists in the market.
