Course Description
The courses Integrated M.Tech. in Geophysical Technology and Geological Technology are both 5 year programmes and admission to these courses are solely through JEE. A general doubt which engulfs the crowd is how different are the two branches, especially while filling choices during counselling procedure.
Both these branches share a fare number of courses every semester for they are both interlinked in their prospects, like two wheels of the same bicycle; one can’t function without the other. However, they are quite different at the elementary level. While Geological Technology deals solely with geology of earth and its elements, Geophysical Technology uses this information along with technical data obtained from various exploration techniques. On simpler terms, while a geologist tells you which location and geology is apt for finding oil, a geophysicist uses complex exploration techniques to provide petroleum engineers the exact location of oil.
