India has around 21 Earth Science colleges and these colleges offer the courses on various levels. So, the course fee depends on the course level, type, specializations, and more. However, the average course fee ranges between INR 2,400 to INR 3.84 Lakh.

Earth Science is a multi-disciplinary and it includes a number of specializations such as Astronomy, Oceanography, Meteorology, and Geology. However, the the easiest among them is Geology. Under Geology, you'll get to study Earth's processes, materials, and history, geology often involves learning about rocks, minerals, and tectonic plate movements. And, students usually find this subject more manageable, particularly when compared to other lab-intensive sciences.
