Geophysics in India

Geophysics is one of the most high-demand fields in the world. In developing and developed countries alike the value of mineral resources is undeniable. Even when global trends are shifting to renewable resources the importance of minerals has not depreciated. Countries rich in natural minerals like Canada, Russia, Brazil and Venezuela have high demands for Geophysicists.

India is one of the countries rich in minerals. With the advancement of time and technology, India is also moving toward being a developed country from a developing country. Thus industrialization is also on the rise which means high demand for fuels and natural resources. The need for applying physics to interpret subsurface resources is also on the rise.

Geophysics students can seek recruitment at the Geological Survey of India as Scientists and Explorers, oil companies such as ONGC and Bharat Petroleum, oil refineries, or agricultural industries.
