The Department of Geology, established in the academic year 2025-26, has been playing an important role in nurturing the geo-science education in this mineral rich state of Jharkhand. The laboratories in the Department are moderately well equipped with sophisticated instruments to support high quality teaching and research. The Department has a well maintained Museum that has a display of rocks, minerals and fossils from type areas and other geologically important horizons in India and abroad collected by its faculty members and research scholars.Outlook for employment in the Department is at its all-time best Geology jobs are more than just exploration for oil and mining: understanding geology underpins diverse efforts in urban planning, environmental restoration, analytical and research laboratories. So our graduates with a strong Geology training can confidently look forward to employment opportunities in a wide assortment of industries in addition to research funding institute.

The Department finds itself singularly fortunate in being equally strong both in hard rock (petrology, mineralogy and geochemistry) and soft rock domains (palaeontology, stratigraphy, sedimentary, coal and petroleum geology). In addition there is an equally strong third group of structure and tectonics, hydrogeology, engineering geology and remote sensing. The specialists in the hard rock domain have diversified interests from deep crust-mantle to earth’s surface; origin, transport and interaction of melts and fluids in the crust and mantle.
