The Department of Geography endeavors to develop an inquiring mind, making learning a pleasure and prepare the students for academic or professional courses as well as confident enough to step into the professional world. In the department apart from the prescribed Calcutta University curriculum we also conduct seminars, quiz contests, field works, practical classes and many more innovative methods. The department offers 3-yearHonours degree course and 3-year general degree course. Through the use of ICT along with field excursions to geographically significant locations, knowledge of both theoretical and practical skills is imparted.
