subject: Sig: Indias Premier Geo Informatics Institute [print this page] The science of Geoinformatics plays a very important role in shaping the future of the nation. With advancing times, the study of the science dealing with structure and character of spatial information is becoming all together more important to pursue the magnanimous targets of development. Established way back in 2004, the Symbiosis Institute of Geoinformatics was born as an after effect of this insight. Catering to the niche sector of Geoinformatics, SIG has specialized in offering carefully planned courses to students aspiring to build a career in the science of dealing with aspects of spatial information. A part of the prestigious symbiosis institutes in Pune, SIG has emerged as a preferred grooming ground from the future scientists of the country.
SIG operates under the guidance of the globally renowned Symbiosis International University. Currently, it offers degrees ranging from M.Sc. In Geo Informatics, M. Tech in Geoinformatics, Post graduate diploma in Geo Informatics and even courses like disaster management. SIG has also developed certificate courses that allow students to pursue their interest in areas like Photogrammetric mapping and Remote sensing. These courses are planned under esteemed guidance of industry experts and renowned academicians of Symbiosis Institutes in Pune. Detailing every aspect of the course through such careful planning, SIG equips its students with a leading edge when it comes to academic exposure.
SIG has a dedicated team working round the clock to keep the students abreast with the latest in Geo spatial sciences. The emphasis at Symbiosis Institute of Geoinformatics has always been to inculcate amongst its students the needed skill set to become leaders of the innovations in the Geo Spatial sector in the future. The academic exposure is coupled with ample number of practical experiences in the form of industry visits, internships, voluntary projects and a lot more that keeps the students of SIG busy throughout the year.
Programs like M. Sc. and M. Tech at SIG are covered over a span of four semesters spanning over two years. But there are also Post graduate diploma programs and customized certificate courses for those with prior background in Geo spatial sciences that equip the students with the needed academic qualification in a relatively lesser duration. SIG has opened Admissions for the upcoming batch 2013-2015. All those interested to build a career in the Geoinformatics, rush to register on the SIG website.

Admissions to these courses happen through the SNAP test, an aptitude test conducted for admission to most of the symbiosis institutes. On registering for SNAP, aspirants need to apply to SIG separately. Based on the SNAP score and eligibility, SIG invites shortlisted students to participate in the group discussion and personal interview that follows. Students are able to satisfactorily clear these rounds are then welcomed on the SIG campus to shape their dreams of a grand career in the Geoinformatics sector.
The rigorous training coupled with state-of-the-art infrastructure and practical exposure helps the students maximize their learning abilities. A result of this dedication is seen in the year on year successful placement records, registered by SIG. It is gradually emerging as one of the most successful institutes catering to the Geoinformatics sector in India. Lead by the exemplary vision of Brig. Khanzode; SIG continues to achieve its goal of creating expert human resources to cater to the niche requirements of the Geoinformatics sector.
