NPTEL Geology Syllabus Videos For GATE/NET/ PSU Exams

Welcome to the Comprehensive NPTEL Geology Syllabus, an all-in-one preparation masterclass specifically curated for GATE, NET, and PSU aspirants. This massive compilation brings together 15 of the most highly-regarded undergraduate and postgraduate level geology courses from India's premier institutes (IITs and Central Universities) into a single, structured learning path.

Spanning 715 in-depth video lectures, this course provides unparalleled, comprehensive coverage of the core geological sciences. Whether you are aiming to master the mathematical complexities of geophysics, understand the microscopic intricacies of petrology, or decode the vast history of the Earth through stratigraphy and radiogenic isotopes, this course serves as your definitive guide.

What You Will Learn (Modules Included):

• Tectonics and Geodynamics: Plate motions, mantle convection, and structural deformation.
• Structural Geology Practicals (Basic): 3D structural data, map reading, and stereographic projections.
• Spatial Information Science: GIS, cartography, and spatial analytics.
• Reservoir Geophysics for Hydrocarbon Exploration: Seismic reflection, well-logging, and resource characterization.
• Mathematical Geophysics: Potential field theory, wave propagation, and modeling.
• Geomorphic Processes: Landforms, weathering, and landscape evolution.
• Earth System Science: Holistic interactions of the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.
• Engineering Geology and Geotechniques: Geotechnical properties, hazard assessment, and civil applications.
• Fundamentals of Geophysical Methods: Gravity, magnetic, electrical, and seismic survey methods.
• Geology - Geochemistry: Thermodynamics, trace elements, and chemical evolution of the Earth.
• Petrology: Comprehensive study of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
• Photo Geology and Remote Sensing: Aerial photography, photogrammetry, and satellite data interpretation.
• Radiogenic Isotope Geology: Radioactive decay, geochronology, and isotopic dating.
• Principles of Stratigraphy: Laws of stratigraphy, facies analysis, and correlation techniques.
• Introduction to Sequence Stratigraphy: Basin analysis, sea-level changes, and sedimentary architecture.
