Launching of SIG is a significant contribution of Symbiosis to the nation in bringing the future technology within its reach. SIG provides a two-year postgraduate M. Sc. programme and opens a variety of opportunities for aspiring graduates to build their careers in this exciting field. It aims to train and empower professionals for analytical decision-making and in creating a potent resource of experts in geoinformatics to meet future challenges & high demand for skilled manpower.
