Vidyasagar University is the pioneer university that introduced the M.Sc degree in Remote Sensing and GIS. A number of scientists who have retired from government organizations visit the department often.
The faculty involved in teaching the topics is arguably some of the best in West Bengal. The same can be said about the research activities conducted in the university.
The placement scene is also admirable as the students get employed as soon as they complete the course. You can get a job role in research organizations such as NATMO, DST, organizations pertaining to carrying out space research, private companies such as Cyberswift, Rolta, ESRI, etc.
If you are interested in technology and computer software then make sure you go for remote sensing. It would do you good if you have some basic knowledge of Physics and Mathematics you have done in your class 12 board exams. You can brush them up while pursuing the course.
