Sir, I am currently applying to an M.Sc programme in Geo-informatics. I have B.Sc in Geography and Regional Planning. Is it possible to marry both at Ph.d level?

You need to complete the masters degree in the same field to pursue the Ph.D. The Ph.D program in Geo informatics focuses on studies which include aspects of Geo informatics including applications and development of models, algorithms. Any Ph.D programme consists of thesis writing, research and presentation. As far as eligibility is concerned, you need to have Masters Degree in the relevant field. There will be presentation of Thesis Topic and interview conducted by specific institutes after the entrance exam results. In some cases, you need to be NET cleared also.
