Applicant must have opted Mathematics Hons. or studied Mathematics in all the three years at Graduate level.
Selection Process: The admission to these courses will be made on the basis of merit in the entrance tests to be conducted by BHU.
A Common Entrance Test will be held M.Sc Environmental Sciences (Earth & Atmospheric Sciences) / (Ecological Sciences) / (Environmental Biotechnology). There will be one paper of 120 minutes duration, comprising Section A and B carrying 360 marks and based on multiple choice question of the Graduate Level. Applicant will have to attempt both sections. Section A will have 40 questions from basic Environmental Science and Section B will have 80 questions from each sub sections such as Life Sciences, Physical sciences and Earth Sciences. Applicant has to select only one sub section from Section B. The entrance Test for M.Sc. in Mathematics and Computing will have one paper of 120 minutes duration, carrying 360 marks containing 120 multiple choice questions based on graduate level of the Mathematics. The Test for admission to Master in Business Economics and Management will be a written test of 120 minutes durations carrying 360 marks with 120 multiple choice questions, based on undergraduate Level Knowledge on Business Economics, Management, Mathematics and Reasoning, Micro Economics, Macro Economics, Money and Banking, International Economics, Environmental Economics, Economics of Development and Growth, Public Economics, Indian Economy and Mathematics for Economics. More information elated to the tests is available in the Bulletin available at http://bhuonline.in/
Entrance test will be held on 24 June 2018 at Varanasi, Rajiv Gandhi South Campus-Barkachha, Mirzapur, Delhi, Hyderabad and Kolkatta provided there are sufficient number of candidates for the concerned Centre.

Geologic and tectonic framework of the Indian shield

  Major Terms and Regions Explained 1. Indian Shield The Indian Shield refers to the ancient, stable core of the Indian Plate made of hard crystalline rocks. It comprises Archean to Proterozoic rocks that have remained tectonically stable over billions of years. Important Geological Features and Regions ▪️ Ch – Chhattisgarh Basin A sedimentary basin part of the Bastar Craton . Contains rocks of Proterozoic age , mainly sedimentary. Important for understanding the evolution of central India. ▪️ CIS – Central Indian Shear Zone A major tectonic shear zone , separating the Bundelkhand and Bastar cratons . It records intense deformation and metamorphism . Acts as a suture zone , marking ancient tectonic collisions. ▪️ GR – Godavari Rift A rift valley formed due to stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust. Associated with sedimentary basins and hydrocarbon resources . ▪️ M – Madras Block An Archean crustal block in...

Seismicity and Earthquakes, Isostasy and Gravity

1. Seismicity and Earthquakes in the Indian Subcontinent Key Concept: Seismicity Definition : The occurrence, frequency, and magnitude of earthquakes in a region. In India, seismicity is high due to active tectonic processes . Plate Tectonics 🌏 Indian Plate : Moves northward at about 5 cm/year. Collision with Eurasian Plate : Causes intense crustal deformation , mountain building (Himalayas), and earthquakes. This is an example of a continental-continental collision zone . Seismic Zones of India Classified into Zone II, III, IV, V (Bureau of Indian Standards, BIS). Zone V = highest hazard (e.g., Himalayas, Northeast India). Zone II = lowest hazard (e.g., parts of peninsular India). Earthquake Hazards ⚠️ Himalayas: prone to large shallow-focus earthquakes due to active thrust faulting. Northeast India: complex subduction and strike-slip faults . Examples: 1897 Shillong Earthquake (Magnitude ~8.1) 1950 Assam–Tib...

Vector geoprocessing - Clipping, Erase, identify, Union & Intersection

Think of your vector data (points, lines, polygons) like shapes drawn on a transparent sheet. Geoprocessing is just cutting, joining, or comparing those shapes to get new shapes or information. 1. Clipping ✂️ Imagine you have a big map and you only want to keep a part of it (like cutting a photo into a smaller rectangle). You use another shape (like the boundary of a district) to "clip" and keep only what is inside. Result: Only the data inside the clipping shape remains. 2. Erase 🚫 Opposite of clipping. You remove (erase) the area of one shape from another shape. Example: You have a city map and want to remove all the park areas from it. 3. Identify 🔍 This checks which features from one layer fall inside (or touch) another layer. Example: Identify all the schools inside a flood zone. 4. Union 🤝 Combines two shapes together and keeps everything from both. Works like stacking two transparent sheets and redrawing t...

vector data analysis in GIS Surface Analysis – Interpolation – IDW

1. Surface Analysis 🗺️ This is when we try to understand and visualize how a value changes across a surface (like land). The values might be temperature, rainfall, elevation, pollution levels, etc. We often start with only some points where we know the value, but we want to guess the values everywhere in between. 2. Interpolation 📍➡️📍 Interpolation is a way of estimating unknown values between known points. Imagine you know the temperature at a few weather stations, but you want to know the temperature everywhere in between. GIS uses math to "fill in the blanks" between the points. 3. IDW (Inverse Distance Weighted) 🎯 One popular interpolation method. The idea: Points that are closer to you have more influence than points farther away. Example: If you're standing between two rain gauges, the closer one's reading will affect your estimated rainfall more than the farther one. "Inverse Distance" means: The ...
