For admission to the Master in Business Economics and Management at the Department of Economics, applicant should hold Bachelor’s Degree in any discipline, such as, BA, B.Com, B.Sc., BBA, B.Tech./B.E., etc. under at least 10+2+3 pattern OR equivalent with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks. Applicant should also have minimum 50% marks at Higher and Senior Secondary level with Mathematics as one subject. However, the course requires advance knowledge of Mathematics.
For admission to M.Sc. in Mathematics and Computing at DST-Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences, eligibility is B.Sc (Hons)/B.A. (Hons)/B.Sc/B.A. under at least 10+2+3 pattern securing a minimum of 50% marks in the aggregate, considering all the three years of B.Sc/B.A. Courses [For B.Sc (Hons)/B.Sc only Science subjects and for B.A. (Hons)/B.A. all subjects except those subjects where only pass marks are required and which do not contribute to the total in the final (degree) mark sheet]. 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.

geostationary and sun-synchronous

Orbital characteristics of Remote sensing satellite geostationary and sun-synchronous Orbits in Remote Sensing Orbit = the path a satellite follows around the Earth. The orbit determines what part of Earth the satellite can see , how often it revisits , and what applications it is good for . Remote sensing satellites mainly use two standard orbits : Geostationary Orbit (GEO) Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) Geostationary Satellites (GEO) Characteristics Altitude : ~35,786 km above the equator. Period : 24 hours → same as Earth's rotation. Orbit type : Circular, directly above the equator . Appears "stationary" over one fixed point on Earth. Concepts & Terminologies Geosynchronous = orbit period matches Earth's rotation (24h). Geostationary = special type of geosynchronous orbit directly above equator → looks fixed. Continuous coverage : Can monitor the same area all the time. Applications Weather...

Disaster Management

1. Disaster Risk Analysis → Disaster Risk Reduction → Disaster Management Cycle Disaster Risk Analysis is the first step in managing disasters. It involves assessing potential hazards, identifying vulnerable populations, and estimating possible impacts. Once risks are identified, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategies come into play. DRR aims to reduce risk and enhance resilience through planning, infrastructure development, and policy enforcement. The Disaster Management Cycle then ensures a structured approach by dividing actions into pre-disaster, during-disaster, and post-disaster phases . Example Connection: Imagine a coastal city prone to cyclones: Risk Analysis identifies low-lying areas and weak infrastructure. Risk Reduction includes building seawalls, enforcing strict building codes, and training residents for emergency situations. The Disaster Management Cycle ensures ongoing preparedness, immediate response during a cyclone, and long-term recovery afterw...

Linear Arrays Along-Track Scanners or Pushbroom Scanners

Multispectral Imaging Using Linear Arrays (Along-Track Scanners or Pushbroom Scanners) Multispectral Imaging: As previously defined, this involves capturing images using multiple sensors that are sensitive to different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. Linear Array of Detectors (A): This refers to a row of discrete detectors arranged in a straight line. Each detector is responsible for measuring the radiation within a specific wavelength band. Focal Plane (B): This is the plane where the image is formed by the lens system. It is the location where the detectors are placed to capture the focused image. Formed by Lens Systems (C): The lens system is responsible for collecting and focusing the incoming radiation onto the focal plane. It acts like a camera lens, creating a sharp image of the scene. Ground Resolution Cell (D): As previously defined, this is the smallest area on the ground that can be resolved by a remote sensing sensor. In the case of linear array scanne...

Discrete Detectors and Scanning mirrors Across the track scanner Whisk broom scanner.

Multispectral Imaging Using Discrete Detectors and Scanning Mirrors (Across-Track Scanner or Whisk Broom Scanner) Multispectral Imaging: This technique involves capturing images of the Earth's surface using multiple sensors that are sensitive to different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. This allows for the identification of various features and materials based on their spectral signatures. Discrete Detectors: These are individual sensors that are arranged in a linear or array configuration. Each detector is responsible for measuring the radiation within a specific wavelength band. Scanning Mirrors: These are optical components that are used to deflect the incoming radiation onto the discrete detectors. By moving the mirrors, the sensor can scan across the scene, capturing data from different points. Across-Track Scanner or Whisk Broom Scanner: This refers to the scanning mechanism where the mirror moves perpendicular to the direction of flight. This allows for t...
