Hello Anamika,



The colleges I'm going to share are good to study masters in sustainability in india.

• VPGR institute of technology, Tamilnadu
• The Global open university, Nagaland
• Suresh gyan vihar university, Rajasthan
• Indian institute of ecology and environment, New Delhi

You you study sustainability then you can apply for government and private sector. Scope are very high as this subject covers many environment issues like pollution, hazards etc. You can join well known NGO's those work directly for taking actions on environmental problems. You can sit for NET. This exam is for those who wants to be professor in their area of study.



Hope it helps

All the best!
