Course Overview
The Geographic Information Systems certification course is structured with student favourable modules that will provide them with an easy environment to learn about the respective field. Detailed understanding of geographic information systems and their uses in civil engineering and earth sciences is offered in the proposed course.
In this course, all topics from data input to modeling will be addressed. Different datasets, like DEMs, their source, generation strategies, derivatives, errors and limitations, will be thoroughly explored in the proposed course. In the complete Geographic Information Systems training, the candidate will be given the continuous support that will help them to complete the whole curriculum along with timely submission of assessments.
The candidate will be given practical knowledge along with theoretical understanding of the particular concepts and the candidate can get the chance to be more creative in implementing their understanding that they will get while learning the course in respective assessments designed for the completion of the programme. The Geographic Information Systems certification will be provided in the last of the programme to give the students credit and accreditable for the course so that they can pursue the further courses in the respective field.

Eligibility Criteria
Education
Candidates should be aware of the basic knowledge of computers if they want to apply for the Geographic Information Systems by Swayam, that will help them to carry the whole curriculum more effectively. In addition to this, candidates who are currently pursuing engineering, Ph.D. students, or students who have done post-graduation in science can apply for this programme.
Certification qualifying details
Despite being considered for Geographic Information Systems certification, engaging students in the curriculum need to accomplish all the parameters. The prerequisite will be that participants are expected to apply primarily within a given amount of time by the end of the course, so that candidates are required to deliver the final term paper along with the internal examination evaluations. In order to get approved during the last preparation of the Geographic Information Systems training, candidates must receive 75 percent of the final evaluation in the end term paper and 25 percent of the internal exams from the best of 8 assignments.
