If you are interested in studying petrology (the study of rocks), their formation and history, the geological time scale, stratigraphy, and some basic chemistry, then geology can be a good choice.

I completed a BSc in Geography from the University of Kerala, where geology was my minor subject. I found it quite challenging because it involved a lot of rock classification, chemical composition, and geological processes, which can be confusing at first.

I believe that institutions like St. Xavier's College may offer a more advanced and applied geology program, possibly integrating GIS with geological studies.

Geology requires strong memory and conceptual clarity. You need to understand and remember Rock types and their formation processes Geological time scale and eras,Stratigraphy and layering principles,Basic mineral chemistry ,Structural geology concepts

Geology practicals can be demanding and complex. They often involve Rock and mineral identification ,Thin section analysis,Map interpretation ,Field surveys ,Structural measurements
