Outline
After completing the course you will be able to:
Explain what is GIS? Give example of the application of GIS, analysis GIS can perform
Explain the difference between data and information
Give example of map projections and explain why they are important, different methods of spatial referencing
Define topology, Explain what spatial topology is and how it is stored in computers
Describe data model, data structure of raster, vector and attribute models
Describe how the paper maps are digitized
Give examples of how GIS has been used in modelling of physical and human process
Describe the multi-criteria evaluation and how the use of GIS to build process model

Batch will started within one week after registration.The KIG was set up in 2009 in Mumbai. It started out by offering short-term GIS training programs and for professional, students and corporate business sector. KIG is to address all type of training need of geospatial marketplaces. This includes software training and research in the field of:
- Geographic information System (GIS)
- Open source GIS
- Remote Sensing
- Photogrametry
- Global Position System (GPS)
- Arial Surveying and LiDAR
- Advanced Surveying Technologies and Instruments
- Application specific Training i.e. GIS for Urban Planning, Surveying
