Every year ‘Landscape’, an annual geographical magazine, is brought out by the department that showcases and brings out the talent of young geographers from the department. The students are also taken to educational/field visits to expose them to changing ground realities in both the physical and human landscape, field survey techniques like remote sensing, and GIS at various stages from training to research applications.

Geography is best suited for students, who have a knack for both Humanities and Science sides, as the discipline is very well linked. The discipline has a wide scope and the Geography department at SBSC is committed to offer the best of the learning environment.
