Detailed plan

This course will start on the 02nd of Feb, 2026, and will run for twelve weeks, until the 26th of April, 2026. Each week, the learners will:
1) Watch about 3 videos, each about 20 minutes
2) Submit weekly assignments and course projects
3) Attend and participate in 1-hour live sessions on Wednesdays and Saturdays every week

Note: Learners not interested in “Mobile & Web GIS App Development” during the last three weeks 10, 11 and 12 can alternatively work on an intensive “GIS-based Participatory Modelling Project” and submit it as 3 parts during those three weeks.

Feedbacks from Previous Learners

  • The course allowed knowing about the latest tools in GIS and spatial data analysis, and learn the concepts with a hands-on approach
  • The students gained valuable insights into the practical aspects of Spatial data, especially Drone imaging and analysis
  • The course videos and the steps were sufficient to cover the topic and to perform the task. The live sessions were adequate to explain the concepts and give demos.
  • We were fortunate to have professor Kolagani as a faculty for the course who guided us throughout with lot of patience.
  • Live sessions are very well handled by the faculty. He explains everything from scratch and helps us solve assignments
