Hi Krishnandu,

the other answer has described the helpful options for the geography students. if you are interested in research or teaching than geography is a good option for you. you can apply for UGC NET geography after your post graduation. UGC NET is held to determine candidates for lectureship and JRF awards. 

The NET qualified candidates also have many opportunities in their subjects like, become a lecturer, Get stipend / fellowship, become a scientist and research associate, work as teacher in institutes, get a job in PSUs, work in laboratory, become an author or publish your articles etc.

You need to decide first that in which work you are interested more and apply for your choice. hope it will help you.

All the best!!
