Is it better to take the postgraduate entrance examination for the geographic information major of Chinese Academy of Sciences, or the direction of geographic information or remote sensing?

First of all, these two majors have great development potential and represent the new development direction of surveying and mapping. But it also means that the current market development is still insufficient, and employment is a little more troublesome than traditional surveying and mapping. You have to weigh this yourself.

After graduation, you can choose to join a company, unit or others according to your own situation. Most institutions and government departments need this major, such as design institutes and survey institutes. At present, the employment situation in Xindi is relatively good, and there are many companies in this field. The employment situation of photogrammetry and remote sensing is almost worse, but aerial survey is not bad. If you study photogrammetry and remote sensing, I hope you can master more basic knowledge of aerial survey.

As far as study is concerned, the two majors are closely related, but the focus of study will be biased towards your major. Even if you apply for remote sensing, if your tutor is engaged in GIS, then you are basically engaged in GIS during your graduate school. So you should pay attention to this aspect when choosing a tutor.

I hope my answer is useful to you.
