Batchelor of Technology (B.Tech.) program is structured to drive the students able to solve the practical problems in the field of Marine Engineering. The students are given comprehensive knowledge on the theoretical and practical aspects in the wide range of subjects viz., Marine Machinery Systems, Marine Turbo Machinery, Marine Internal Combustion Engines and Technology, Marine Boilers, Naval Architecture, Marine Steam Plant, Marine Simulator and Marine Machinery Systems and Design.
B.Tech.(Marine Engineering) is a residential 4-year undergraduate engineering program that focuses on the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of ships and other marine vessels. This programme is designed in-line with the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) for Seafarers. Students who successfully complete this course shall be able to successfully gain employment on-board Indian/ Foreign going Ships as a Marine Engineer.
To pursue a career in Marine Engineering, following are the eligibility criteria:
For SC/ST candidates: There will be a 5% relaxation in eligibility marks of PCM; however, it will not apply to English Marks.
Relaxation of 5% in English marks will be applicable to candidates who are native of the Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar Islands and belong to recognized Scheduled Tribes of the islands and who & both of whose parents were born in these islands & belong to the Scheduled Tribes of those islands.
Maximum age:
For Male: General-25 years, OBC (NCL) - 28 years, SC/ST-30 years.
For Female: General-27 years, OBC (NCL) - 30 years, SC/ST-32 years.
*The reference date for calculation of the age will be from the date of commencement of the Academic Session (01.08.2024).
Candidates must be medically fit and must meet the physical standards as prescribed in the Merchant Shipping (Medical Examination) Rules, 2000, as amended from time-to-time.
