It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Nautical Science. Our B.Sc program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of navigation, seamanship, and shipboard operations. The program encompasses a wide range of subjects, including Navigation, Cargo Handling and Stowage, Maritime Law and Regulations, Ship Stability, Meteorology, and Marine Communication.Our graduates are highly sought after in the maritime industry and have excelled in a range of careers, including Navigation, Ship Operations, and Marine Surveying.
The BSc in Nautical Science program is an undergraduate degree program that prepares students for a career as a deck officer in the merchant navy or in the maritime industry.The program focuses on providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of navigation, seamanship, ship stability, marine engineering, and maritime law. Graduates of the program are qualified to work as deck officers on ships of all sizes and types, including cargo vessels, tankers, passenger ships, and offshore vessels.
Candidates must have completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) as mandatory subjects from a recognized board. Minimum Marks: a) 60% aggregate marks in PCM b) 50% marks in English subject in 10+2 examination.
Unmarried
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) .
Physical Fitness
Candidates seeking admission to this Nautical Science Programme must be medically fit including eye sight and hearing as prescribed in the Merchant Shipping (Medical Examination) Rules, 2000, as amended.
At the time of admission, candidates will be required to produce certificate of medical fitness issued by doctors approved by the Directorate General of Shipping, Mumbai. (Refer: https://www.dgshipping.gov.in/Content/MaritimeHealthBranch.aspx)
Eye sight:
There shall be no evidence of any morbid condition of either eye or of the lids of either eye which may be liable to risk of aggravation or recurrence. Candidates must possess good binocular vision(Fusion faculty and full field of vision in both eyes). Movement of the eyeballs must be full in all directions and the pupils should react normally to light and accommodation. Normal colour vision shall be tested by Ishihara Test Chart. Distance Vision
unaided 1.0*(6/6) in better eye and 0.67*(6/9) in another eye.
