hi sir.. recently i have been interested in naval architect and ship building.. what is the entry level salary in India, this profession is more suitable in abroad?
Hello Zaman, great to hear about your interest in Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding. To provide you an idea about the salary in India, to for an entry level Naval Architect it would range from around 3.5 to 6 LPA, depending on the employer (i.e., Indian Navy, Cochin Shipyard, L&T Shipbuilding, etc.) and the level of qualification (B.Tech or M.Tech).
On the other hand, abroad (countries like Norway, USA, UK, Singapore, and UAE), have significantly higher salaries with Naval Architects starting off entry level salaries of 50,000 - 80,000 dollars p.a. and also much better infrastructure and research and development opportunities.
So yes, it is a growing field in India however, many professionals see more challenging projects and thus better salaries abroad, it is seen as a preferred location to long-term growth within this industry.
