Hello Abhiniash

How to Become a Marine Engineer?

The best part of pursuing a marine engineering degree after mechanical engineering is that you don’t have to go through the four years of rigorous engineering training, which a marine engineer has to go through. All you need is a one year specialized course.

A one year Graduate Marine Engineering (GME) course after mechanical engineering would give students the licence to enter merchant navy. This one year GME course is all you need to become a marine engineer after doing mechanical engineering.

Eligibility Criteria

However, there are certain requirements which one should satisfy in order to join the one year marine engineering course. They are as follows:

Graduation in BE (Mechanical) Engineering / Naval Architecture with minimum marks of 50% in final year
Must have minimum 50% marks in English language at 10th or 12th or in Degree Exam.
Must not be more than 28 years old
Should satisfy all health requirements that are necessary to join the merchant navy. To know more about the medical health requirements.
