Hello Aspirant

Degrees or diplomas in nautical science or marine engineering are two ways in which one can get a job as an officer on merchant ships.It is therefore extremely important that one knows in advance what field they are going to pursue and what job they would be doing later on while on the ship.

• Admission to Diploma in Nautical Science course is based on Merit list or Entrance-exam. Most of the colleges and institutes conduct counseling and select students based on merit list prepared by the university. Some of the reputed colleges conduct entrance examination to select students for this course admission.
• If you wish to prepare for Marine Engineering I suggest you apply for Tolani Maritime Institute, Pune. It is a industry reputed institute and offers a BITS degree. My friend is a TMI passout and passing through a good college later helps in getting a good placement.

I hope this information would be helpful for you.

All the best
