I hv btech in Biomedical and mtech in medical instrumentation. Im extremely instrumentation merchant navy. Im willing to sacrifice another 4yr in marine engineering degree. Am i eligible to enroll another be/btech in marine engineering. Im 23 and medically fit too
Yes, you are eligible to pursue a second BE/B.Tech in Marine Engineering even after completing your B.Tech in Biomedical and M.Tech in Medical Instrumentation. Marine Engineering admissions focus mainly on Class 12 PCM percentage, age criteria and medical fitness rather than the branch of your previous degree. Since you are 23 and medically fit, you fall well within the required age limit followed by most DG-Approved colleges. However, you will have to join the full 4-year Marine Engineering program because lateral entry is allowed only for candidates with a mechanical or naval architecture background.
After completing the course and mandatory onboard training, you will be eligible to join the Merchant Navy as a marine engineer. So if you’re ready to invest the time and effort, shifting from your current field into a marine engineering career is definitely achievable.
All the best.
