Hello, After a B.Tech in Marine Engineering, you can work as a Marine Engineer on merchant ships (like cargo ships and oil tankers), eventually rising to the rank of Chief Engineer.

Shore-based careers are also plentiful, including roles in shipyards, marine surveying companies, port management, and the offshore oil and gas industry.

To get into the best colleges, the most important exam is the IMU-CET (Indian Maritime University - Common Entrance Test). Some top private and government institutions also consider JEE Main scores for admission.

I hope you found this information helpful.
