Good Luck!

Bachelors degree is always better than a diploma in any field, for Growth & Promotion.

If you choose a diploma in Nautical Science then you can be a Marine Engineering Instructor, Operations Manager, Training Navigating Officer, Lecturer & Marine Engineer.

so your package will be around 5lacs to 10lacs per annum.

If you do a bachelors degree then Deck Officer, Nautical Surveyor, Scuba Diver, Marine Superintendent.

Packages will range from 8 lacs to 15 Lacs per annum.

I personally suggest you consult a working marine person to get the best advice in today's scenario. 

Hello kamaldeep

No you are not eligible for IMU CET because 

• The candidates should have passed 12 thstandard qualifying examination with aggregate marks of 60% in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

• At least 50% marks should have been secured by the candidates in English

Good luck 

Yes,  Indian Maritime University does provide sponsorship to students. Eminent companies such as Fleet Shipmanagemet and others sponsor the students. You can register for them if you meet the eligibility criteria. 

As for Anglo-eastern and Tolani, if you qualify their final entrance test (IMU-CET) only then you will be eligible for counseling and will be contacted by them. 

Hello Rhythm,

Yes, you can take IMUCET twice in a year. It is conducted in June and in December. If you appear in June IMUCET and clear it then you are eligible for August batch and if you appear for December IMUCET and clear it then you are eligible for January batch.

Hope you are clear now.

Good luck!
