Introduction:
Those interested in maritime industry and having a knack for engineering, can pursue Marine Engineering Courses in India. A career in Marine Engineering ensures excellent growth opportunities and exciting job profiles for those interested in working on the ships or at the coasts. Marine Engineering courses deal with construction and maintenance of ships, other sailing vessels, ports and cargo facilities at waterfront. Marine engineers take complete charge of the engine room of a ship and the functioning of various devices like electric motors, steam engines, propulsive engines, etc. They also develop newer designs for the engines of sailing vessels and check the efficiency of existing equipments like gas or stem turbines, diesel or nuclear propulsion plants. New technologies like superconductivity, fuel cells and hydrodynamics are being explored in this field to make the vessels more efficient, thus supplying this field with even more interesting job propositions.
Qualifications:
Admission to Marine Engineering courses in India are generally done through several entrance examinations conducted between the months of April and June. The various courses in marine engineering, their duration and eligibility requirements are as follows-
B.E Marine Engineering, Duration: 4 years; Eligibility: 10+2 level pass with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English
M.E Marine Engineering, Duration: 2 years, Eligibility: B.E Marine Engineering.
Ph.D, Eligibility: M.E Marine Engineering.

Scopes in India:
Following the completion of Marine Engineering courses in India, students can opt for lucrative career options both on and off shore. After graduating as a marine engineer, one can get a job in a ship as a third assistant engineer or fourth engineer with a starting salary of Rs. 40,000-Rs.60,000 . If someone opts to join an oil tanker the salary becomes even higher. Offshore job opportunities are available in-
Ports
Shipping industries
Directorate General of Shipping
Educational institutes
Scopes Abroad:
The American Bureau of Shipping, an internationally recognized organization, recruits freshers and trainees with almost no experience in the field of Marine Engineering. The bureau deals with developing rules based on the principles of naval architecture, marine engineering and related subjects. Other countries like France and U.K also recruit young marine engineers.
