Most probably yes. The placements over there are good. All you have to do is that score well in the university exams.

If general category, then no. If OBC, then yes in B.Sc. Nautical Science.

No, MHT-CET is the competitive exam conducted by DTE-Maharashtra to get admission in technical institutes which are governed by Maharashtra State Government. Indian Maritime University is in Chennai. So, irrespective of branch, MJT-CET score is not to be validated for admission in this university.
All the best for future.

Yes, it's really good to do MBA in IMU if you want to start your career in shipping or maritime industry. The MBA in IMU not only helps you understand the port industry along with the operations handled in port industry and the logistics too. Being a student of marketing I am doing my internship in Adani ports and SEZ. Talking about the salary, the IMU provided good package too. So, I must recommend MBA From IMU.
