Institute of Shipping

Hi Manoj,
Most probably, new dates would be announced soon as a number of candidates were not able to apply due to the grim situation of the country in this pandemic.
Just keep checking its website and maybe within a few days another date will be announced.
Also, be prepared with a plan B so that you do not have to waste a year in case they do not open up again.Check for some universities offering the best for the MBAs and placements.
You can give TANCET for Christ University which can be equally good opportunity.
SYMBIOSIS goes for good MBAs with a disciplined curriculum.
LPU is also good supply chain and logistics especially with good placements.
So keep checking the websites in order to plan your next move.

Shipping and Marine are two different career streams. By shipping, we mean that you are getting into the logistics side but why Marine you are becoming the resource that executes work. From the engineering side, run the ships, manage the day to day shipping work, repairs engine, turbines etc. You can do a Masters in Marine Engineering as you've already done mechanical and get into marine life. This life looks lucrative in terms of money but has other consequences like you have to spend 6 months at home and 6 months on the sea. On the contrary in the shipping industry, you can look at jobs in Logistic companies where you can be a planner, scheduler or manager handling all the shipping assignments, etc. You can also look at roles and customs and excise that are somewhat linked to the shipping sector.
