Marine Engineering

Hello Siva, You have got 53% in PCM, in plus two stage last year and you are now seeking admission to Marine Engineering branch. I feel you definitely can seek admission to this branch from the state from which you come from. The eligibility conditions for getting admission into engineering colleges which are government owned or government aided in the states is kept quiet low at about 50% in majority of the states and you have scored more than that. However in almost all the private Institutions the eligibility is kept at about 60% + and you will not be able to get admission, but it should not matter to you because you are still eligible to get admission in the colleges in your state. Best wishes to you.

To start with first thing you should ensure that you are eligible. Here is the eligibility criteria for marine engineering:
* To pursue a B.Tech in marine engineering, a candidate must have cleared 10+2 or any equivalent examination from a recognized board or university under the science stream with compulsory subjects, i.e. physics, chemistry and maths.
* The minimum cut-off is 50% in most institutes.
* Clearing an entrance exam is mandatory in order to get into most marine engineering institutes.
* Candidates who have completed a Diploma in any stream of engineering (marine, mechanical and electrical) with 55-60% in final year can join the B.Tech course from the 2nd year as part of the Lateral Entry scheme.
The entrance test is the final step which you have to clear for getting into the college. It would contain questions pertaining to physics, chemistry, logical reasoning, English and mathematics. The candidate would also have to pass all medical tests in compliance with the requirements laid down by the Directorate General of Shipping.
