B.Tech in Marine Engineering is a 4-year undergraduate engineering programme focused on the design, operation, maintenance, and safety of marine machinery and shipboard systems. The course blends core mechanical engineering with specialized marine subjects such as marine engines, naval architecture basics, electrical systems, and maritime regulations. Graduates are trained for careers on merchant ships, shipyards, and marine engineering companies, subject to applicable medical fitness and maritime certification norms.
B.Tech in Marine Engineering is a specialized undergraduate programme that prepares students to work with propulsion plants, auxiliary machinery, electrical and automation systems, and safety equipment used on ships and offshore assets. The curriculum typically begins with foundational engineering subjects such as mathematics, physics, mechanics, thermodynamics, and basic electrical engineering, then advances into marine-specific areas including marine diesel engines, refrigeration and air-conditioning, fluid machinery, ship construction basics, marine electrical systems, instrumentation, control, and maritime safety. Practical training is central, with workshops, labs, simulator exposure (where available), and mandatory sea-oriented training elements aligned with industry expectations. In India, students aiming for sea-going roles often need to meet Directorate General of Shipping (DG Shipping) medical fitness requirements and later pursue additional certifications to sail as engineering officers. The programme supports careers both at sea and ashore, including ship operations, maintenance planning, shipbuilding/repair, marine design support, classification, and port/terminal engineering.
