The Graduate Marine Engineering (GME) program is a 1-year full-time residential course divided into 2 semesters. It combines theoretical marine engineering education, practical workshops, and mandatory STCW safety training, preparing mechanical and naval architecture graduates for marine engineering roles onboard merchant vessels.
Responsible for assisting in the operation and maintenance of ship's machinery and systems under the supervision of senior engineers.
After gaining sea experience and higher certifications, marine engineers can transition to shore-based roles in various sectors.
Overseeing construction and maintenance of vessels.
Designing and producing marine machinery and components.
Managing cargo handling and port machinery.
For mechanical engineering or naval architecture graduates, with a BE/B.Tech from an AICTE-approved institute, an IIT, or a university engineering college, meeting the required marks overall and in English, who want to transition into marine engineering. Maximum age is 28 years.
Graduates sign on as Junior Engineer and, with the required sea service, sit their MEO Class IV certificate of competency exams; candidates with the qualifying mechanical engineering stream are exempted from Part A of the Class IV and Class II exams. As they progress in rank, engineers can take the academy's Engine Room Simulator Course (Operational Level) and later its Management Level courses.
