Maritime Courses in Kolkata (Calcutta)

Train in Kerala, and make the journey count. Candidates from Kolkata come to our Kochi campus for DG Shipping approved courses, and Kolkata is well connected to Kochi by air and rail. This page covers the courses they take most often and how to plan the trip.

Courses candidates from Kolkata take

Make the trip count

Batch dates are fixed well in advance, so a course booked from Kolkata can be planned around rather than squeezed in. TheKochi campus sits inland in Ernakulam district, with Fort Kochi and the harbour on one side and the backwaters at Alappuzha and the hills at Munnar within a few hours' drive. Candidates who travel a long way often take a few extra days at either end. Ask the admissions team for the next batch dates and for help with accommodation before you book travel.

Getting here from Kolkata

The campus is in Kizhakkambalam, in Ernakulam district. The nearest airport is Cochin International Airport and the nearest major railway stations are Ernakulam Town and Ernakulam Junction, all within an easy drive of the campus. Tell the admissions team you are coming from Kolkata and they will help you line the journey up with your batch dates.

Kolkata connects to Cochin International Airport by direct flights of around two and a half to three hours, the practical option given the distance. Train journeys take much longer, so most candidates for a fixed-date batch choose to fly in a day or two beforehand. Pre-sea candidates generally stay in the academy's hostel on campus, and short-course candidates usually arrange a lodge in Kochi or Aluva.
