Getting here from Bangalore
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. Batch dates are fixed well ahead, so tell the admissions team you are travelling from Bangalore and they will line the dates up with your journey.
Frequent flights connect Bangalore to Cochin International Airport in a little over an hour, and an overnight train to Ernakulam is a common alternative, taking around ten to twelve hours. As batches begin on fixed dates, it helps to book the overnight train a few days ahead, especially for a Monday start. Pre-sea candidates generally stay in the academy's hostel on campus, while those on shorter courses usually arrange a lodge in Kochi or Aluva.
For every course candidates from Bangalore take, see maritime courses in Bengaluru.
