Is marine engineer good

Ans: You have asked many questions. I am trying to answer those. To become a Marine Engineer, you can do master's degree from IITs. Madras IIT is the best option in India. For that you have to give GATE. As a marine engineer, one of the primary career paths is working in the Merchant Navy, where you’ll be responsible for the operation and maintenance of ship machinery. But it is not white color job like software engineering, and you have to be physically and mentally strong. Marine engineers in the Merchant Navy can earn a substantial salary, particularly at senior levels (e.g., Chief Engineer). However, entry-level positions might start lower, with significant increments as you gain experience. The job market in marine engineering can be volatile, influenced by global trade, oil prices, and geopolitical events.

Ans: First decision is correct. Let him go for Mechanical Engineering. For the second question you are advised to search in net. Even for Mechanical Engineering you can see the ranking of the colleges in net. Another option is Production Engineering, if he doesn't get Mechanical, though in very few colleges Production Engineering is there. I think he will definitely get Mechanical. I couldn't understand why are you thinking of Management quota at the starting. Let him compete. If he fails then question of management quota will arise. Secondly never show your financial ease in front of your son. It will make him lazy and he will take his admission for granted. Best of luck. Just follow me. GOD BLESS HIM. Professor............:)

Ans: With an IMUCET rank of 2,319, admission to B.Tech Marine Engineering at premier IMU campuses (Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata) is feasible, as historical cutoffs for General category often extend beyond 3,000 ranks for core campuses. IMU campuses report 90–99% placement rates for Marine Engineering graduates, with top recruiters like Anglo-Eastern, MSC, Fleet Management, and Maersk actively hiring through campus drives. While sponsorship is not mandatory for IMU admissions, securing onboard training/jobs post-graduation relies on campus recruitment, where 80–90% of students secure placements in maritime roles (e.g., Marine Engineer, Technical Superintendent) or offshore sectors. For backup, explore lateral entry into Mechanical/Electrical Engineering via state exams or private institutes like Tolani Maritime Institute (direct admissions with placement support). Prioritize IMU’s structured internships and DG Shipping certifications to enhance employability.
