The Admission Process

The admissions process for marine engineering programs may differ depending on the institution and country. The JEE Main and JEE Advanced exams, which are required for admission to public universities, are the most widely known engineering entrance exams in the country. In addition to the national/state-level entrance exams, private universities give their own assessments. When choosing the top marine engineering colleges, consider their accreditation, curriculum, and possibilities for hands-on experience.

Admission Exams for B.E./B.Tech Marine Engineering

To pursue a Bachelor's degree in Marine Engineering, students must first take the National Entrance Examination (JEE) or State-level Entrance Exams such as KCET, MHT CET, WBJEE, or COMED-K, followed by University Entrance Exams. These examinations are critical entry points for aspiring students seeking admission to reputable universities.

• The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the JEE Main exam online over a three-hour period.
• The Indian Institute of Technology conducts the JEE Advanced (IIT JEE) exam online with a duration of three hours.
• The KCET exam is administered in offline mode by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) and lasts 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• The West Bengal Joint Entrance Exam conducts the WBJEE exam in offline mode for a length of two hours.
• The Maharashtra Government conducts the MHT- CET test in offline mode with a time constraint of 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board conducts GUJCET in offline format at the time duration of 3hours.
