Sam, why dont u call up and ask prabhakar anna.. he is an automobile engineer if iam not wrong.. he can give u the complete information on all these... i say go for either automobile or civil... mechanical will screw u up completely as u dont like physics..

sam iam a mechanical engineer myself...first and formost this is no theory stream you hardly get 2papers in a semester...if you aint good at your maths and physics you have to work hard... your chemistry skills doesnt count...if you are completly focused or atleast half focused you will be able to clear with breeze...this branch is known for as the core engineering is for nothing...evry subject from thermodynamics to mechanics to fluid dynamics is all about solving problems..and you have to be good at your drawing skills too thinking out of the box is necessary if you need to figure out the diagrams patience is also a must..its easier said but difficult to acheive in machine drawing...if you are ready to sweat it out rather than mug up this is the subject for you

dude .. i already spoke to him .. he is a mechanical engg
and he advised me to join mechanical

@GOATIGURU--- thankz bro .. i guess i can pull mechanical off[i can do it]

then say no mechanical.. civil zindabad...

instead of opening a new thread,if the thread starter has no problem can i ask a question!

whats the scope of marine engineering?

NAVY... be it india or anywhere else

i wanted to ask regarding jobs and colleges and future in it

Introduction

Marine engineering deals with manufacture, design and operation of ship machinery and engines. Marine engineering courses are associated with the construction and maintenance of the ships as well as other sailing vessels. The marine engineers are engaged in supervising the engine crew involved in operating the machines. They also check for the smooth functioning of all electric motors, steam engines and propulsive engines etc. The marine engineers continuously take efforts to improve the efficiencies of gas turbine, existing shipboard conventional steam, nuclear propulsion plants and diesel. Some new technologies are developing in marine engineering such as magneto hydrodynamics, ocean thermal energy, fuel cells and superconductivity. One can make a bright career in marine engineering. There is good scope of marine engineering courses in India. This is the best field for getting excellent government jobs.

Scope of marine engineering courses in India

Marine engineering has gained great popularity in India. Plenty of students are attracted towards this advanced branch of engineering. It offers the best opportunity for the people who like to sail in the sea. Scope of marine engineering courses offers remunerative career options on and off shores. The employment opportunities are available in Merchant Navy, Navy and manufacturing industries. Offshore job opportunities are available in recruitment in ports, government jobs in the Directorate General of Shipping and recruitments by Shipping industries. The marine engineers can also work as teachers in the educational institutes.

Marine engineering program

The candidate gets the admission through various entrance examinations conducted between April and June. Different courses available in marine engineering are B.E., M.E. and Ph.D. For getting admission to B. E. in marine engineering, the eligibility required is 10+2 with Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and English. It is full time 4 years course. M.E. in marine engineering is 2 years course. The candidate should be B.E. in marine engineering. The candidate who successfully completes M.E. course can proceed for Ph.D program.

Institutes offering marine engineering courses

Having a great scope of marine engineering courses, there are numerous institutions established in various states of India. Few main institutes in India include Marine Engineering Research Institute in West Bengal, Marine Engineering & Research Institute in Maharashtra, International Marine Communication Centre in Tamil Nadu, Lal Bahadur Shastri College of Advanced Maritime Studies & Research in Maharashtra, Indian Marine College in Andhra Pradesh, Indian Institute of Technology in Maharashtra.

and your source of info is Scope of Marine Engineering Courses

i can also google yaar
i am preparing for engineering entrance exams including iit jee
but someone adviced me to find out some practical and realsitic info on marine engineering
so i headed to this thread

Hello Sam! I am a mechanical engineer. I completed my UG in the year 2007. If i were in your place, with only these two options, i would go with mechanical engineering.
One reason for that is, mech engg is not too focussed on one particular subject. It deals with a variety of stuff like electrical, electronics, civil and all such stuff. There is a place for almost everything in mechanical engineering.
And later when you start looking for a job, mech will give you more oppurtunities than civil. But dont expect much pay like that of software engg.
If you are going to go with mech, then please do learn catia and pro-e and some fea softwares, which will fetch you a good job.

exactly.. i think it would be pretty hard to find a marine engineer here.. but its an advanced version of the mechanical engineering.. most of the subjects related to mechanics... but i want to know why u are inclined towards marine engg.. i mean not many people opt for it.. the life is quite hectic on the shores and on the seas.. i have travelled by ship once and trust me its almost impossible to bear so much of humidity.. hats off to guys working in the navy...
if u are so very interested in it, i say go for it, clear all with flying colors and get urself a job in the Indian Navy.. that would be the best bet.. u'll have a peaceful life from then.. iam suffering now by taking electronics... iam more interested in automobile engg..

i am not incined towards any branch
the problem is i am preparing for jee
and as i can see the chances of getting selected are very less
so i am looking for some option which many people dont opt but has got some good oportunities

electronics and instrumentation is one such branch.. many people are not even aware of it.. the initial stages would be quite tough, but after u gain experience of about 2 years u'll be in a very very good position.. iam into this branch and its a very good branch having lots and lots of scope abroad.. india is not an industrial country, so to feel the importance and demand of instrumentation it would take a lot of time, say about 7-8 years from now..

here is little info on instrumentation..

Instrumentation engineering is the engineering specialization focused on the principle and operation of measuring instruments which are used in design and configuration of automated systems in electrical, pneumatic domains etc. They typically work for industries with automated processes, such as chemical or manufacuring plants, with the goal of improving system productivity, reliability, safety, optimization and stability. To control the parameters in a process or in a particular system Microprocessors , Micro controllers ,PLC's etc are used. But their ultimate aim is to control the parameters of a system.



Instrumentation technologists, technicians and mechanics specialize in troubleshooting and repairing and maintainance of instruments and instrumentation systems. This trade is so intertwined with electricians, pipefitters, power engineers, and engineering companies, that one can find him/herself in extremely diverse working situations. An over-arching term, "Instrument Fitter" is often used to describe people in this field, regardless of any specialization

in AP .. there is only 1 college offering marine



BTW AFTER CONSIDERING EVERY POINT AND ALL THE POSSIBILITIES

i decided that mechanical is a safer and more versatile topic ..
i may be wrong but this is what i feel i can do

so many xbhp mechanical engg helped me but i havent seen a single civil guy

i also consulted a professor and he said that calculations are more in civil and its tougher than mech

THANK YOU XBHP AND ALL ITS MEMBERS WHO HELPED ME
XBHP ROCKS AGAIN

@ all --you think we should open a counsultant website ?

cool man... but try to get into OU.. JNTU sucks bigtime...
