B.Sc. (Nautical Science) - 3 Years

The three year B.Sc. Nautical Science course is approved by the Directorate General of Shipping, Ministry of Shipping, Government of India. It is a course leading to Second Mate's Foreign-Going Certificate of Competency awarded by the D.G. Shipping after 12 months of Sea Service, Enabling the cadets to become Navigating officers on board Merchant Navy Ships worldwide. The three year B.Sc., Nautical Science course is strictly residential.

CURRICULUM FOR PRE SEA TRAINING - B.Sc.(NAUTICAL SCIENCE)

They are responsible for safe navigation, cargo handling and allied duties on board ship. They are employed in the deck department of the ship and are normally called as"Deck Cadet". They undertake the routine maintenance of the vessel including chipping, painting, greasing, repairs to the Ship's hull, superstructure. They are trained to operate the deck machinery like cranes, derricks and also undertake the steering of the vessel at sea. At sea they are employed as look outs on the bridge under the officer on duty.

A competent "Deck Cadet" can aspire to become the Master (Captain) of a Merchant ship on completion of required seatime and qualifying career enhancing examinations conducted by the DGS at different levels.
