I want to join marine after completing my B.E.(MECH) FOR that i need a sponsorship in shipping companies or loan from bank if not possible?

Sponsorship is very difficult to get unless you have got fame and is a renowned personality of any state or country. However, you can definitely get education loan from the bank for pursuing Marine Engineering after completion of your B.E in Mechanical Engineering.

The bank will give you loan only when you get admission in the top marine engineering colleges of India who have a good placement rate. Otherwise it is quite difficult to get loan for marine engineering. Almost all nationalized banks give education loan. The institutes in which you should try to seek admission to ensure that you get education loan easily are :-

-Indian Institute of Maritime Studies
-Maharashtra Academy of Engineering & Educational Research
-Marine Engineering and Research Institute
-International Maritime Institute
-Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering
-Birla Institute of Technology & Science
-Mohamed Sathak Engineering College
-College of Engineering, Anna University
-University of Madras
-Annamalai University
-Chennai School of Ship Management

Marine Engineering :

Marine Engineering refers to the engineering study of boats, ships, oil rigs and any other marine vessel .

It also deals with the engineering of vessel's propulsion systems and the vessel's superstructures .

You have already done your B.E in Mechanical Engineering and now you want to join Marine Engineering.

The point was not clear is it about the Masters in Marine Engineering or again B.E Marine Engineering?

You have the following Masters Programs to avail with the B.E Mechanical Engineering Degree.

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (SMME)
Master of Science in Ocean Engineering (SMOE)
Master of Science in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (SMNAME)
Master of Science in Oceanographic Engineering (SMOGE, joint MIT/WHOI degree)
Master of Engineering in Manufacturing
Mechanical Engineer's (ME) degree
Naval Engineer's (NE) degree
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Doctor of Science (ScD), which differs in name only (this includes the joint MIT/WHOI degrees)

Sponsorship / Educational Loan :

In India we don't Sponsorship kind of schemes in local colleges or local universities.

Where as you can find such programs in IIT's and MIT's and that too if you top the entrance examination.

So there is no scope of Sponsorship's for masters or graduation courses.

Where as you can apply for the Education loan.

You can get upto 4.5 lacs of education loan without any property assurances.

Once get the admission in any of the college or university then you can apply for the education loan.
