what is the difference between bsc nautical sciences and Btech marine engineering?And what are the advantages of the one against the other?

Well dear there is a huge difference among both of the courses, or we can say there is no comparison among them. One is north pole while the other is south pole.

• Nautical Science is a application science degree, while Marine engineering is a applied technological degree course.

• Nautical Science which is tought at Bachelor level (B.sc) is a 3 years long program, while B.Tech (Marine Engineering) is a 4 years long Engineering/Technology degree.

• Nautical Science degree will lead your career toward the Deck and Rating departments of Merchant Navy, while Marine Engineering will lead you to Engine department of Merchant Navy.

• Person having a Nautical Science degree will start his career as 'Deck Cadet' and eventually lead up to the highest designation 'Captain' of ship/cruise/sea-vessel. Whereas a Marine Engineer will start his career in this sector as a 'Fifth Engineer or Fourth Engineer or Trainee Engineer and eventually leads toward the designation of 'Chief Engineer' of the ship/cruise/sea-vessel.

• A Nautical Science graduate generally starts with a pay of 25,000 - 40,000 per month which can go up to 3.5 Lacs per month for national shipping company and up to 5 Lacs per month for International job as a Captain. Whereas a MArine Engineering graduate generally starts from 20,000-35,000 per month which can go up to 3.5 Lacs per month for a designation of Chief Engineer.

This type of various difference are associated with both the course.

is there is entrance for marine enginering

hai friends ,
B.Tech Marine engineering deals with the engineering aspects of marine related equipment found on board ships , boats and so forth.
Salaries for this area is about $74k
B.Sc Nautical science includes occupations such as navigating officers. It deals with the art and science of ship operations . Again you study to navigate and operate ships and boats in the merchant marine

out of B.Tech ( ME) and B.Sc which will best and sopefull in future?
