First thing I would like to let you know that to pursue any engineering degree course you need to completed your Class 12th with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as main subjects from a recognized board of education.

Further to pursue the same course from CFTIs like IIT, NIT, etc, other government engineering colleges and private colleges you need to qualify engineering entrance examinations like JEE, State EEE, BITSAT, VITEEE. SRMEEE, etc. .

As far as you are concerned about the cost of pursuing marine engineering then it is one of the costly course whose average cost per year ranges from 1.5 lacs to 2.5 lacs.

To be eligible to do Marine Engineering course, you should have passed 12th standard or an equivalent examination with PCM stream from a recognised board. Admissions in Marine Engineering course are done through National or State or University level engineering entrance examination, you need to qualify the entrance examination and participate in counselling process to get admission for pursuing Marine Engineering course.

In order to pursue for any of the Engineering courses, you must have to complete your class 12th examination from a recognised Board with a minimum of 50% of marks in it.
