It is surprising to see that you are aspiring for two fields and both are completely different fields. According to the professionals, it is always nice to sail in one boat rather than keeping foot on two boats. So it is advisable for you to go for only one field and excel in that. Going for mechanical as well as marine may not be fruitful since both the fields have a lot of materials to study. Both Mechanical Engineering and Marine Engineering have very good scope,so you can easily avail lucrative career options if you complete course in one field with a good performance. Moreover Marine engineering is a very challenging field which only has space for the efficient ones. However you can do post graduate diploma in Marine Engineering only if you qualify the entrance exam for admission into the marine engineering colleges after completion of your BE in Mechanical.
