Merchant Navy Colleges
Do you want to chase a career full of adventures and challenges? A career at sea will give you everything you need if adventure and money is what you desire from a profession. But for that first you’ll have to make the journey and get placed in a good shipping company by applying for some top merchant navy colleges and getting selected in one of them.
Unfortunately these days this field is filled with fraud agents and unapproved merchant navy colleges who are always eager to rob you and your parents of their hard earned money. These merchant navy colleges will give you admission very easily but you’ll never be able to see a ship for a long time after you graduate because they don’t have any placements. Then you’ll have to go to these agents who are basically sharks on land and just want to rob your money and will never be able to guarantee a secure and safe future for you.
It is very important to get selected in a good and recognised merchant navy college in order to get placed in good company. In this blog, we write about some of the most prestigious and recognised merchant navy colleges in our country that have a very good placement percentage, almost 100% in some cases.
1. Anglo Eastern Maritime Academy
Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy is located in Karjat, Maharashtra, and is one of the premier maritime colleges in the country. It is owned by Anglo-Eastern Group, one of the best ship management companies in the world with over 700 ships. This college guarantees 100% placement onboard Anglo Eastern’s managed vessels. And it has a really less waiting period after graduation. Because of which this is the first choice for many aspiring seafarers who want to join this field.

- Graduate Marine Engineering (GME)
- Electro-Technical Officers (ETO)

Samundra Institute Of Maritime Studies is located in Lonavala, Maharashtra, and has one of the finest maritime training infrastructures in the country.

9. Shipping Corporation Of India – Maritime Training Institute
The Shipping Corporation Of India Maritime Training Institute is situated in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is owned by the Shipping Corporation Of India which is an Indian shipping company, which also provides 100% placement. Although again the problem with this institute is the waiting period which is really long after course completion and being an Indian company the salary over here is comparatively lower than what most companies offer.
Courses Offered
- Diploma In Nautical Science (DNS)

- Electro-Technical Officer (ETO)
Although these days there are hundreds of Maritime colleges in our country, the above listed ones are the most genuine and trusted once.

So work hard and join a good, reputed shipping college.
A life full of adventures on the high seas awaits you.
