MAEER’s Maharashtra Academy of Naval Education and Training, more popularly known as MANET Pune was founded in 2001 at the MIT, Kothrud Campus with a vision to train cadets to join Merchant Navy. MANET shifted to Rajbaug Campus, Loni-Kalbhor in 2004 and continues to develop top-notch cadets for the marine industry. MANET is approved by Directorate General of Shipping (DG Shipping), Ministry of Shipping, Government of India.
Aspiring cadets can pursue two streams at MANET Pune – a 4-year B.Tech Marine Engineering Course or a 3-year B.Sc. in Nautical Science.
MANET Pune has a Ship-in-Campus which is a fully operational replica of a ship’s engine-room. Our cadets are trained in it to get a feel of the actual ship board engine-room operations.
What started with just one institute, the Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT Pune) under the aegis of Maharashtra Academy of Engineering and Educational Research Pune (MAEER), has now metamorphosed in a prestigious group of institutions with over 4 Universities and 15+ Vishwashanti Gurkul schools affiliated with CBSC, IB and State boards under its auspices. This journey of over four decades has been guided by the pursuit of knowledge, quality and excellence, commitment and dedication to the holistic growth of its students, nutriment of value and discipline, the quest of science and spirituality and enrichment through research.
MAEER believes that “The union of science and spirituality alone will bring harmony and peace to the humanity” as said by Swami Vivekananda. The vision of the founders of MAEER is to create a “Centre of Excellence in the field of Education and Research.”
B.Tech Marine Engineering
MANET Pune is one of the best colleges for B. Tech in Marine Engineering, offering a 4-year degree course for cadets to enhance their knowledge and practical skills. The B. Tech Marine Engineering course details includes training on the ship-in-campus, learning from expert faculty members and interacting with industry specialists to help cadets maximize their potential before they enter the shipping industry.
Defination of Marine engineering & role of Marine Engineers:
Marine Engineering deals with operation and maintenance of ship machinery and engines. Marine Engineering perform the enviable task of operating & maintaining the machinery in a safe & sufficient way which needs knowledge & skills of a very high order.
Highlights of MANET B. Tech Marine Engineering:
After completion of B. Tech Marine Engineering, cadet work as a Junior Engineer on Merchant Ship of Indian or Foreign companies. On completion of the stipulated periods on the ship and passing Competency Examination conducted by Directorate General of shipping, Ministry of Shipping, Government of India, Junior Engineer eventually becomes eligible to be posted as Chief Engineer of a Ship.
Career Path as Marine Engineer:
B.sc nautical science
MANET is one of the best institutes for B.Sc. in Nautical Science in Pune, offering pre-sea training for cadets who want to become the captain of a merchant ship in the future. During the B.Sc. Nautical Science training, cadets learn all about character-building and developing the skills of a seafarer. Young cadets also imbibe high moral and ethical values like honesty, discipline, punctuality, hard work, modestly and perseverance, which play a major role during life at the sea.
The 3-year B.Sc. Nautical Science course at MANET offers both, theoretical and practical knowledge required for seamanship, navigation, watchkeeping, cargo handling, naval architecture, and ship maintenance and operation. Along with these, cadets are also taught managerial skills with hands-on training.
Definition & Role of Navigation Officers after Completing their B.Sc. in Nautical Science:
Navigation Officers deals with the navigation and administration of the vessel. Navigating Officers are responsible for the safe navigation and responsible for the loading, discharging of cargo, radio communication of ships safety of the crew & passengers.
Highlights of MANET B.Sc. Nautical Science:
The cadets after successful completion of their B.Sc. Nautical Science Degree Course are eligible to be directly placed on-board various Indian or Foreign vessels. After acquiring requisite sea time and obtaining the Certificate of Competency, they can rise to the level of Master (Captain).
Career Path as Naval Officer:
