## Admissions

Choose the exact university degree and campus. General undergraduate selection uses the university entrance/rank-list process, while programme-specific conditions and PG interview requirements apply. Seagoing degrees have additional external entrance and medical requirements.


## Why students choose it

- English instruction is explicit in the applicable university CBCS regulations.
- The Kanathur campus combines maritime training facilities with general academic degrees.
- UGC deemed status and the exact maritime institute identity have government verification.

## Things to consider

- The verified July baseline is the first-year 2026–27 calendar, requiring a separate next-cycle check.
- Current tuition is on request; the fee download link is inactive.
- Maritime degrees require additional entrance, medical, passport and residential checks.

## Best fit for

- Domestic applicants meeting the exact subject, marks, age and assessment conditions.
- Students seeking regular English-medium study in Chennai’s Kanathur campus.
- Maritime applicants prepared for regulated medical and residential requirements.

## Campus and city

The university’s East Coast Road campus has workshops, a Ship-in-Campus training facility, indoor and outdoor sports facilities and a swimming pool. Student-welfare services include residence, health care, student council, cultural activities, NSS and NCC. The campus experience differs between residential maritime degrees and general academic programmes.

AMET’s university campus is at 135 East Coast Road, Kanathur, Chennai 603112, near the Bay of Bengal. AMET City College in Villivakkam and AMET Institute of Science and Technology near Thenpattinam have different maritime training institute numbers and addresses. Applicants should use the exact university campus in application and travel arrangements.

The CBCS framework includes laboratory work, projects, internships and academic flexibility. Maritime facilities include ship and engine-room training environments; engineering departments list workshops and technical laboratories. Projects and industry-related activities provide curricular experience, while recruitment and cadetship selection remain separate processes.


## Hostel, food and safety

AMET publishes Hall of Residence guidance and describes campus hostels. B.E. Marine Engineering and B.Sc. Nautical Science are specifically residential degrees. Confirm the allotted hostel, room category, residence rules and current accommodation quote; the inactive academic fee download does not establish a residential price.

The university has dining facilities and a Mess Committee for food-service feedback and hygiene concerns. Current menu, meal-package charges and arrangements for specific dietary needs require confirmation. A campus dining facility does not establish an allergy-safe or particular religious menu.

The university lists a Health Care Centre, Anti-Ragging Committee and Anti-Ragging Squad. Its prevention measures include awareness activities, hostel/campus monitoring and reporting mechanisms. Maritime entry also requires certification from a DG Shipping-approved medical practitioner; this admission assessment does not establish a personal-safety guarantee.

The Single Window Students Service Centre and student-welfare offices support academic and campus matters. The R 23 framework describes mentoring, including regular mentor meetings and student feedback. UCIR supports international students with orientation, administrative processes and grievances, but that service does not establish admission permission for every degree.


## Frequently asked questions

### Is AMET the same as Indian Maritime University?

AMET is a separate deemed-to-be university at Kanathur, Chennai. Its UGC deemed status is dated 21 August 2007. Government IMU separately lists AMET among non-affiliated DG Shipping-approved institutes for the two maritime degrees; this does not make AMET an IMU campus.

### Are AMET City College and AIST the same campus?

They have different maritime institute identities. AMET University is Kanathur MTI 401001; AMET City College is 407048 in Villivakkam; AMET Institute of Science and Technology is 406055 near Thenpattinam. Check the precise campus on any offer.

### Are the published degrees taught in English?

R 23 CBCS regulations, applicable from 2023–24 onwards, establish English for core and elective courses, examinations, seminars, viva and project/thesis/dissertation work. The published regular degrees use this framework.

### What is the verified intake month?

The first-year 2026–27 calendar covers all maritime and general programmes and numbers 27 July 2026 as working day 1. July is displayed as that dated baseline. No next-cycle commencement or application deadline is promised.

### How much are tuition and accommodation?

Current amounts are on request. The 2026–27 fee and prospectus pages have inactive download links. Ask for tuition, deposits, examinations, residential charges and other payable items separately for the exact programme and applicant category.

### What does a maritime degree applicant need?

B.E. Marine Engineering and B.Sc. Nautical Science require the stated PCM/English marks, external entrance eligibility, passport and medical fitness assessment. They are residential degrees. Programme-specific and applicant-category conditions must be checked together.

### Does admission guarantee a cadetship or job?

No. University admission, medical clearance, company cadetship assessment and recruitment are separate decisions. Sponsored routes can set higher marks or additional tests than the standard academic entry route.

### What are the general engineering entry rules?

Requirements vary. Mechanical and Naval Architecture specify 50% PCM for OC and 45% for other categories; Mechanical also specifies 50% English. AI/ML and AI/Data Science degrees specify 50% aggregate with Mathematics. Software Engineering separately requires a qualifying KNET score.

### Who can apply for the shipping and logistics MBA?

The academic route requires a recognized degree with 50% marks. An alternative route accepts specified mariner competency qualifications after at least six years of study/training following 10+2. Listed management test scores or AMET’s examination and interview/group discussion apply.

### Can international students use these domestic requirements?

The catalogue publishes verified domestic routes. UCIR provides international-student support, but current programme-specific overseas permission, equivalence and category rules remain unverified here. Obtain a separate assessment before relying on domestic thresholds.

### How does the application process work?

Use the official UG or PG application portal. Upload a recent JPEG photograph, JPEG signature and readable qualification records, retaining the acknowledgement. Complete the applicable entrance/interview, counselling and document verification before accepting a provisional offer.

### Which student services are available?

The university lists Hall of Residence, Health Care Centre, student-service centre, sports and student-welfare activities. The meal arrangements Committee handles dining feedback, while anti-ragging committee/squad arrangements support prevention and reporting.

### Does the aviation degree provide a pilot licence?

The published B.Sc. Aviation is an academic degree. No pilot licence or approved flight-training entitlement is established by this catalogue entry. Any professional licence or training pathway needs its own current authorisation and requirements.
