No, direct admission to BTech Marine Engineering in Pune colleges like MANET isn't only on merit basis. candidates generally need to clear the national IMU-CET entrance exam for admission, along with meeting PCM and English score criteria, though some private colleges might have institute-level quotas or consider JEE scores for general B.Tech, but IMU-CET is key for Marine Engineering. 

To join a Marine Engineering course after Class 12th, candidates need PCM with good scores of around 60% aggregate in PCM, plus 50% in English.

Candidates must appear for the IMU-CET entrance exam, clear medical tests, and apply to affiliated colleges, often with sponsorship opportunities from shipping companies after selection.
