Although you could start filling out the application form even without it, a passport is an absolute requirement for you to enroll into the program. Apply for your passport in advance to ensure that your name on the passport matches with your 10th standard certificates.

Certainly, students who are taking their class 12 exam in the same admission year are eligible to apply. They need to tick "Result Awaited" button on the application form. Nevertheless, you will be required to submit documentation that proves your eligibility, which is securing 60% aggregate in PCM and 50% in English.

Yes, clearing the IMU CET (Common Entrance Test of Indian Maritime University) is compulsory for getting admission to the B.Sc. Nautical Science course. Along with this entrance test, one has to qualify the personal interview and medical test as well.

Eyesight is a critical factor for safety at sea. For B.Sc. Nautical Science, you must have 6/6 vision in both eyes without spectacles. For B.Tech Marine Engineering, the limits are slightly more flexible, allowing 6/12 in each eye or 6/9 in one and 6/18 in the other. However, normal color vision is mandatory for all courses; any degree of color blindness will lead to disqualification during the medical exam.

No, you cannot apply. MANET strictly requires candidates to have completed their Senior Secondary Examination (10+2) through a regular, full-time mode of education. The maritime industry demands rigorous physical and academic preparation that distance or correspondence courses cannot provide. Therefore, any qualification obtained through part-time or distance learning is automatically disqualified for both the B.Tech Marine Engineering and B.Sc. Nautical Science programs at the institute.

To join MANET, you must have normal color vision; color blindness is a disqualification. For B.Tech Marine Engineering or B.Sc. Nautical Science, your unaided vision should be at least 6/12 in each eye or 6/9 and 6/18.
