Indian Maritime University (Chennai Campus) Answered Questions

Being the alumnus of T S Chanakya, I can tell you that the admission procedure in B.Sc in nautical science is based on your IIT-JEE marks. TS Chanakya does not take its separate exam. Talking about the medical examinations of your body, your eyesight must be 6/6. You have to go through a whole body check up including your genitals. Any special muscle strength or muscle size is not required. Overweight/Underweight is not a matter of concern. If you are completely fit and have good IIT-JEE score you can become the part of the eminent training institution. Best of luck!
