FOREWORD
The syllabus for 3 year B.Sc.(Nautical Science) Degree course has been tailored to suit the present need of the
Industry.
The syllabus is drawn up keeping the objective of providing Maritime Education and Training including
competencies that one would require to progress in the career from a cadet to Master Mariner.
The syllabus contents have been drawn up keeping in mind the country’s sound education system at the 10 +2
level which is the entry level qualification for this programme.
Continuous interaction with the Industry experts have impressed upon us to revise on the present B.Sc. (Nautical
Science) syllabus.
Now, the syllabus has been revised in such a way to keep the total hours in semester reduced from 600 hrs to the
band of 520-540 hrs. Also the English syllabus has been revised to the demand of time and industry. The
Hon’ble Supreme court guidelines and UGC directives on subject of ‘’Environmental studies’’ have been
introduced with this revision. All the semester subjects have been re-structured.
A Nautical Science career in non - academic areas, demands a very high level of discipline and overall growth
of an officer to take up a highly demanding job of a Navigating Officer aboard a modern merchant ship. In view
of this, a highly integrated Education and training schedule is drawn up to provide for development of the
extracurricular activities of an individual. This includes the necessary regimental training in uniform for
disciplined education.
The Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, School board members of Nautical studies, the Department of Controller of
Examinations, IMU HQ and faculty of IMU Campuses and affiliated colleges have offered valuable direction
and key inputs during revision of the syllabus. Last but not the least is the immense contribution put in by staff
of IMU-Navi Mumbai Campus for compiling this revised version..
