Coimbatore Marine College Application Fees

CMC Coimbatore does not publish a separate institute application fee on its website. For B.Tech Marine Engineering and B.Sc Nautical Science admissions through IMU CET, candidates pay the IMU CET application fee to the Indian Maritime University (imu.cbexams.com), not to CMC directly. For the MBA, TANCET exam fees are paid to Anna University.

• IMU CET (B.Tech Marine Engineering and B.Sc Nautical Science): Application fee paid to IMU at imu.cbexams.com. IMU CET 2026 registration closed April 28, 2026.
• TANCET (MBA): Exam registration fee paid to Anna University.
• CAT (MBA alternate): Exam fee paid to the organizing IIM.

Any institute-level admission processing charges for GME, ETO, or Certificate courses should be confirmed directly with the CMC Coimbatore admissions office before applying. DGS-regulated maritime programmes like GME and ETO may also have additional documentation fees (medical examination, CDC registration) that are separate from the tuition fee and paid to the relevant maritime authorities.

Coimbatore Marine College Hostel and Mess Fees 2026-27

CMC Coimbatore provides hostel facilities for both male and female students on campus. At up to INR 36,000 per year, the hostel fee is notably low relative to the annual course fees, adding less than 18 percent to the annual B.Tech Marine Engineering fee and less than 15 percent to the B.Sc Nautical Science fee. This makes on-campus residence a cost-effective choice for students relocating to Coimbatore for their maritime education.

Mess charges may be billed separately from the hostel accommodation fee. For B.Sc Nautical Science and B.Tech Marine Engineering students, the four-year combined programme and hostel cost (at maximum hostel rate) would be approximately INR 9,46,000 and INR 8,62,000 respectively, subject to mess charges. Candidates should confirm the current hostel rates, mess arrangements, and room availability with the CMC Coimbatore hostel administration at the time of admission.
