Year 1 starts with engineering maths, physics and drawing. Later years move into ships, marine systems and offshore structures. The syllabus adds design work as you move up, so keep your drawing and mechanics base clear.
| Year | What you study |
|---|---|
| Year 1 | Engineering maths, physics, drawing and workshop basics |
| Year 2 | Ship structure, mechanics and marine basics |
| Year 3 | Ship design, resistance, propulsion and offshore structures |
| Year 4 | Projects, electives and marine design work |
The department lists 30 seats for the B.E. Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering course. A small seat count makes the cutoff change fast when a few students change choices. Fill this branch only if ship and offshore work is your real aim.
| Quota | Seats |
|---|---|
| Department listed intake | 30 seats |
| Admission route | AP EAPCET counselling |
| Course length | 4 years |
