So, you're looking at AMET and MANET for your BSc in Nautical Science, right? Both are pretty solid choices, but here’s a quick rundown to help you decide.

MANET (Maharashtra Academy of Naval Education and Training) is super well-regarded and has an ‘A1’ rating from the Indian Register of Shipping. AMET University is also known for good maritime education across different fields.

Academics:

For both, you need around 59% in your 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Maths, plus at least 50% in English. Good eyesight (6/6) is a must, and you should be under 25.
The course sets you up to be a navigating officer, and you'll need to do a 12-month on-board training after you finish.

Here’s a quick comparison table:

Parameter	AMET	MANET
Selection Procedure	Written, Personal, Medical Exam	MANET CET/IMU CET, Written, Personal, Medical Exam
Placement Percentage	40	40-60
Seats	250	200
Fee Per Annum (INR)	3.35	10.25
Average Package (LPA)	3.2	3.5

Training Infrastructure:

AMET has a center for students who want to get into entrepreneurship.
MANET has a ship on campus for practical training, plus ten labs, including a Lifeboat and Muster Station.
Both have decent hostels, food, and sports facilities.

Faculty:

MANET has 40+ faculty who’ve worked in shipping for 13-18 years.
AMET has 15+ faculty and a couple of visiting ones.

Placements:

MANET: Usually has an 80% placement rate. Companies start visiting in the 3rd year. Top recruiters include Maersk, BW Maritime, and Chevron. Salaries can range from ₹35,000/month as a Trainee Engineer to ₹6,00,000/month as a captain.
AMET University: Graduates have seen salaries from ₹27,000 to ₹1 lakh per month. Maersk is a big recruiter, having placed 93 cadets.
