The Department of Marine Engineering was established in the year 2001, has garnered a stellar reputation for its commitment to excellence in maritime education and research. It is approved by Director General of Shipping (DG) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

One of its hallmark practices includes a unique admission process, where selected students receive appointment orders along with their admissions, ensuring a seamless transition into the world of marine engineering.

The department is equipped with state-of-art laboratories and facilities to provide hands-on training to students. These facilities may include engine simulators, ship design software and workshops for practical training on marine machinery and equipment. With a focus on practical training and hands-on experience, students benefit from cutting-edge facilities and industry collaborations, preparing them to tackle the challenges of the maritime industry with confidence.

The curriculum is carefully crafted in align with the global curriculum prepared by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to cover both theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for a career in marine engineering. It typically includes subjects like marine propulsion systems, ship construction and design, marine electrical systems, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, marine materials, marine control systems, and marine safety regulations.

The department collaborates with industry partners to offer students opportunities for internships, industrial visits, and practical training onboard ships or at maritime companies. This collaboration helps students gain real-world experience and stay updated with the latest industry trends and practices.

The department is actively involved in research and innovation in various areas of marine engineering. Faculty members and students may undertake research projects in fields such as alternative fuels for ships, green technologies for sustainable shipping, advanced propulsion systems, ship performance optimization, and maritime safety and security. Graduates from the Marine Engineering Department are well-prepared to pursue careers in various sectors of the maritime industry, including shipping companies, shipyards, offshore oil and gas industry, marine research organizations, and maritime regulatory authorities. They may work as marine engineers, naval architects, marine surveyors, port engineers, or pursue higher studies and research in marine engineering or related fields.
