B.Sc Nautical Science is a three-year-long undergraduate course that deals with the control and operation of naval vessels and ships. The job opportunities for graduates of this course aren't restricted to only the Indian navy but also many private marine-based shipment/research companies do hire nautical science graduates for operations.
Students when opting for the Bsc Nautical Science course often wonder, “what is Bsc Nautical Science?” and "Why to choose B.Sc Nautical Science?". To understand the answer to these questions, we can make it simpler by breaking it down into the following three short questions:
B.Sc Nautical Science is a three-year-long undergraduate course that provides major insights to control, navigation, cargo handling and operation of marine vessels which are deployed in defence, merchant navy, and shipment. The main focus of this course is understanding the concept of nautical motion, navigation and operational process required in the development, management, operation, and maintenance of marine vessels. It also trains students in seamanship and provides onboard knowledge on how to tackle various problems in propelling the vessel and cabin. The course has job opportunities for students in both private and government organizations. Students can work for the Indian Marine or private marine-based shipment/research companies.
