Tolani, MERI and MANET have best campus placements. Life at a hostel will be challenging and fun. If you have never stayed away from home or at a hostel, then this will be a very important transition in your life. You will have a heavy wolf pack and will not face trust issues with them. Clearing the air around topics: 1. NRE status No big deal, doesn't make you a king if you are having a NRE bank account. You have to schedule your sailing contracts to ensure that you complete 183 days (6 months) on ship(s) in a particular financial year to fulfill the criteria for obtaining a NRE status which will make your earnings for that financial year Tax-free. 2. Travel a lot. Depends on type of vessel you sail and the routes your vessel does. I know people who have sailed all their 5-6 months doing the West African coast without any opportunity to go and visit places. Oil/chemical tankers, gas carriers, container ships have quick operations and hence shorter port stays. 3. Exams You will have to study and give exams (written and verbal) for clearing 3 stages of your Marine Engineer Officer level. The first two set of exams - i) MEO Class IV ii) MEO Class II Will/can require multiple attempts and will/can take time up to one year or more. The last set of exams - MEO Class I should be done within 4-6 months. All the best.
