Academy of Maritime Education and Training is a other institute, founded in 1993. This page brings together what is on record for this course at Academy of Maritime Education and Training — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means keeping systems safe: networks, cryptography, ethical hacking, secure coding and digital forensics. Typical first jobs: security analyst, penetration tester or SOC engineer. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Academy of Maritime Education and Training for the current semester-wise plan.

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at Academy of Maritime Education and Training as a group.
