India's first Maritime Deemed to be University for maritime-related education, training and research.
Overlooking the deep blue sea cradled by the Bay of Bengal and tucked in the scenic drive way of east coast road is AMET. The one and only University from India to be a member of the International Association of Maritime Universities. With quality, commitment, knowledge and excellence as its corner stones, AMET had a humble beginning in the year 1993 with just 14 cadets molded for a career in merchant navy through a Higher National Diploma programme in marine engineering.
The journey from boy to man requires dedication and discipline. At AMET, I realised that sailing is not for the people who are in disciplined and non-dedicated. The initial days at AMET were tough, but it is these tough days that brings the best out of you. Our batch taught me what a good team work is and our college taught me what the right knowledge and motivation can lead to.

I never knew about the reality about shipping before I joined AMET. The very first days itself were an eye-opener to me. Slowly and steadily I came to know about the will and courage it requires to be a seaman . The well versed and competent faculty of AMET made sure that we become a successfully seafarer. Right now I have moved to Canada but even then the years spent at AMET campus would be always etched in my memory.

The blue vast oceans test a man's Calibre. It requires mentally tough and physically fit people who can navigate through the oceans. AMET provided me the right set of knowledge and skillset to be a disciplined and evolved sailor.
