Women prefer to sail too
“In the recent times, we have many women students who join the marine engineering and nautical sciences programme and they show great interest in the maritime career,” says Mr. Vijayan.
As Gayathri M. a second-year nautical science student at IMU Chennai campus says, “It was the adventure aspect of the career that pulled me in to this course.”
According to her, shipping is a very attractive career and even during recession the job market was stable.
Sricheta Patra, a marine engineering student, says that shipping industry provides vast career opportunity and is a high paying job.
