Hi, Yes marine engineering is a very good option. The average pay of a third officer is around 70000 per month. The government college for marine engineering is IMU that is Indian Maritime University. This is best for marine engineering but I'll suggest you to go to any private college like Tolani or Anglo Eastern these have their own ships and placement is also good. With good package.
