Hi Mohan. Naval architecture is an engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction, maintenance and operation of marine vessels and structures. Naval architecture involves basic and applied research, design, development, design evaluation and calculations during all stages of the life of a marine vehicle. Preliminary design of the vessel, its detailed design, construction, trials, operation and maintenance, launching and dry-docking are the main activities involved. Ship design calculations are also required for ships being modified (by means of conversion, rebuilding, modernization, or repair). Naval architecture also involves formulation of safety regulations and damage control rules and the approval and certification of ship designs to meet statutory and non-statutory requirements. List of Colleges which offer Naval Architecture are as follows a) Andhra University - Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh b)Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute of Architecture and Environmental Studies - Mumbai, Maharashtra c) Cochin University d) Institute of Maritime Studies e) IIT Kharagpur - Indian Institute of Technology f) International Maritime Academy (IMA) You must score above 90% in +2 and 90% in the entrance exams also All the best.
