If you are talking about IIT programmes or programmes offered by some reputed universities, M Tech is generally a course/credit based programme wherein the student pursues a certain number of PG level courses apart from project work as to complete within 24 months. MS or M.Sc (Engineering) is generally a research based programme wherein the scholars enrolled for the same are expected to invest more time in research activity. It can be likened to a shorter version of a research based programme, but not at the level of a PhD. The load on course work required for the completion of the degree is dependent on the learner. If you are talking about courses abroad, then MS is a master's level programme offered by many foreign universities.

Hi Shakti,
Candidates who wishes to enter the navigational and engineering fields of Merchant Navy need to complete their B.Sc degree in mechanical or marine engineering before they can gain admission to the field. In some cases, students who have completed their 12th with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) are eligible to join as Deck Cadets.
Navigating Officers - Candidates will need to obtain a Certificate of Competency, as per the regulations in India relating to the examinations of Masters and Mates. Conducted by the Ministry of Surface Transport, in association with the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS) Mumbai, the examinations help determine the promotion prospects for the officers.
For training, the best training institution for the navigating officers is the T.S. Chanakya. Candidates need to go through a three year training in Nautical Science (B.Sc.) and then complete a year's duration of practical training in the deck department of a merchant ship. Selection is based on the Joint Entrance Examination given by the IIT.
A merit list is prepared after the written test and interview are completed and the Director General of Shipping has the authority to choose which of the 2 training programs the candidate is best suited for (students can let their preference be known). Both the T.S. Chanakya and MERI institutions do help (under no Government obligations) in recruiting their graduates in suitable Indian Shipping Companies.
As far as remuneration and other benefits are concerned Merchant Navy is one of the few careers where the salary is relatively high. The pay is definitely different from company to company, depending on the city, country, export and import needs, seniority etc.
I hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert.
Wish you luck!
