Marine Engineering and Research Institute

• The Marine Engineering and Research Institute (MERICAL) stands proudly in Calcutta, India. On the day of India's national independence in 1947, it opened its doors to young, ambitious marine engineers. The government of India has connected this institute with the ministry of shipping so that students can both train and find jobs after completing their study. Students can expect eight semesters of extensive theory and laboratory practicum. At the end of the engineering course, students take the Engineers India Limited FPO examination.
