Frequently Asked Questions

Ans: To apply, you must meet the course-specific eligibility criteria set by the Indian Maritime University. For most UG programmes, you need to have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics from a recognized board. You must also meet the minimum aggregate marks requirement and age limit, which varies by course. Some programmes may additionally require medical fitness standards.

Ans: There is no fixed limit on the number of attempts for IMU CET. You can apply every year as long as you continue to meet the eligibility conditions. This includes age limits and academic requirements for the specific course. Once you exceed the age limit, you will no longer be eligible to apply.

Ans: Yes, you can apply even if your Class 12 results are not declared yet. You need to select the “Result Awaited” option during registration. However, you must provide your final mark sheet at the time of admission. Failure to submit the required documents later can lead to cancellation of admission.

Ans: Yes, you can edit the application form after submission. The Indian Maritime University usually opens a correction window for a limited period after registration closes. During this time, you can modify certain details such as academic information or uploaded documents. However, key fields like your name, email ID, and chosen course are generally not allowed to be changed, so you should review everything carefully before final submission.

Ans: You need to pay the application fee online while submitting the form on the Indian Maritime University admissions portal. The fee is INR1,000 for General, OBC-NCL, and EWS candidates, while SC and ST candidates need to pay INR700. Payment can be made using debit card, credit card, or net banking. Your application will be considered complete only after successful fee payment.
