The Indian Maritime University-Admission 2015 offers a Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS) for candidates sponsored by shipping companies. The admission process includes a Computer-based Common Entrance Test (CET) conducted by the university. The test is designed to assess the aptitude and knowledge of candidates who wish to pursue a career in maritime studies. The DNS program prepares students for roles in navigation, ship operations, and maritime safety.

Candidates must have completed their 10+2 education with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects. They should be sponsored by a recognized shipping company. The university may specify additional criteria such as minimum marks or age limits on its official page.

Candidates sponsored by shipping companies should register for the CET through the Indian Maritime University's official page. The registration process includes filling out an application form and paying the required fee. The university will announce the exact steps and deadlines on its website.
