Experience on study
I am basically a graduate in Mechanical Engineering and I got my interest in Fluid Mechanics and Ship stability and propulsion systems and hence I applied for the masters program in Marine Engineering and Mechanical Handling. While studying I started observing things by visiting Hindustan Shipyard Limited. I learned a practical knowledge and surveys and the originality of the course and did some supervising while working. Hence my thirst to study more about increased and now I wanted to pursue my Phd but I am confused about the topic to choose and hence I am applying for universities for accepting my candidature.
