Postgraduate Diploma in Asset Models and OT/IT Integration — studying from India

India has a long coastline and growing maritime ambitions, supported by shipbuilding and port development at Kochi, Mumbai, Visakhapatnam and Kolkata. Cochin Shipyard, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Larsen & Toubro's offshore arm are important employers. The Directorate General of Shipping sets regulations for vessel safety and seafarers, while the Indian Register of Shipping provides classification services. Offshore oil and gas activity led by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation adds further demand. Engineers work on naval architecture, marine systems, offshore structures and recreational boat design.

Fees for India: ₹190,000 (Indian Rupee), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Relevant bodies in India

  • Directorate General of Shipping (DG Shipping)
  • Indian Register of Shipping (IRS)
  • Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
  • Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) naval architecture departments

Typical roles

  • Naval Architect
  • Marine Engineer
  • Offshore Structures Engineer
  • Marine Systems Engineer

Questions from India

Which bodies regulate naval and offshore engineering in India?

The Directorate General of Shipping regulates shipping, and the Indian Register of Shipping is the classification society. Naval work is tied to the Indian Navy and shipyards. SEIUM's qualification is a private one and is not accredited by any national body, so recognition by these organisations is not automatic and must be checked with them.

Which employers in India use naval, offshore and nautical engineering skills?

Shipyards such as Mazagon Dock and Cochin Shipyard, offshore oil and gas service firms, marine consultancies, and sports boat builders are typical employers. Each decides its own hiring criteria. The programme can support your profile, but it does not secure a role or any particular recognition.

Can I study this online from India with a job, and what are the costs?

The programme is 100% online and taught in English, so you can study from anywhere in India and do not need a student visa. Workload depends on the programme length, with support from an assigned technical tutor and a final project. Fees are payable in instalments, and employer sponsorship is possible.

How you'll learn

Fully 100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded lectures and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is AVEVA PI System, Kepware (OPC UA), Node-RED, Azure Digital Twins, SAP PM, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures from OPC UA integration laboratories, OT/IT maturity assessment and cybersecurity risk analysis by zones and conduits. Assessment is continuous per module, plus the final integrating project.

Accreditable laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with a rotor test rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL and vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-oriented final project:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry mentoring:lecturers with experience in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible format(hybrid/online), international cohorts and support from SEIUM Career Services.
Ethics and safety:safety-by-design approach, OT cyber, DIH and compliance as core pillars.
