Kerala's Trusted IMU CET & Merchant Navy Academy
Madame Curie Entrance Academy, Thrissur has built a track record that speaks for itself — 281 students cleared IMU CET in 2026, more than double the previous year, and our Kerala topper secured All India Rank 34. Rated 4.8★ by 242 students on Google, we help Merchant Navy aspirants across Kerala clear the IMU Common Entrance Test through structured, result-driven coaching.
Choosing the right coaching institute is the single biggest decision an IMU CET aspirant makes. The Indian Maritime University Common Entrance Test (IMU CET) is the gateway to a career in the Merchant Navy — B.Tech Marine Engineering, B.Sc Nautical Science, DNS Deck Cadet and other maritime programmes — and competition for those seats grows every year. A good coaching institute does not just teach the syllabus; it builds exam temperament, drills the right high-yield topics, runs realistic mock tests, and mentors each student toward the rank they need.
At Madame Curie Entrance Academy in Thrissur, that approach has produced Kerala's standout results. In 2026, 281 of our students cleared IMU CET — up from 122 in 2025, a 130% year-on-year increase — and our student Mohammed Cinan C secured All India Rank 34, the top rank from Kerala. Those numbers, together with a 4.8-star rating from 242 verified Google reviews, are why students across the state consider us among the best IMUCET coaching centres in Kerala.

Know the Exam
IMU CET is a three-hour, 200-mark online test with no negative marking. Knowing the weightage of each section is the first step to a smart preparation plan — and it is what our coaching is built around.
| Section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 50 | 50 |
| Physics | 50 | 50 |
| Chemistry | 25 | 25 |
| English | 25 | 25 |
| General Aptitude | 25 | 25 |
| General Knowledge | 25 | 25 |
| Total | 200 | 200 |
Because Mathematics and Physics together carry half the paper, our batches spend the most time there — while making sure the quick-scoring Chemistry, English, Aptitude and GK marks are not left on the table. For a full breakdown, see our IMU CET 2026 syllabus guide and chapter-wise Maths weightage.
Your Career at Sea
Clearing IMU CET opens the door to undergraduate maritime programmes at Indian Maritime University campuses and affiliated colleges — B.Tech Marine Engineering, B.Sc Nautical Science, the DNS (Diploma in Nautical Science) deck-cadet route, B.Sc Ship Building & Repair and more. These lead to careers as Marine Engineers and Deck Officers on merchant vessels worldwide, with strong earning potential and rapid career progression.
Many students also pursue the company sponsorship route, where a shipping company funds training in return for a service commitment. We guide students through both paths — IMU CET admission and sponsorship exams & interviews. Not sure which suits you?
