Which one of the following statements about Indian Maritime University (IMU) is not correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Indian Maritime University (IMU) was established as a Central University through the Indian Maritime University Act, 2008, an Act of Parliament. It is headquartered in Chennai and was created to facilitate and promote maritime studies, training, and research. While it supports the maritime sector broadly, it was not established primarily to support the Indian Navy; rather, its focus is on the merchant marine, commercial shipping, and general maritime human resource development. The university aims to extend the benefits of knowledge and skill for the development of individuals and society by associating with local, regional, and national development issues. The Indian Navy has its own dedicated training establishments, such as the Indian Naval Academy in Ezhimala, which are distinct from the IMU's statutory mandate under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways.
