Etymology
BNS is an abbreviation made from the first letters of Bachelor, Naval, and Science, where Bachelor means 'a first university degree', Naval comes from 'navy' or 'ships', and Science means 'knowledge' or study. So BNS is the short name for the degree you get for studying the navy, ships, and maritime science.
