After completion of 12th class, interested candidates can appear for the Indian Maritime University Common Entrance Test (IMU CET) or the All India Merchant Navy Entrance Exam.
Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility for joining merchant navy is finishing class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

I get called for ssb in bhopal for btech entry in navy. Is it possible to change the centre for ssb? Will they give accommodation to parent?
Hey Maneesh,
You can't change the SSB center if the SSB center is not done by your choice. They will choose where you need to go for SSB. The allowances will be given for transportation only for you and maybe there will be no allowances for the parent's transportation. As far as I heard of it only one family members ticket will be paid by the Navy. There will be no Accomodations to the candidate's parents they have to arrange by there own. And the criteria for BMI and other fitness-related pieces of information are given in the there official site.
Hope that helps
all the best
