i have got only 71 prcnt total in my 12th board exams and i have PCM what can i do with this unpleasant marks plzz suggest me
Hii Adarsh You can join the merchant navy in two ways. If you do not want to study any further then there is deck cadet job for you to apply. The salary won't be great but good enough. Don't expect 6 digit figure for salary. If you can study further it would be nice. The officer level jobs are well paid and comes with additional perks. I will definitely recommend you to continue with your studies as pursue either B.Sc in Nautical Science or Marine Engineering course. Eligibility 1. You should have completed 12th with PCM. 2. Only umarried candidates are eligible. 3. The age limit is 20 years. 4. SC and ST can apply till 25 years. 5. You will have to pass a medical test. 6. Physical requirements will have to be met such as at least 5 feet height, 6/6 vision etc. You can complete the Marine Engineering or B.Sc in Nautical Science and then apply for some officer level jobs in marine engineering. Direct Entry As I mentioned earlier, after completing 12th you can apply for the deck cadet job. If a company selects you then it will arrange a 3 months long pre-sea training for you. Candidates who have completed B.Tech in Electrical/Mechanical/Technology are also eligible for several officer level jobs in Merchant Navy. However such candidates will have to undergo through a 9 months log pre-sea course in Marine Engineering from MERI. All the best.

However, On Contrary, Bsc students shalll undergo 3 years in any of the DG approved institute and have to complete a minimum of 12 months sailing on a vessel above 500GRT. Only Then they will give the written and oral exams for second mates.

Hence, Bsc Nautical Scienec is best option in this case.
Intake of exams for merchant navy. Colleges and eligibility also
Well there are two best ways to get into merchant navy in India,
1- one year Diploma in nautical science
2- three year BSc degree in nautical science.
then you have to clear IMU (Indian maritime university) CET exams.
if you will search on on IMU website you will get the information regarding the admission process and dates of entrance.
I want to be a second or third officer(deck) in the merchant navy, I have done 10+2 with 62% what course should I choose?
DNS is the best option because you will earn early and after 1 yr shore training you will be joining ship and after minimum 18 yrs of the sea service as a Deck Cadet you will be promoted to 3rd/2nd officer after you clear your 2nd mates exam.
So first take sponsorship or join in good colleges such as Anglo eastern maritime academy , Great eastern maritime academy , Samundra institute of maritime institute , Tolani maritime Institute.etc
because first they provide sponsorship then your admission is confirmed and after course completion you will placed in your sponsored company.
It is compulsory to give IMU-CET exams for merchant navy
