Hey,

A merchant naval officer's role is to look after the country's commercial shipping. Deck officers, engineers, and ratings are all positions available in the merchant navy. Each of them plays a particular role in ensuring that the cargo is safely carried from one location to another.

Students must have completed 10+2 in physics, chemistry, and mathematics from a recognised board with an aggregate of 50% or equivalent. To work in the merchant navy, you must first complete a bachelor's degree programme in a related field such as offshore engineering, naval engineering, or marine engineering. Moreover, a Masters degree/internships can also be helpful.

The merchant navy has a lot of potential. Because shipping businesses handle the majority of import-export, there will always be a demand for merchant naval personnel. In the merchant fleet, the starting pay is very attractive. In the merchant navy, there is a lot of room for advancement. The marine industry's private sector has billions invested in it. The average salary can lie anywhere between INR 5-6 Lakhs and can vary with the company a person is associated with and the job position.

Hello Aspirant,

No college offers 100% placements. It is just the skills that support the placement and jobs.

Private colleges at also better but I would suggest you join some Training Institute run by the companies themselves rather than going for private/government colleges. I've enlisted some institutes from which you can take training. These are:

• Anglo-Eastern
• Fleet Management
• Wallem Institute
• ESM institute

These institutes have their training programs which help in the merchant navy jobs.

But you need to work on yourself first for the placement.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Hello student,

It is not possible to give 12th exam twice from the same board when you have already got passing marks. Only the students who fail, are allowed to re appear for 12th exams.

In order to repeat 12th, you have to opt for some other state board, do your 12th with mathematics and physics and then apply for NDA to get admission in merchant Navy. But remember the age limit for NDA to apply is 16.5 to 19.5. I hope you don't exceed the limit till then.

I hope this information helps you.

Here is all you need to know about NDA.
