I have colour blindness and I am in class 12 and have computer sciences with PCM, I want to go to merchant navy,
Hello Aspirant
I 'm really sorry ,As you have colour blindness ,that means you are not eligible for joining the Merchant Navy
Eligibility to join the Merchant Navy
AGE: The minimum age is 17 years and the maximum is 25 years to be eligible for examinations pertaining to the merchant navy. As per the Government rules, the maximum age relaxation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes is 5 years.
PHYSICAL FITNESS: Physical fitness is of utmost importance for a career at sea. A certificate of fitness from a registered medical practitioner is mandatory for admission into a course. Candidates with disability aren’t eligible for admission into courses with regard to the merchant navy. This hasn’t much to do with discrimination as such as it is supremely important to be fully able in carrying out the duties on board a merchant ship.
EYESIGHT: 6/12 in each eye or 6/9 in better eye and 6/18 in other eye for distant unaided vision. Color blindness in any case is absolutely NOT PERMITTED.
Hope it helps
Thank you
