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.

Hii Vijay

The following deck officer training course outlined are those that will help an individual a great deal in determining what’s best for a chosen path to becoming one.

1. B.S. Nautical Technology

This is a 3+1 years course that is available only in India. The degree in question here is offered by the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, and is offered in two of the institutes in India. The first 3 years of the merchant navy course is spent in the institute where a variety of subjects are taught extensively. The final year is devoted to an internship on board a vessel as a deck cadet for a minimum period of 12 months.

The internship period is extremely crucial as the degree is only conferred when an individual finishes his sea time.

The 2nd Mate license is obtained after finishing the mandatory sea time, upon clearing the MMD (Mercantile Marine Department) examinations. There are a total of 48 subjects covered in the study period of 3 years.

Still if you have any query feel free to reply back.
