Merchant Navy Officer

Hi, it depends about your aptitude. B.Tech is an undergraduate academic degree conferred after completion of a three-year, a four-year, or even a five-year (such as in Nigeria) programme of studies at an accredited university or accredited university-level institution. Merchant navy officers are employed by commercial shipping companies to work on all kinds of seagoing vessels, such as cruise liners, cargo ships, tankers and hovercraft. These guys typically adopt a deck officer or engineering officer role in a team leading capacity.

There are several ways of working in the merchant navy. The best way in my opinion is to get admitted in IMU or Indian Maritime University. They have several courses in Engineering and Science. It is a very good government college that provides opportunities in the naval field. There are also various other exams like AIMNET etc. But you should aim for IMUCET. It is the best option.

The exam will be conducted on 12th August.

Hello,
Eligibility for B.Sc. In Nautical Science. As a minimum criterion of eligibility, the course requires the candidate to have attained the 10+2 qualification in the Science stream with Physics, Math and Chemistry as main subjects, and a minimum aggregate score of 60%.

All you need is a one-year specialised course. A one-year Graduate Marine Engineering (GME) course after mechanical engineering would give students the licence to enter merchant navy. This one-year GME course is all you need to become a marine engineer after doing mechanical engineering.
