Hello Mohit,
You need to do marine engineering. For this, either CET of your state or JEE Mains are the requirements. Of course, you need to score enough in class 12th to qualify.
Best wishes.

No, it's not possible because it is a required criteria to pass in PCM with 60% marks. You may give class 12th exams again or go for any other options.

There are two types of jobs in Merchant Navy. Those who join shipping companies as permanent employees they get salary during holidays. Contract merchant navy employees only are paid for contract period and may not have payment during the break period. By the way, contract salaries are much higher in comparison to regular permanent employees.
