Please refer to the following letter. http://dgshipping.gov.in/writereaddata/ShippingNotices/201307110234023281250tcir5_2012.pdf.
B.Tech mechanical and automation engineering graduates are eligible to undergo 1-year graduate marine engineering course. As mechatronics is mechanical and automation engineering, I am of the opinion that you are eligible to join merchant navy after 1-year course. However, you are required to seek clarification from DG Shipping.
