Hi Anil!
There is nothing called water merchant. In defence, I am assuming you mean to say Indian Navy that protects and safeguards the country's exclusive economic zone, the ocean resources and the coasts from any invasion. You can go through this link and see a detailed guidance about the career https://www.shiksha.com/careers/naval-officer-82.

Hi Gautam,
You can apply online. But in addition to IMUCET, you also have to clear sponsorship exams of shipping companies, these exams are now heavy on competition and candidate has to get sponsored by a good company to secure admission in IMU courses. For information, please visit http://officersmaritimeacademy.in/dns-sponsorship-programme/.

No, you cannot appear for IMUCET.

Yes, on the basis of your rank in IMT, you can get admission in AEMS and SIMS, but not in IMU.

Hi,
