Generally candidates must have passed B.Sc nautical science and B.E. marine engineering is one way through which candidates can enter merchant navy, this will take you to the technical engineering jobs directly.

After your diploma you can join 12 months pre sea training course for cadets. There is a six months course of pre-sea training for general purpose ratings. You can also opt for mid terms courses leading to Alternate Training Scheme for Marine Engineers (ATS) after your 12th.

Some of the best institutes for you are :

** Great Eastern Institute of Maritime Studies

** T.S. Chanakya, Navi Mumbai

** Marine Engineering & Research Institute (MERI), Kolkata
