According to my knowledge, girls are eligible for merchant navy only after graduation with minimum 55 % aggregate.
After completing graduation you have to crack UPSC examination then after you will join merchant navy.

As per my knowledge girls are not eligible for Merchant Navy after completion of intermediate. You can join Merchant Navy after completion of your graduation only. For that you have to give an exam which is conducted by UPSC. Thanks

Post Re: Can a girl candidate join Merchant Navy after 12th?

Can girls join Merchant Navy? The short answer is YES.

Which Rank and Departments girls should join in Merchant Navy?


In the Merchant Navy, there are 3 departments to work in:
  • Engine department
  • Deck department
  • Galley/catering department

In each of the above departments, there are two categories of jobs:
  • Officer rank
  • Crew (Non-officer) rank

Considering the current scenario, working culture, and work profiles, women should opt for a rank in the Officers category. Crew or non-officer ranks are less preferable for girls in the Merchant Navy. Things might gradually improve in the near future and women might join the crew category as well. However, presently, there are no females working in the crew category in India.

In the officer category, girls can join the following ranks and departments:

1. Navigating or Deck Department
2. Engine Department
3. Galley/Catering Department

For more information about this topic you can refer this blog in depth from here.


Thanks for reading.
