If you have take Commerce stream in 11th and 12th standard, then there is no way to apply in Merchant Navy. I am afraid but you missed out the opportunity. It is only possible if you have completed 12th standard with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Merchant Navy is responsible for a large percentage of global trade. Export/Import of crude Oil, Heavy Machinery etc can not be done via air. This is where Merchant Navy comes into picture. At present Merchant Navy is responsible for more than 90 percent of global trade.

Now to get a job in Merchant Navy you have two options. First is to complete 12th standard and then apply for deck cadet. Other is to go for graduation course so that you can get officer level jobs.

The courses to go after are B.Sc Nautical Science or Marine Engineering.


Eligibility

1. You should have finished 12th standard.

2. Physics, Chemistry and Maths should be subjects.

3. Candidate should be unmarried.

4. Age limit is 25 years.

5. There is 5 years relaxation for SC/ST.


After completing graduation course you can apply for the officer level jobs in Merchant Navy. However candidates who have completed B.Tech course in Mechanical/Electrical/Technology are also eligible for the job.

They will have to apply for the 9 months long pre sea course in Marine Engineering. This course is offered by MERI.

As for deck cadet candidates, 12th should be completed with Physics, Chemistry and Maths as the subjects. After which they will have to go through 3 months long pre sea training.
