No, as per my knowledge you are not eligible for deck officer post as candidates who wants to be a deck officer should have normal eyesight of 6/6 with no color blindness.

Candidates must have completed their intermediate in science stream from a recognized board with minimum of 65% marks or B.SC with minimum of 60% marks from a recognized university.
