The areas of activity in Merchant Navy are broadly grouped in three categories:
Navigation;
Engineering; and
Radio & Wireless Communication.

Navigation:
Officers in this category concern themselves with navigation of the ship, the loading and off-loading of cargo and safety of the passengers (if any) and the crew.
Engineering:
The marine engineers are responsible for efficient engineers are responsible for efficient and smooth operation of the ship. They take care of all engineering equipments installed on the ship including all electrical and refrigeration machinery.

This department is concerned with the shore and maintaining the equipments as well.
Eligibility for Merchant Navy
The eligibility conditions and options to join the Merchant Navy are as follows:

(1) To join the navigation or marine engineering branch of Merchant Navy, one must have a bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Marine Engineering or a degree of B.Sc. in Nautical Science from any recognized university of institute.

(2) One can also join as a deck cadet on board a ship after completing 10 + 2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and train on the job for three years. After the on-job training one has to appear for the competency examination, as required by the Union Ministry of Surface Transport, to be eligible to become a Navigation Officer.
Courses in Merchant Navy
The courses related to Merchant Navy should be approved by Director-General of Shipping, Government of India. The various pre-sea courses for joining Merchant Navy either as a Deck/Engineer Officer are:

A four-year degree course leading to BE (Marine) after 10+2.

ii. Marine Engineering & Research Institute (MERI), Kolkata.

iii. Marine Engineering & Research Institute (MERI), Mumbai.

iv. Lal Bahadur Shastri College of advanced Maritime Studies and Research, Mumbai.

You can get admitted to these through IIT-JEE or IMU conducted entrance tests..

After passing out, you will have to go through trainings of merchant navy cadets and then you will be given navy officer post.

As you have done mechanical engineering, you can join the Merchant navy as a Engine Cadet/ Fifth Engineer/ Junior Engineer and later you have to take pre-sea trainings.

All the best!

Dear friend
You can appear Indian Engineering services which is supposed to be very prestigious exam for engineers.
On qualifying IES you can opt for
Indian Naval Armament Service (mechanical engineering posts).

Another way; You can do some course related to ocean engineering and naval architecture. IIT Madras and IIT Kharagpur offers M.Tech in Ocean Engineering on the basis of GATE. Mechanical Engineers can apply for this M.Tech program and join the navy sector.

mainly navy os different from military navy.
There are 3 kinds of fleets in it :
1.cargo carriers
2.oil tankers and other special vehicles carriers.
3.passenger liners.

merchant navy officers spread oer 3 main AREAS :
1.captain
2.second officer
3.third officer and post that make deck workforce.

courses admissions are held through IIT-JEE exams. selected indiviuals are enrolled into 2 branches of merchant navy i.e, NAVIGATIONAL SCIENCE AND MARINE ENGINEERING.
*medical fitness is the most important thing *
B.E in marine engineering is 4 years, requires 12 years of schooling
B.sc in nautical science is 3 years, requires higher secondary education.
students must have taken science subjects with english and maths as main subject.
and one can further continue in this branch for higher education.
ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR CAREER.

There are pre-sea and post-sea training institutes under the Directorate General of Shipping, Ministry of Surface Transport.On successful completion of training the candidates are eligible to take up jobs on board Indian/foreign vessels.
I am specifying the name and brief detail of some institutes in which courses are offered.
(i) Lal Bahadur Shastri College of Advanced Maritime Studies & Research, Hay Bunder, Tank Road Mumbai-400033. is one of the largest institutes in Asia in terms of student turn over;offers post-sea training to the Marine officers of both deck and engine in 32 various courses
(ii) Marine Engineering and Research Institutes (MERI),P-19 Taratola Road Calcutta –700088./Hay Bunder Tank Road Mumbai-400033.
The institute at Calcutta, which has a capacity of 120 students per year provides 4 years degree course in Marine Engineering
(iii) T. S. Chanakya, Karave Navi Mumbai-400706.


The shore based academy was earlier known as T. S. Dufferin and later as T. S. Rajendra;
The institute conducts two types of courses :-
1. 3 years degree course in Nautical Science with an intake capacity of 80 cadets per course under aegis of University of Mumbai.
2. 3 months pre-sea training course with an intake capacity of 120 cadets per course


For admission to these colleges one has to take test.Admission to MERI and T. S. Chanakya are through a joint entrance examination conducted by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) at national level.
For the 3 months pre-sea cadets course, the candidates have to be sponsored by various shipping companies.
For 6 months Trainee Mechanical Engineering course, candidates possessing degree in mechanical engineering have to be sponsored by shipping companies.
For post-sea training course at LBS College of Advanced Maritime Studies & Research, the marine officers themselves approach the institutes for updating their technical competency according to the needs of STCW’ 95 and other stipulation laid down by IMO and Government of India
Apart from this IGNOU OPENNET test is also conducted every year.

i am student of 12th can i do this course,i have commerse can i

The maximum age limit for joining for the course is 25 years. There are two options available for the candidate to join this stream. The first one is to join after the 12th standard. The other option is after Graduation. During the graduations candidates who are from Marine Engineering background can join directly. Those from Mechanical Engineering and B.Sc background will need to undergo Pre Sea training. Since you are from Mechanical engineering background you are eligible to join. However you will need to undergo a year of pre sea training. There will be an entrance exam and interview round. This will be followed by Physical Fitness test.
