Just go through Employment newspaper which is normally publishrd in a week.
I think you will defintely get your answer.
Hope it will work.

Career in Merchant Navy can be pursued either as an officer or a rating in mainly two specialized fields
Marine Engineering and
Nautical (deck).

you can do these two courses only.

3 year degree course in Nautical Science for (10+2) students.
4 year degree course in Marine Engineering for (10+2) students.

government colleges .::

There are four Government Training Institutes providing Pre-Sea and Post-Sea training of international standard :

Training Ship Chanakya, Navi Mumbai.
Marine Engineering & Research Institute (MERI), Kolkata.
Marine Engineering & Research Institute (MERI), Mumbai.
Lal Bahadur Shastri College of advanced Maritime Studies and Research, Mumbai.

in most of these colleges admission is through IIT exam

procedure to join indian navy ,follow these steps,

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.


Physical Requirements for Merchant Navy

In addition, all the candidates who apply for the degree course should be physically and mentally fit. The Navigators are required to have a perfect eyesight, though marine engineers can wear spectacles for eyesight up to plus/minus 2.5. Colour blind people need not apply.

There are two premier institutions which impart training for Merchant Navy:
(a) T.S. Chanakya, Mumbai which offers a three-year degree course leading to B.Sc. in Nautical Sciences.
(b) The Marine Engineering Research Institute (MERI), Kolkata which offers a four-year degree course leading to B.Tech. in Marine Engineering.

The navigating officers are trained in seamanship, navigation and ship maintenance and handling of navigational instruments. Exercise for physical fitness is a compulsory and part of daily affairs. Students are taught advanced marine engineering and technology during the four-year engineering programme at MERI. Also, various workshops are held to train students in overhaul, repair and maintenance of the ship's main and auxiliary machinery and shipboard systems.

One has to accomplish at least two years of service at sea after completion of the three-year B.Sc. degree in Nautical Science to get a certificate of competency of Second Mate. This certificate is issued by the Union Ministry of Surface Transport and is a must if one wants to get a job on board a merchant ship. The certificate of T.S. Chanakya is equivalent to one year of sea service.

In case one wants to join as deck cadet directly with shipping company, one has to complete a minimum of three years' service at sea to be eligible to take the Second Mate Examination.

Prospects - Merchant Navy as Career

There is a tremendous demand for trained navigating and marine officers by both the public sector as well as the private sector companies. Comparatively in this profession the salary structure is very high. In the domestic companies the starting salaries may vary from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 50,000 per month. In foreign ships it could be as high as Rs. 1,00,000. Unlike other professions, shipping companies employ professionals n a contractual basis, which is for six to nine months.

Since life on board a ship is generally monotonous for most of the people, there are arrangements for all kinds of conveniences as well as entertainment in order to minimize boredom. Spacious lounges, televisions, indoor sports facilities and a range of other recreational facilities are now-a-days part and parcel of most of the ships. For the senior officers, the ships provide comfortable family accommodation.
Essentially, Merchant Navy is a career for men as there are a very few jobs for women. From time to time there have been suggestions to employ women as radio officers and doctors on the ship. So, if you like going on for long tours and at the same time earn good money, Merchant Navy is definitely a career for you.

all the best...............................
