Sorry dear there is no requirment for IT Engineers in Merchant Navy in any of the departments Deck, Engine, Radio, Services etc.

Yeah but you have option

For Deck Rating: Any bachelor degree(as it is prefered) with 1 year or 6 months pre-sea training.
Age Limit: 21 and 23 years.

Catering Rating: Any background will do. However, background in hotel management with experience in the hospitality business will be a great help.
In this field you need to upgrade your skills every nine months or so, through proficiency development or skill development courses in the maritime academies and pass examinations conducted by the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS). This will be your key to new contracts.

Age Limit: 25 years for MBA holders.
