Merchant Navy is very attrative for those who love to travel around the world and get paid for it. Since Merchant Navy deals in cargo transportation from one country to another, you will get to travel various places in the world.


The basic qualification for job in merchant navy is 12th with PCM. If you have completed 10+2 in commerce and Arts then unfortunately you can not apply for Merchant Navy. Now the 10+2 qualification can offer Deck Cadet job to you.


If you want a officer level job that pays well then you must complete a graduation course. The option are B.Sc in Nautical Science or B.Tech in Marine Engineering. The choice would be yours. For both courses you must have completed 12th with PCM.


If you are applying for B.Tech then you must first appear for the competitve entrance exam for admission. Since AIEEE and IIT-JEE will be scrapped from next year onwards, the choice would be ISEET entrance exam. This exam is your ticket for admission in IITs and NITs. The dates of the exam are yet to be released by the government.
