Re: What is the procedure to join Merchant Navy? Age limit and requirements for joining merchant navy?

Hi,
I am planning to join Merchant Navy as a Career.
I have done my 12th in Commerce (70%) and Graduation as B.Com (63.2 %), my age is 28.

I recently visited an institute for Merchant Navy. They said the age limit is 17 - 30. They will give me a 14-days training and then I will be sent on Deck as a Ordinary Seaman (OS), completing 1 year as Ordinary Seaman (OS) then will be promoted as Able Bodied Seaman (AB), then Bosun.
The institute is approved by D.G Shipping.

I also inquired in another institute that said the actual age limit is 17-25, but is you have a ST/SC certificate, the age limit extends for 5 years, that is 17-30.

I need help here to know if I am not been lied about age limit and training.
Please mail me your advice at e-mail: [email protected] or leave your comments pls.

Re: What is the procedure to join Merchant Navy? Age limit and requirements for joining merchant navy?

As your a commerce student you cannot so through exams like NDA and CDS but there are job opportunities for you in Indian Navy like you can go through SSB board.Its better that you go through NCC course which will benefit you in the Entrance exam like SSB board.

You can even go through the Officer's Academy and other such exams.You can visit the official website to get all the information

http://www.nausena-bharti.nic.in/

http://www.upsc.gov.in

SSB is of fourteen year service but you can extend your service if you need to.
