Hi,
Can someone please advise me if there will be a company who will be willing to sponsor me? I am a girl 21years of age, completed 12th Science with an aggregate of 55% in PCM. I am eligible as per IMU criteria but, many shipping companies have a more stringent eligibility criteria. I am VERY interested in joining merchant navy and also, this career perfectly fits the type of person that I am. Also, I am a very hard working person and physically fit. Will they sponsor me if I approach them? Usually most of the advertisements ask for candidates with a minimum of 60% in PCM and an age group of 17 to 20yrs. Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
