I wanted to know what is the fee structure?which entrance exams must be passed of?is upsc essential for merchant navy?

There are in general two ways to become a merchant navy in India

After completing a three undergraduate course in India named as B.SC in nautical science,you can become a merchant navy officer,Education qualification required is Intermediate with minimum 60% in physics,Chemistry and Mathematics.
The entry is a direct entry,no entrance exams required,based on marks scored in Intermediate admission is done.
The course fees is little high when compared to other courses in India its around 7-8 lakhs in three year.

Another option is a option through giving entrance/competitive exam,it is a named as
B.tech in marine engineering,is a four year course is for those who have done Intermediate with Physics,Chemistry and Maths.
The course fees is similar to that of B.Sc in Nautical Science,but unlike nautical science it is a four year course and entrance exam is necessary to study it.

These two are most popular choices to become merchant navy in Indian apart from that one can also become merchant navy after completing Mechanical Engineering,B.tech in Mechanical Engineering.
