I m presently studying in class 10. But I don't want to take PCM in Class 11. So can I take diploma in class 11 and after class 12 can I join Merchant Navy?

Yes, you can choose to pursue a diploma after class 10th instead of taking PCM in class 11th. After completing your diploma, you can join the Merchant Navy. However, the exact eligibility requirements for joining the Merchant Navy may vary depending on the specific job position you are interested in.

After completing a diploma in Merchant Navy or related streams like Mechanical etc, you can work in various positions such as:

Deck officers are responsible for the navigation of the ship, and the safety and security of the crew and cargo. Marine engineers are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the ship's engines, machinery, and other systems.
