Sorry that you are not eligible for Merchant Navy after completing Graduation from Commerce stream. Those candidates who have completed 12th standard in Science stream with Physics, chemistry and Mathematics subject are eligible to apply for Deck Cadet and Those who completed their Graduation in Nautical Science or Electronics & Communication Engineering can become a officer level post.

Is there any short term course for commerce students i any field of merchant navy?
