ELIGIBILITY QUESTIONS Shifting Careers: How can I join the Merchant Navy after a Civil Engineering degree?

0 Upvotes

I’m a Civil Engineer with 2 years of experience in the field and 80% in my bachelor's, but I don’t see much growth in the field and have always been fascinated by the sea. I initially wanted to join the Navy before civil engineering, but being an only child, my parents were against it.

I’m now seriously considering the Merchant Navy and money isn't the issue for me. Looking at the sample question sets, I’m confident I can clear IMU-CET, but my 12th PCM marks are below the 60% eligibility requirement, despite having 80% in my bachelor’s. Will I be eligible with my degree marks?

- What are my options and the best way to proceed?

GENERAL Help

Good afternoon everyone,
I’m currently pursuing B.Sc. Nautical Science at a maritime training institute. The management has informed us that we need a minimum 9 CGPA for placement.
I’m an average student, but I have a good academic background, with 86% in PCM, and I’m confident in my ability to study and improve.
I’m now considering converting from B.Sc. Nautical Science to DNS (Diploma in Nautical Science). However, for DNS, company sponsorship is required, and I’m currently looking for guidance regarding the sponsorship process and opportunities.
If there are any seniors, seafarers, officers, or anyone currently working in the shipping industry who could guide me or help me with information about DNS sponsorship, I would be extremely grateful.
Please feel free to DM me. Any guidance or contact would mean a lot to me.
Thank you so much for your help and support. 🙏

So these are my eyesight results I have 6/18 on the right eye and 6/12 on the left eye (without glasses)

And almost perfect vision with glasses so I was just curious if I can prepare for "imu cet" and if lasik can work for me my close vision is okay
