1-year Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS) is a pre-sea training course approved by Directorate General of Shipping (DGS) and affiliated to Indian Maritime University (IMU).

bsc is better option for you as it's a full time after that you can join navy. But doing one year diploma may not beneficial as much.

hopefully this helps!!!
