Hello,

Yes, you can join the Merchant Navy if you clear your math from the NIOS. If you clear the IMU CET and eligibility, as NIOS math makes you eligible for PCM requirements for courses like BSc Nautical Science or Marine Engineering. But you'll need a good percentage in the PCM-E from either board to qualify for the officer cadet roles.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello aspirant,

You can join the Merchant Navy, as you have completed Mathematics from NIOS( National Institute of Open Schooling) which makes you an eligible candidate to pursue officer-level roles like Deck or Engine side. However, you must meet the desirable requirements like age and percentage set by the Directorate General of Shipping( DGS).

In order to join as an officer, you must fulfill certain criteria:

1. Subjects: You must have physics, chemistry and mathematics in your class 12th. Since you mentioned mathematics through NIOS, it will be considered.
2. Minimum-Marks: Most of the top-tier institutes and IMU-CET require an average of at least 60% in PCM.
3. English: You must have a score of at least 50% percent in English in either class 10 or 12.
4. Fitness: You must be physically fit, and for the Deck department a 6\6 eyesight( without glasses) is mandatory.

The rest depends on your interest and you have two choices mentioned above.

I hope the information provided is useful.

Thankyou.
