Yes bro, with 63% in PCM, you can join Merchant Navy, but only if you meet other criteria too like:

• Minimum 60% in PCM (you’re eligible)

• Age below 25

• Pass medical and eye test

Apply for DNS or BSc Nautical Science courses after 12th.

Hello Ajit

With 63% in PCM in class 12th, you are eligible for merchant navy just make sure that your English marks are above 50% as the eligibility criteria is that PCM marks should be above 60% and English marks should be above 50%.

As you have 63% in PCM, you would be eligible if you have gotten more than 50% in English.
