Need Guidance from the Indian Merchant Navy Community

Hello everyone,

I'm an 18-year-old guy currently in class 12th (PCM, CBSE), and I'm aiming to join the Merchant Navy as my career. I want to pursue DNS (Diploma in Nautical Science). My situation is a bit complicated, and I need some advice and guidance from those who have experience in this field.

Here's my current status: - I'm an average student, preparing for my 12th boards.

  • I'm planning to get sponsorship for DNS from reputable companies like Torm, Synergy, Anglo, or any other good companies. Torm seems like the best option for me.

  • I also wear specs, but they are for migraines and headaches, not for vision issues.

I really need your guidance on the following:

  1. What should I study to prepare for the DNS entrance exams? And interviews and imucet .

  2. Which study materials or resources would you recommend?

  3. How should I go about applying for sponsorship from good companies?

  4. Will my medical conditions (ADHD, OCD, being overweight, wearing specs) affect my chances of joining the Merchant Navy?

Thank you in advance!
