Hello sir! I have completed my Diploma in electrical and communication engineering. Now how can I join the merchant navy as ETO?

To join the Merchant Navy as an Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) after completing your Diploma in Electrical and Communication Engineering, you need to meet certain eligibility criteria and undergo specific training. Here are the steps that you can follow to become an ETO in the Merchant Navy: Meet the eligibility criteria: You need to have a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in your Diploma in Electrical and Communication Engineering. You also need to be between 17.5 to 25 years of age, physically fit and have a good command of the English language. Complete the STCW course: The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) course is mandatory for all seafarers. You need to complete the STCW courses such as Basic Training (Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting, Personal Survival Techniques, Elementary First Aid, Personal Safety and Social Responsibility), and proficiency in Designated Security Duties. Obtain CDC: You need to apply for a Continuous Discharge Certificate (CDC) from the Directorate General of Shipping. The CDC is an essential document that authorizes you to work on board a ship. Join a maritime training institute: You need to enroll in a maritime training institute approved by the Directorate General of Shipping, where you can undergo the Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) course. This course covers technical aspects of marine electrical and electronic equipment, power management systems, automation systems, and electrical safety on board a ship. Obtain ETO Certificate of Competency: After completing the ETO course, you need to pass the examination conducted by the Directorate General of Shipping to obtain the ETO Certificate of Competency. Apply for jobs: Once you obtain the ETO Certificate of Competency, you can apply for jobs in various shipping companies. I hope this helps. Good luck with your career in the Merchant Navy!
