Is merchant navy as a career a good option for a girl?
I am a travel freak & want to travel the world. Also, I want to do something for the country but is not sure if I should or not pursue merchant navy as I have heard that it has now become very difficult to get a job in a good company. Also, I am doubtful about height and weight requirements.

Hi Shruti,
Of course, it is a good career option. It is a very rewarding field and lets you travel the entire world. Although, the field is highly men dominated. But gradually women are also coming forward to be a part of this industry. You must have heard about Radhika Menon; India's first merchant navy captain. You must take inspiration from her life. As far as the physical requirements are concerned, these are the standards:
1. Eye Sight = 6/6,
2. Height = 167 cms,
3. Weight = 50 Kg
4. Chest = 77 cm (Normal) / 82 cm (Expanding)
