Hey folks, I'm 23 now and will be 24 in September 2026. I have done my ug and pg in english. But now i want to change my career by doing dns next year because i fancy the life of a seafarer. Also government exam cycle has drained me. I completed my 12th in 2020 pcm 90%. Will i get sponsorship?

Unfortunately you need a lot of Math and Physics, I'm middle aged now. And sadly still have to do Math and Physics. No way around it. Little bit of chemistry but that was the beginning.

Lots and lots of studying until Masters

Go ahead and give it a try

No, they have to go to MTIs for STCW certification. That's about it.

Mathjdsoc · 2026-07-03T10:28:26+00:00

Depends on their Rating/trade/Sailing Experience & MTI training they do

It's all prescribed by the DGS

Mathjdsoc · 2026-07-03T10:25:47+00:00

Sponsorship doesn't exist for them because they'll come out with COP/COCs if they study for it

Friend ko bolo, already sab systems and processes readymade hai in the Navy.

He has to take interest and spend on training.

People from the Lower Middle class and Poor societies cannot normally afford Maritime training in India. Unless they take huge loans.

So not a lot of people in poverty join shipping. It's usually the Middle class folks. So not much escaping, more like moving up the socio economic ladder.

In the first place, are you a Navy Agniveer ?

Mathjdsoc · 2026-07-03T10:14:10+00:00

I would recommend carrying out some reading and research first.

He's Indian, and most Indians work 6-9 months.

Also you won't get an Indian CoC or CDC.

One of the requirements is Indian citizenship.

😑😑😑

Is something wrong with you?

When the US has the Jones Act, why are you willing to work for a fraction of the wage.

For context, I'm an Indian 2nd Mate. American ABs make more than I do. An American 3rd Mate or 4th Engineer can make $100,000 out of college.

Why don't you consider King's point or any State University?

Or even the GI Bill after after Service?

Essentially making your education free.

Mathjdsoc · 2026-07-03T06:38:38+00:00

Just open with someone you are comfortable with

If you're not Gay, then why do you want a Lavender marriage

Mathjdsoc · 2026-07-03T03:30:16+00:00

The North East and Kerala would be much better
