Age, PCM marks, English marks and colour vision. Eyesight for DNS and B.Sc. Nautical Science is published as unaided 6/6 and 6/9. Only a DG Shipping approved doctor can measure it, so it is not asked here. The BMI calculator below is a separate, optional note.

Separate from the IMU CET marks check. Enter height and weight. You get a BMI figure and the ordinary WHO band. This is not a DG Shipping medical and not a fit/unfit stamp. It is not used to decide whether you can send an enquiry.

We follow published IMU CET rules. If a rule is not published, we do not guess.
Minimum PCM aggregate: 60% in Class 12 (Physics + Chemistry + Mathematics combined average). For SC/ST candidates: 5% relaxation applies, making the minimum effective threshold 55%. For OBC-NCL and EWS candidates: No relaxation in PCM marks — the 60% threshold applies as for General category.
Minimum 50% marks in English in either Class 10 OR Class 12. No relaxation in English marks for any category — not SC, not ST, not OBC, not EWS. Exception: 5% relaxation in English marks applies only to native candidates of the Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar Islands belonging to recognized Scheduled Tribes of those islands.
The minimum age is 17 years and the maximum age is 25 years for General male candidates, calculated as on 01 August 2027. Female candidates in the General category can be up to 27 years. OBC-NCL candidates get a 3-year relaxation (28 years for males, 30 for females). SC/ST candidates can be up to 30 years (male) and 32 years (female).

Medical certificates must be issued by doctors approved by the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS), Mumbai. A certificate from a general physician or a government hospital is not sufficient — it must be from a DGS-approved medical examiner.
