DEFENCE SERVICES
Defence services offer excellent opportunities for young people interested in making a career in Army, Navy, and Air Force. Besides the remuneration and benefits that these degrees offer, the prestige and honour associated with them attracts the young with a sense of adventure and patriotism. The recruitment process and the training after that go on to create an enviable lifestyle, both personal and professional.

MERCHANT NAVY
Ships or vessels in the sailor's jargon that carry cargo or oil or passengers constitute the Merchant Navy. Indian Merchant Navy ships are operated by private and public sector shipping companies and manned by trained navigators, marine engineers and crews. Few professions can boast of high salary, allowance, duty-free perks and foreign travel at as early an age as a Merchant Navy crew. Jobs as shipping executives, harbor pilots, surveyors, port officials, etc, are open to ex-Merchant Navy personnel. A Merchant Navy aspirant must undergo a rigorous on-the-job course. They have to pass stipulated examinations to be promoted. The responsibility for training of personnel for the Indian merchant navy lies with the Government of India functioning through the Ministry of Surface Transport. Training institutions under the direct administrative control of Directorate General of Shipping have been established.
