MARINE COLLEGE

Admission:

There was this senior of mine, Himanshu Joshi. Basically he was my classmate, but for some reasons I had to repeat my 11th standard so he became my senior. So during my 12th boards exams. He was the one who guided me. He told me to fill different forms and one of those was for merchant navy. As I was not interested in engineering and my friend Himanshu Joshi did the same course and through his guidance so it became easy for me to crack those entrance exams so I chose merchant navy as my carrier and its been 6 years since I passed out of my college and now presently and holding a ranking of 3rd officer on a merchant vessel.
