Which MMD is best for 2nd mate orals, for B.Sc. Cadet?
I have done B.Sc.Nautical Sciences and completed my cadetship(12months).I am doing courses at mumbai. Will be finishing by mid august.
Just wanted to know which MMD is best for 2nd mate orals for a degree cadet.
Im unaware of present situation at different MMDs. but 2years back came to know through a senior that there were some restrictions for degree cadets at Delhi MMD.
I am confused between Mumbai n Delhi MMD.Needed info about these two MMDs, what is the present scenario and what all documents are required? Procedure for assessment and booking dates for orals?
Please help.
(Also let me know the other better options.)

0 I want to know what is the requirement about TRB. I didnt get one from the institute or comany. So bought one on my own, Have got signatures of master n C/O.There were some questions mentioned at the back of TRB as project. I dont have them in fair. Will it be required to be submitted alongwith TRB? Also my TRB didnt contain any certificate of watchkeeping, So i got xerox of watchkeeping certificate from IMU TRB of a fellow DNS cadet. Will it be valid?
Really tensed.Hope my queries are answered soon... - X
1 @Preetam90 initially Delhi MMD were not entertaining 3 Yrs Bsc but later they started Oral exams for them (this I think was some 2-3 years ago) anyways I think you can go to any MMD if your confusion is just about 3 Yrs Bsc.
However MMD Delhi has limited seat and the waiting period for repeaters is long enough to frustrate any Cadet ! So MMD Mumbai is better with less waiting time for repeaters (read passing exams unless You are confident to clear in one shot). For other details about assessment etc. its better to contact the cadets going to respective MMD as each MMD has its own bizarre procedures, I am unaware of ! Of course would request you to share your experience (would help others like you).
For 3 Yrs Bsc strictly speaking TRB was not required. Still some company give them company specific TRB to complete. These TRB are just a check to measure your learning process. While some MMD are strict about it, some are not ! I think what you did till now is OK do not worry about TRB. When they ask for it then submit whatever you have done till date. If they are scrutinizing it admit to them that the company/college never provided TRB for 3 Yrs Bsc and you took efforts on your own to collect & do whatever you have done. Your watch-keeping certificates however are mandatory and do get your Watch-keeping duly signed by Master and also separate Company letter for Sea-time done on their Manned ship (on companies letter head with RPSL number). Best of luck for your exams and do not forget to enjoy your vacations too ;-) - X
0 Thanks!
Actually, i had tried to get info about assessment procedures from some of the cadets doing courses with me, but most of them are DNS cadets.Their requirements are a bit different as they have functions,writtens,DLP and SSTP.I know some of my batch-mates but most of them are appearing at Kolkata and Kandla. None of them could give me correct info about Delhi or Mumbai MMD.
Anyway, once i find out and go through the procedures, i would definitely share it on this forum. I am a newbie on this site. But found it very helpful and with the guidance of experienced seniors like u, i think our sailing to the zenith of our career would b a smooth one.
As far as vacations are concerned,after cadetship I have already spent a quality time with my family and enjoyed a lot...Time for studies now :)
