Merchant Navy Medical Test — Kya Hota Hai? Complete Hindi Guide 2026
Merchant Navy mein join karne se pehle aapko ek comprehensive medical fitness examination paas karni hoti hai. Yeh DGS-approved doctor karta hai. Medical pass karna mandatory hai — without it, koi INDOS, koi CDC, koi CoC nahi milti.
Is guide mein: kya test hote hain, eligibility criteria kya hai, aur common questions ka jawab.
Medical Examination Kaun Karta Hai?
Sirf DGMA (DG Shipping) approved Medical Examiner hi valid certificate issue kar sakta hai. Approved doctors ki list: dgma.gov.in → Medical Examiners (128 approved doctors across India, updated March 2026).
Kisi bhi non-approved doctor ki certificate DGMA ke liye invalid hogi.
Medical Examination Mein Kya Hota Hai?
1. Vision (Aankhon Ki Jaanch)
Snellen Acuity Test:
| Department | Unaided Vision Requirement |
|---|---|
| Deck Officers (Navigation) | Better eye: 6/6; Worse eye: 6/24 minimum |
| Engine Officers | Better eye: 6/12 minimum |
| GP Ratings, TME | 6/12 generally acceptable |
Corrected Vision: Glasses/contact lenses se correction acceptable hai for most roles. Achha dikhna with correction = pass (company policies vary).
Colour Vision (Rang Dekhne Ki Kshamata):
- Deck officers ke liye: Mandatory — Ishihara plates + Lantern test
- Colour blindness = Deck officer career mein completely out (koi exception nahi)
- Engine officers ke liye: Mild colour deficiency acceptable in some cases if functional test passed
2. Hearing (Sunne Ki Kshamata)
Conversation hearing normally adequate hona chahiye. Significant hearing loss disqualifying ho sakta hai especially for navigation roles.
3. Blood Pressure
Normal range mein honi chahiye. Controlled hypertension (medication par) typically acceptable lekin company-specific hai.
4. Height aur Weight
Koi strict height requirement nahi hai merchant navy mein majority companies ke liye. Body Mass Index (BMI) normal range mein hona advisable hai. Extreme obesity functional fitness concerns raise kar sakti hai.
5. Blood Tests
- Blood group
- Haemoglobin levels
- Glucose (diabetes screening)
- Hepatitis B & C
- HIV (in some cases, company-specific)
6. Chest X-Ray
Pulmonary conditions (TB, significant respiratory issues) ke liye screening.
7. Urine Test
Kidney function, glucose, protein — routine urinalysis.
8. Physical Examination
General physical condition assessment — musculoskeletal issues, skin conditions, any obvious physical disabilities that would affect ship duties.
Medical Certificate Validity
- Typically 2 years from date of examination
- After initial issue, periodic renewal required before every few contracts
- Companies may require fresh medical before each joining
Common Medical Reasons for Rejection
| Condition | Impact |
|---|---|
| Colour blindness | Deck department = disqualified |
| Severe uncorrected vision loss | Potentially disqualifying |
| Uncontrolled diabetes/hypertension | Disqualifying until controlled |
| Active TB | Disqualifying until treated |
| Serious cardiac conditions | Case-by-case assessment |
| Drug use (detected in blood/urine) | Disqualifying |
Lasik Surgery Ka Kya?
Lasik-corrected vision DGMA aur most companies ke liye acceptable hai provided:
- Surgery kam se kam 6–12 months pehle hui ho (stability required)
- Post-surgery vision required standard meet karta ho
- Koi significant complications nahi (dry eye, halos affecting function)
Unstable myopia par Lasik mat karwao — pehle stabilization zaroor.
Medical Examination Ki Fees
Government hospitals ya AHO (Airport Health Organisation) centers par: approximately ₹300–₹1,500. Private approved clinics par: ₹3,000–₹8,000. Fees vary by location aur doctor.

Aksar Pooche Jaane Wale Sawal
Q: Colour blind hoon — kya Merchant Navy mein join ho sakta hoon?
A: Deck officer role (navigation) mein nahi. Engine department mein mild colour deficiency ke saath chance hai agar functional test pass ho. GP Rating ya Engine side explore karein.
Q: Glasses pehanta/pehanti hoon — kya problem hogi?
A: Generally nahi. Corrected vision acceptable hai most roles mein. Unaided vision limits department-specific hoti hain.
Q: Agar medical fail ho gayi toh kya hoga?
A: Kuch conditions temporary hain (controlled BP, treated TB). Recover karke dobara medical dene ka option hota hai. Permanent conditions ke liye alternative paths explore karein.
