How to Check MMD Exam Results Online — 2026 Guide (New DGMA System)
You appeared for your MEO Class 4, 2nd Mate, Chief Mate, or Master examination at one of India’s MMDs (Mercantile Marine Departments). Now you’re waiting for results. Where do you look?
The old system has changed. As of 2026, all examination results are published through the new DGMA Examination Module launched under DGS Circular 21 of 2026. Here’s exactly how to find your results.
The New DGMA Examination System (2026 Update)
DGMA Circular 21 of 2026 launched a completely new online examination module for all Merchant Navy officer CoC examinations. Key changes:
- All CoC exam applications, results, and certification are now through this new module
- Historical data from the old system is being migrated — some older results may temporarily not be visible
- The new system is hosted under the e-Samudra portal at dgma.gov.in
If your results are not showing: This is possibly due to the ongoing data migration from the old system. Do not panic. Contact your jurisdictional MMD directly.

Understanding Your Result
Pass: You have cleared this paper/stage. Proceed with documentation for CoC issue or next stage as applicable.
Fail: You did not clear this paper. Note the remarks if any. You can reappear in the next scheduled examination. Understand there is no limitation on the number of attempts, but each attempt requires fresh application and fee.
Detained: You have not met the minimum marks requirement in one or more papers but are not required to reappear for all. Specific detained papers must be cleared. (Terminology varies — check your specific examination regulations.)
Under Review / Result Withheld: Your result is under administrative review. Do not assume the worst — this can be for clerical reasons. Contact your MMD’s Principal Officer’s office for clarification.
