Re: Navy for Female Candidate
Yes, you can join Navy after completing Mechanical Engineering even though being a female candidate. Presently, women officers are being inducted into the Law, Logistics, ATC, Observers (Aviation), Naval Architecture & Education Branch as Short Service Commission officers. Government has now approved Permanent Commission for women in Law, Education and Naval Architecture cadre. In the Navy, the Service all conditions are same for men and women officers both. The Navy is very gender insightful and gives equal opportunity to women. It offers almost all Branches to Women and let them compete with men on equal footing. At this point of time women are not allowed on ships as life on board ships is very harsh and puts different kind of stress and strain on an individual and the existing design of ships do not offer necessary facilities for women to live onboard for long durations and contribute in war fighting effort. However, it is not a final decision. But a time will come when women will be seen on ships. In the meantime, as a women officer, you do have the opportunity to contribute in support functions from ashore, which are equally challenging and exciting. Women are expected to maintain the same high standards of appearance as men. The only difference is that women are permitted to grow their hair longer, provided it is a style that is easy to maintain and meets certain regulations. There is no special status is conferred to women candidates and they compete with Short Service male candidates on open merit system. Vacancies are filled in the order of merit based on marks obtained in Services Selection Board. Women undergo the same training as men. However women have separate living quarters. |
