Respected Anish sir,

First of all I would like to thank you for ur impressive replies to the questions posed.
I have been gone through the all of ur comments and posts of past 3 years and find them much satisfactory.
i have completed my graduation in Electrical Engineering and willing to join Merchant Navy.
So I need clarification on the following queries.

1> As i am from electrical background is it true that the only marine course valid for me is an ETO course?
2>How is the career path of an ETO?
3>Can i become a master / pilot by going through any sort of examinations or my career will end up only as an ETO?
4>What could be the highest pay scale of an ETO ?
5>Does ETO is equivalent to Chief Engineer?
6>The General on board duration contract of an ETO?
7>Does An ETO is a deck cadet or an engine cadet?
8>Minimum years of experience required to become a captain?
9>Do The Great Eastern provides 100% job assurance?
10>Is it worthful to invest 4.5 lacs for the course of ETO?
11>Do the companies pay during holidays for pilot or officers?
12>This one is a bit out of context but too
which is the best career option aviation or merchant navy?

Thank You,
Nehal Ahmed

In reply to manish chhetri. @Manish: I have seen captains >60years. It all depends on your fitness and ability to clear all the medical examinations which will be done before joining a ship

Hello Sir, I want to do BSC NS from Tolani Maritime Institute, pune. Is it a good college for placements?
And sir one more, suppose if we are placed in a company during placements, so do I have to pay fees for the training (I think it is called Pre-sea training)?
