By ugeshji, Section Ask Questions
Q. Is the post of a Sailor in the Indian Navy that of an officer rank? How are they recruited?
A.The Indian Navy has kept pace with advanced technologies and operates and maintains highly sophisticated ships, submarines and aircraft. The propulsion machinery, weapons, sensors and equipment on board these weapon platforms are operated and maintained by sailors, who are trained on an ongoing basis. Sailors are recruited twice a year under five categories: (a) Artificer Apprentice, (b) Direct Entry Diploma Holders, (c) Matric Recruit, (d) Musician, (e) Non-Matric Recruit. The Initial basic training is followed by further training at various naval establishments across the country. Selected sailors are also sent abroad for training in specific disciplines. Prior to release from service, sailors are also given pre-release courses to enable them to settle down in civil life. As a Sailor in the Indian Navy you must be prepared to serve anywhere in India, on board ships and submarines or even abroad.

While the post of a Sailor is not of Officer rank to begin with (although the term "sailor" is loosely used for anyone in a shipping job). However, there are several opportunities for promotion to the rank of a Commissioned Officer. This, of course, will depend on your performance as a sailor and upon clearing the prescribed exams within the stipulated age limit.
Incidentally, all officers of the Indian Navy will be engineers after 2013 and will pass out with a four-year B.Tech degree. Instead of graduates or postgraduates, engineering graduates will be recruited for Permanent or Short Service Commission. Being a technical service, it is mandatory for all Indian Navy personnel to be adequately qualified to handle the complex and sophisticated new equipment that is being used. The idea is to have a branchless Navy, so that qualification-wise everyone is on the same platform. Later, it will be up to the individual to perform and specialise in a branch or even change the branch. Everyone will have an opportunity to take up command of a ship or fleet. Other branches in the Navy besides engineering and electrical, are executive, law, logistics, naval armament, inspection, education and air traffic control.
