Selection Process
Selection happens in two stages. In Stage I, you will take the INET (Indian Navy Entrance Test) online -- a computer-based exam with 100 MCQs in 60 minutes. If you clear this, you move to Stage II which includes a Physical Fitness Test (running, squats, push-ups, sit-ups), another written exam, and a recruitment medical examination. Shortlisting for Stage II is done state-wise, so cut-offs may differ from state to state.
Preparation Tips for Indian Navy INET 2026 Exam
- Know the four sections -- English, Science, Mathematics, and General Awareness. You must pass each section individually and in aggregate.
- Stick to the 10+2 standard -- the syllabus is based on Class 12 level, so your NCERT textbooks are your best resource.
- Watch out for negative marking -- every wrong answer costs you 0.25 marks, so avoid random guessing.
- Practice time management -- you get just 60 minutes for 100 questions, which is roughly 36 seconds per question.
- Download sample papers from the official website joinindiannavy.gov.in to understand the question pattern.
- Stay physically fit -- Stage II has a mandatory PFT. Start running and doing push-ups, squats, and sit-ups well in advance.
Responsibilities
- Serve aboard warships including aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates, and submarines
- Perform trade-specific duties based on branch allocation (SSR: technical work; MR: catering, housekeeping, hygiene; SSR Medical: nursing and medical stores management)
