Section 69 in The Merchant Shipping (Examination Of Engineers In The Merchant) Navy Rules, 1963
69. Examination for Extra First Class Certificate.
- The examination for Extra First Class Certificate covers the syllabuses for the First Class and Second Class examinations, and also that given in Appendix 'D'. It is divided into two separate parts, 'A' and 'B'. No exemption from any of the subjects covered by the examination is granted.Candidates will be permitted either to take the whole of the examination at one time, or to take the two Parts at separate examinations, in which case a candidate must first pass in Part 'A' to qualify for entrance to Part 'B'. On the other hand, a candidate who chooses to take the whole examination at one time and passes only in Part 'B' will be eligible to sit for Part 'A' at any future examination and will be exempt from further examination in Part 'B'.Candidates must obtain a minimum number of marks in each paper, and not less than 60 per cent. of the total marks throughout the examination, either for the full certificate or for Part 'A' or 'B' if taken separately. No certificate will be issued until the candidate has passed both Parts of the examination.
