First Mate of Foreign Going Ship Phase 1 Summary The 2024 Phase I examination for First Mate (Foreign Going) presented a diverse range of outcomes across maritime training institutes. While academic subjects such as Meteorology continued to yield high success rates, operational areas like Cargo Handling and ARC Navigation saw mixed performance. Institutes like SHAPE Panchkula and Applied Research New Delhi showcased consistent performance across all subjects, while a few others struggled to maintain uniform results across both academic and practical modules. Overall, this phase highlighted both excellence in specialized instruction and noticeable disparities in foundational areas across institutes. Top-Performing Maritime Academies 72.40% 71.76% 69.93% School Of Higher Academic And Professional Applied Research FOSMA – Kolkata Education (Shape)( PANCHKULA) International – New Delhi 68.31% 66.39% FOSMA – Noida Euro Tech Maritime Academy – Cochin While all five institutes secured high overall averages, the patterns of strength varied. SHAPE Panchkula displayed well-rounded results, with pass rates consistently above 85% in Meteorology, Ship Operation, and Cargo Handling. Applied Research New Delhi mirrored this balance but slightly lagged in Cargo subjects. FOSMA Kolkata and Noida demonstrated strong theoretical grounding, particularly in Meteorology (over 85%), yet showed dips in Cargo and Navigation Application papers. Meanwhile, Euro Tech Cochin stood out for its uniformity across the board, maintaining solid mid- to high-range pass percentages without sharp fluctuations — a mark of steady, if not standout, subject delivery. Key Highlights Naval Architecture Paper–1 showed a distinct variation in pass rates, ranging from 33.3% to 72.93% across institutions. IMER Patna and IMU Mumbai recorded average scores below 55%, highlighting a notable gap in overall student outcomes. 30 STCW report 2024First Mate of Foreign Going Ship Phase 1 Institute wise candidates exam result for First Mate of Foreign Going Ship Phase I for the period (Jan -
