DeleteHi sir..do v need to attest docs as given by class 1 off.?? From where I get it done I mean from where I get class 1 off to attest my docs.
DeleteThank you so much Sir, your instructions were spot on and i obtained my ceertificate yesterday. It took me just 5 minutes to apply for the certificate since i was well prepared with all the documents listed. ALso would like to mention if yu can put in your blog the university office is also open on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month. Once again thank you and GOD BLESS you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your good comments and it definitely feels good that this helped you. I will sure update the Saturday timings. Thanks again for update.
DeleteSir, thanks for your valuable information. But i have one more query about the application form and that is do we need to mention some post graduation course which we likely to do, to obtain equivalency certificate as it looks like from the application form.
ReplyDeleteYou can fill any PG program offered by Mumbai university... e.g. MBA, etc. You don't really have to take admission in that program.
DeleteGOOD DAY SIR , I AM DOING MY MASTER F.G. AND AFTER I THAT I WANT TO APPEAR FOR UPSC . AM I ELIGIBLE FOR UPSC WITH THIS EQUIVALENT CERTIFICATE. HAS SOMEBODY TRIED TO GET CONFIRMATION FROM UPSC AUTHORITIES THAT THIS EQUIVALENT CERTIFICATE FULFILLS ELIGIBILITY FOR GRADUATION IN UPSC .... PLS DO REPLY.
ReplyDeleteYes this certificate is eligible for UPSC and this has been successfully verified by my colleagues.
DeleteCan i get this cert as my Master cert is expired and due for revalidation.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am not very sure, but usually an expired certificate is not accepted for anything anywhere.....
DeleteHI Gaurav,
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that UK COC are accepted. The guys at the Uni did not have a clue about this when I applied back in 2007.
Yes now I am sure that UK CoC is accepted. One of my friend has successfully got it done.
DeleteCan anyone share procedure to get the degree with UK master COC?
Deletehi gaurav, may thanks for the info, just need to ask if singapore coc MAster (fg) will be considered as well
ReplyDeleteNot sure about this...but they should be accepting any valid Master's CoC.. If at all you try for this certificate, please update me with the result as this will help others in future.
Deletesir,
ReplyDeletedo you have any idea about COC for chief engineers? where to get the letter or how to?
I think this should be valid for CE CoC as well but mostly CEs are either Mechanical Engineering Graduates or Marine Engineering Graduates, so why would a Chief engineer need a Certificate of Equivalence when he is already a full time graduate.
DeleteHello Capt. Gaurav,
DeleteI hold UK Chief Engineer CoC. My last qualification was Higher National diploma in Mechanical engg from UK.
Is my UK coc also eligible for letter of equivalency?
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Warm regards
Darpan Gupta
Mr.Gaurav,pls advise this equivalent certificate is valid till MASTER COC vaild or remain forever valid.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI've obtained the equivalence certificate and now in the admission process for a PGPX at IIM(A). The admission guys want to know if there were any announcements/circulars from DG shipping saying that this certificate will be issued to candidates with a masters COC. If you could dig that out for me itll be of much help
Thanks
Hi Siddarth
DeleteIts too late a reply and by this time you must have passed out from IIM also.
Just a query did you find any reference from DG shipping regarding this letter.
As far as I understand, Mumbai university conducts BSc Nautical Science course on a regular basis and considering the subjects and quality of studies we have to undergo for the Master's CoC they must have extended the accreditation of the CoC as equivalent of their degree.
Thanks
Gaurav
please tell me do mumbai university also gives degree equivalent to class 1 U.K CoC in marine engineering ?
ReplyDeleteHi - I've hear that this has now been upgraded and Master's CoC is now equivalent to Msc Naut. Science - any truth in this?
ReplyDeleteCould you pls add in your blog that copies of all certificate has to attested by class 1 govt officer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info.
DeleteThis was not a requirement at the time I got my letter.
Sir first of all thank you very much for those information. If u don't mind could you please tell me whether this" Letter of Equivalency of BSc. Nautical science Degree" is given to international students who have obtained Masters from U.K.
ReplyDeleteSorry Damith I am not really sure whether the facility is extended to international students or not.
DeleteIGNOU does not recognizes this equivalent degree.
ReplyDeleteThanks Capt. Manish for the info
DeleteSir do they give such equivalent degree to chief engineer CoC holders?
ReplyDeleteI like the valuable information you provide in your articles.

ReplyDeleteDear Gourav
ReplyDeleteI paid 5 lacs to a reputed institution for my son ater his 12th (85%)to do be deck cadet employment n further his career in the same company to become Captain . He got his DNS n did his two times 9 month on board. Now he says he is no more interested in sea borne job .Please advise as how he can complete his degree by using DNS in any subject from any institute . What will be the best option for him as he is more into writing music and art etc.Kindly call me 91 9843134420
Hi,
DeletePretty difficult for these generation youngsters to pursue career at sea.
I suggest not to force him for sea career as it would be difficult in future esp after marriage etc in which he would regret.
From the DNS degree I presume that there was no one to advice / guide in proper direction.
Still he got time to switch over to some shore job.
Give some time to him and let him decide, be patient.
Things will fall in slot, right now proper guidance is required.
Master(NCV) coc can get the degree or not?
ReplyDeleteYes,
DeleteThey require masters license issued either by Indian / U.K. Administration.
You can phone up and enquire.
Best would be to personally meet them.
All da best.
HI Gaurav, Any update on the issue of getting degree against Master COC from singapore. I saw some asked about the same before but no confirmation yet.
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeletePlease note the updated requirements and info w.r.t. B. Sc. (Nautical):
1. Self attested copies are required and NOT Gazetted Officer,
2. Only Indian and U.K. COCs are considered and no other COCs are considered.
3. From CDC, take some copies of sea time also,
4. Ideally reach by 11:00 with all the above mentioned copies and get verified by the concerned University staff and then proceed for fee payment.
Procedure is simple and pretty fast.
I recommend all guys to get their Bsc certificates, at some stage it may be helpful.
All the best.

A Master Marine does not have 10+2 certificate, will he be able to get BSC nautical certificate? If no. Then what certificate will he be awarded?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI would like to know if this equivalency certificate can be considered as a bachelor's degree for Canada immigration?
Thanks in advance
I would like to thank Capt. Gaurav Chaturvedi for the detailed information given to obtain the BSc Nautical equivalency certificate.
ReplyDeleteI would just like to add about the payment of the fees. Once the documents have been verified at Ambedkar Bhavan and a challan form for the fees is issued then proceed to Mahatma Phule Bhavan which is further down the road. Take a visitor pass at the gate and proceed to the 2nd Floor, Room No. 52 where the challan is stamped and signed. Then pay the fees of Rs. 5,000/- in cash on the ground floor at the Bank of Baroda counter. After paying the fees return to Ambedkar Bhavan and submit the documents and fees receipt. You will probably be called after about 2 hours to collect the certificate mainly due to lunch timings. Be polite and the staff will do your work faster.
All the best to all candidates.
Thanks once again.

Visited in Dec 2023. For UK coc they are checking the coc on coc checker for which it’s won’t show up as it’s issued by uk. They instructed me to update the same on dg shipping site. I did the same using e governance but it won’t show up. It’s obvious we have to check the validation of a coc on the respected coc issuing country site. My question is how do we get our uk coc to be attested by dg shipping ??
DeleteI am sure that this is going to help a lot of individuals. Keep up the good work. It is highly convincing and I enjoyed going through the entire blog. Cheers!
