A 25–30 minute 1-on-1 call with Suraj Mande to assess your qualification, budget, age, and tim
This is not a webinar. Not a group session. Not a counsellor. 1:1 with Suraj — the same man who spent ten years on ships. There are only so many hours in his week. 4 calls left this week.
You are 18–40, working in a hotel, a kitchen, hospitality or aviation, and you want a cruise ship contract instead of the salary you are on now.
You are a B.Tech or diploma engineer - Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics - and nobody has ever told you that your degree is a legitimate door onto a ship.
You have attempted IMU-CET once and did not clear it, and you cannot tell whether to repeat it or take a different route entirely.
You have a GP Rating certificate — or you are about to pay for one — and you want to know honestly whether a ship follows the paper.
You are 17–28, you have finished 10th or 12th (PCM or otherwise), and “merchant navy” is a word you keep hearing but nobody in your family can explain.
You are the father, mother or elder brother about to release ₹2–5 lakh, and you want one honest conversation before the money moves.
You want a guaranteed job. Nobody honest can sell you that, and this page will not pretend otherwise. What you get is the route, the paperwork and the preparation.
You want Suraj to place you on a ship. He is a coach and a trainer, not a recruitment or placement agent, and he takes no money for any job.
You want the shortcut where money replaces eligibility. There isn’t one, and anyone selling you one is inside the ten percent.
You want a certificate you can hang up rather than a route you have to walk. The certificate is not the destination. The contract is.
You are not willing to hear “this is the wrong route for you.” That sentence gets said on this call when it is true.
You want the fees back after the call because you didn’t like the answer. If you learned nothing, say so and the ₹9 is returned — but the truth is not always the answer you wanted.
Whether you are a 12th PCM student, an Electronics engineer, an IMU-CET repeater, a GP Rating aspirant, a hotel steward or a chef — if you are serious about a sea career and you want the real map before you spend real money, this call was built for you.
Agents ask for ₹25,000 upfront. Suraj asks for ₹9 — and the ₹9 exists only so that the people on his calendar are serious. 4 calls left this week.
It is not your marks. Not your English. Not your family’s background.
Here is what is really holding you where you are:

You cannot tell the real ones from the fakes
Ninety percent of the people selling to you are genuinely from this industry. Around ten percent are frauds wearing the exact same uniform of credibility - same ship photos, same salary screenshots, same confident voice. You have no way to separate them. So you do the only thing left: you scroll, you save the reel, and you do nothing. Another month goes.

The ₹25,000 “registration fee” that buys nothing
Someone has already asked you for it. You didn’t send it. You also didn’t refuse. You are frozen between two fears — losing ₹25,000 to a fraud, or losing the one real opportunity because you were too suspicious.

You are about to walk through the wrong door
Most students who lose two years do not lose them by failing. They lose them by choosing the wrong entry route for their marks, their degree, their age and their budget — and finding out eighteen months later. Cruise, merchant navy, IMU-CET, DNS, GP Rating, the engineer’s route: six different doors, and the man selling you one is paid to recommend that one.

“Certificate mil gaya, ship nahi mila”
This is the most common sentence in this industry and the most expensive. Boys are rejected on documents, not on merit — wrong order, wrong timing, one certificate missing, a medical done too early, an INDoS number applied for too late.

Nobody in your house has the answer — and the money is theirs
You ask your father. Your father asks his friend. His friend’s nephew “went through some agency in Delhi.” Nobody actually knows anything, and meanwhile the decision sits on the man who has one shot with this money and knows it: “If I choose wrong, my son loses two years and I lose my retirement.”
Peers who chose engineering are already earning. Your younger brother is being told merchant navy is all fraud, and if you fail, that becomes family policy for the next generation.
Nobody runs a ₹9 con. The price is the proof. 4 calls left this week.
25–30 minutes. 1:1 with Suraj Mande. Zero fluff, zero brochure, zero counsellor.
In this call, we will:

Decide Your Route — In The First Ten Minutes
Your qualification (10th, 12th PCM, diploma, B.Tech, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, hotel management, culinary), your age, your family’s budget and your timeline go in. One route comes out: Cruise Ship, Merchant Navy, or GP Rating. Not a menu. One door, and the reason it is that one. If you are an engineer, there is a door most people never told you about.

Run The Fraud Filter — Live, On Your Phone
Bring the name of any institute, academy or agent who has approached you. On the call you will be shown how to check approval and standing yourself, from official public records, in about three minutes. You do not have to take Suraj’s word for who is real. You learn to check - and after this call, that ten percent can never touch you again.

Audit Your Documents And Their Sequence
INDoS, CDC, passport, medical, STCW — and for cruise, recruiter registration and contract paperwork. What you need, in what order, what each one costs, and how long each one actually takes. Most rejections happen here. Yours will not.

Get The Real Money Number — End To End
What this path genuinely costs from today to boarding, including the parts nobody itemises. And just as importantly: the payments you should never make, to anyone, under any name.

Put Your Plan Against The Real Calendar
Cruise recruitment intakes and IMU-CET registration close on fixed dates. Document processing runs 8–10 weeks. Your dates get mapped against those dates, so you can see exactly what “I’ll think about it for a month” costs you.

Hear The Honest Verdict — Including “No”
Every claim made to you gets tested the same way on this call: is the need real, is the urgency real, is it easy enough for you to do, does it actually work, where is the proof, and is the person honest about their own incentive.
The Sailor Who Tells You The Truth The Institutes Won’t
10+ Years
At sea. Not visiting ships. Working on them.
150+
On ships right now. Callable.
Suraj Mande spent ten years at sea before he ever taught anybody anything. He is not a counsellor who read the syllabus, and he is not a former agent who found a new script. He is a man who did the job, came back obsessed with the industry, and started answering the questions nobody had answered for him.
Most of his competition also comes from a shipping background. That is not the difference. The difference is the business model: they run institutes that make money by keeping you enrolled for twelve months. Suraj makes money in two days. Same background. Opposite incentive.
He has seen exactly what every stuck aspirant goes through:
❌ The boy who paid ₹25,000 as an “agent registration fee” and never got a reply to a single message after it cleared.
❌ The father who mortgaged gold for a ₹2 lakh institute fee, and whose son finished the course with a certificate and no sponsorship.
❌ The Electronics engineer working an ₹18,000 job who had never once been told his degree was a sea-entry route.
❌ The GP Rating holder sitting at home eleven months after his certificate was printed, still waiting for the ship somebody promised came with it.

STAGE 1 — DECIDE
The Route Map. Your exact entry route chosen on evidence: marks, degree, age, budget, timeline. Cruise Ship — hospitality, culinary, technical, engineer roles. Merchant Navy — IMU-CET, DNS, B.Tech Marine, the Electrical/Electronics route. Or GP Rating.
The Scam Shield. The genuine list, the red flags, and how to verify approval and standing yourself, from public official records, in three minutes.

STAGE 2 — PREPARE
The Paperwork Pack. Every document in order — INDoS, CDC, passport, medical, STCW, plus cruise recruiter registration and contract paperwork — with the real cost and real timeline against each one.
The Syllabus + Recorded Vault. The complete syllabus for your chosen track, high-yield topics, and recorded modules you keep for life and watch as many times as you need. Updated when the rules change.

STAGE 3 — PRESENT & SAIL
The Interview Room. The actual questions, the answers that get selected, grooming, body language, and what a panel or a cruise recruiter is really testing. Cruise interviews and merchant navy panels test different things; you are prepared for the one you are facing.
The 90-Day Embarkation Plan. A dated, week-by-week plan from today to application — plus ninety days of WhatsApp support from Suraj directly, not a support desk. Along with it: access to the alumni group of students currently sailing, the interview question bank, and a briefing call where Suraj speaks to your father in Hindi or Marathi and answers every fear he has.
Nothing is sold on this page. There are no prices here, no card details beyond the ₹9, and nothing to buy. If the blueprint is right for you, it gets discussed on the call — and only if the call shows it fits.
Hurry — only 3 spots remaining this week.
Eight students per batch on the blueprint. Not a marketing line — for ninety days afterwards Suraj is personally on WhatsApp with each of them, and nine would make him a liar about the support.
That is why the ₹9 call exists. It is not a sales trap and it is not a webinar. It is thirty minutes to find out whether you are one of the people he can actually get results for — and to tell you plainly if you are not.
So here is what I want you to do right now.
Hurry — only 3 spots remaining this week.
Choose your exact route — Cruise, Merchant Navy -from your marks, degree, age, budget and timeline
Run the fraud filter on any institute or agent who has approached you, live, from public records
Lay out every document you need, in sequence, with real costs and real timelines
Give you the real end-to-end money number, and the payments you must never make
Put your plan against the actual intake and registration calendar
You walk away with a complete scaling strategy regardless. And if you qualify — we become your partner. And sky is the limit.
