Yes you are eligible to appear for Merchant Navy without belonging to the Science stream. But do keep in mind, that this is only when you want to be a 'rating' and not an officer.

To become an officer, you will have to have Maths and Physics in your background specifically. And for 'rating' eligibility, you need to pass class 10th.

General Purpose 'Ratings' can choose to work in the Deck Department or the Engine Department.

Good luck!
