Hello Vijay!

To become a Merchant Navy, a girl needs to fulfill at least the following medical fitness criteria :-
1. Height : 145 cm
2. Weight : 39 kg
* Weight should be proportionate to the height and age of the candidate.

3. Physically fit body with no respiratory, cardiac, gastrointestinal, genitourinary or skeletal disorders.
Systolic blood pressure should not exceed 150mm of Hg nor Diastolic above 90mm of Hg. Well functional ears, nose and throat.

4. Excellent mental fitness with no past records of any psychic disorders.

5. Fluent speech without any stammering.

6. Good binocular vision is required and vision in each eye should be 6/12 or a combination of 6/9 in one and 6/18 in the other eye. Colour vision should not be defective. Normal (6/6) vision is preferred.

Remember that the candidate will need thorough approval of medical fitness by the medical board. One will have to go for some clinical tests like Complete Blood Count, Blood Sugar, X-ray of chest, Routine Urine etc.

All these include some of the factors to consider.
Hope you will find this answer helpful.
