Who We Are?

Rife Consultancy is a platform for students who aspire to join Merchant Navy in India. We are a team that exists for you to make a career on the seas on your own terms.

What we do?

We teach
We understand that preparing for IMU-CET entrance exams, sponsorship exams, and interviews can be difficult and a bit confusing. Which is why we have created small and easy-to-learn video classes for you to learn and prepare at your own pace.
We mentor
We don’t believe in the concept of hiring subject teachers. We are industry experts – a group of marine officers who have experienced the rough seas and conquered them; now here to help you make a successful career in Indian Merchant Navy.
We spread awareness
We are here to bridge the gap between the lack of awareness in the industry and the youth wanting to pursue an adventurous life in Merchant Navy. Through our detailed blogs and news, we strive to make the right information reach your fingertips.
We handle all your paperwork
Stuck with the process of applying for Medicals, COC, COP, DC, Company contracts, or other marine documents? Apart from our detailed blogs, we also assist you manually with the ins and outs of complicated application procedures.
We make sure you get that sponsorship
Getting a sponsorship guarantees your onboard training and placement. We help you prepare for the sponsorship exams, including written test, psychometric test, and interview; which ensures a stress-free head start to your career.
We help you get into the right institute
Yes, there are institutes claiming to run authorized maritime courses, but are not D.G. shipping approved. We don’t want you to land into one of these academies. We help you get admission in the right – government approved institute.
We wave you goodbye as you get onboard
We love seeing dreams come true. Especially when we have worked for them! For the past 6 years, we have been blessed with the gratitude of our candidates, which is one of the major factors that fuel our determination to become India’s No.1 consultancy for joining Merchant Navy.

Student Feedback

Manav Tandel Deck Cadet

I aimed to join the merchant navy right after completing my 10th boards. I wasn’t completely aware of the course to take and was confused by a lot of information available on the internet. But when I met Vikrant Sir, all my doubts were cleared in the very first meeting. He suggested that I pursue the GP rating course and following his guidance, today I’m a successful Deck officer!

Smit Lokhandwala Deck Cadet

I never had an idea that I could secure my placement even before beginning my course! Well, Rife Consultancy made that possible. They told me about the sponsorship program available for DNS in nautical science, and I decided to give it a shot. With their thorough guidance, I was able to get a completely sponsored program and an offer letter at the same time.

Jay Nakum Deck Cadet

I also prepared for entrance exams using their course material. I did my DNS and aim to become and got sponsorship in the (company name).

Brijin Patel ETO

I was already working in the engineering field when the idea of joining the merchant navy hit my mind. Mr. Vikrant informed me that there is also an option of pursuing ETO. I straight away cleared the entrance exams and went for it. It has been a year now that I’m working as a happy Electro-technical officer.
