A Merchant Navy institute built on honest counselling, structured coaching, and long-term partnership with every student.
RP Nauticals is a Merchant Navy education and career guidance institute based in New Delhi, India. We help aspiring seafarers navigate one of the most rewarding — and most confusing — career paths available to Indian students: a life at sea.
Our founders and mentors have seen firsthand how many talented students lose their way simply because they didn't have the right guidance at the right time. RP Nauticals was built to close that gap — offering honest counselling, structured exam preparation, and real support through every stage of the journey, from choosing the right entrance exam to stepping onto your first ship.
We believe in integrity, transparency, and student-first guidance. We don't just prepare you for exams — we prepare you for a career.
"I didn't want RP Nauticals to be another coaching center. I wanted it to be the guide I wish I'd had before I first stepped onto a ship."
With hands-on experience across leading names in global shipping — including Hapag-Lloyd, A.P. Moller-Maersk, and Campbell Shipping Group — Kaushal has seen the industry from the inside and now channels that experience into helping the next generation of seafarers get it right from day one.
"You dream. We plan. You sail."
At RP Nauticals, I help students turn "I want to go to sea" into an actual plan — IMU-CET preparation, DNS sponsorship, Nautical Science, Marine Engineering, right through placement. No jargon. No gatekeeping. Just clear, honest guidance and real follow-through.
"Navigate with purpose. Lead with precision. Deliver with resilience."
I streamline the end-to-end pipeline for maritime career development at RP Nauticals, managing all the operational workflows related to Nautical Science and Marine Engineering. By eliminating process inefficiencies and removing barriers to entry, I implement clear, standardized frameworks that guide students from initial qualification through to successful professional placement.
Six anchor points that hold every student's plan steady — from first assessment to first voyage.
We start where you are. A clear read of your background, aptitude, and goals — no template answers.
Together we map the right route: IMU-CET, sponsorship, GP Rating, or GME — whichever truly fits.
Structured, focused preparation with proven material and mentors who've cleared the same exams.
Interview prep, documentation, medicals, and pre-sea readiness handled step by step.
CDC, passport, visa, eLearning — one team stays with you through every filing and follow-up.
You step onto your first ship prepared, confident, and with a mentor still in your corner.
Every plan is drafted by someone who has actually sailed or trained cadets — not a salesperson.
We tell you what won't work as clearly as what will. No inflated promises. Ever.
Focused syllabi, tested question banks, weekly mocks and one-to-one doubt sessions.
CDC, passport, visa, SID — filed correctly the first time, tracked to completion.
You're a person, not a batch number. Small groups, personal attention, real relationships.
Support doesn't stop when you sail. Renewals, upgrades, career moves — we're still here.
RP Nauticals began with a simple, uncomfortable observation: most students entering the Merchant Navy pipeline in India were being guided by people who had never actually stepped onto a ship. Brochures promised the world; reality on the deck was very different. We started RP Nauticals to close that gap — to be the guide our own founders wish they'd had before their first voyage.
Today, we're a small, focused team of ex-mariners, faculty and support specialists working out of Dwarka, New Delhi. Every student who joins us gets a personal mentor, a written career map, and one point of contact through admission, training and placement. No handoffs, no lost files, no vanishing WhatsApp numbers.
To make an honest, structured Merchant Navy career genuinely accessible to every aspiring Indian seafarer — regardless of city, coaching budget or family background.
To become India's most trusted name in Merchant Navy career guidance — the first place a student and their family turn to before making one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
We tell you what will and won't work — even when it costs us an enrolment.
Deadlines matter. Every filing, follow-up and callback goes out on time.
Every plan is written around a student — not around a course we want to sell.
Clear fees, clear syllabi, clear timelines. Nothing hidden in fine print.
Our mocks are harder than the real exam. That's the point.
We stay involved for renewals, upgrades and career moves — years after your first ship.
