CCMC Entrance Exam(IMI Greater Noida, T S Rahaman, SCI-MTI, NUSI Goa)

Below I’ve pulled together each institute’s entrance/selection topics and the typical CCMC course subjects so you can compare at a glance. Sources are listed after each entry.

1) IMI (International Maritime Institute), Greater Noida

Entrance / selection: IMI runs the DG-approved Certificate Course in Maritime Catering (CCMC). Entry tests/selection for CCMC commonly check basic English, arithmetic and general aptitude along with an evaluation of interest/fitness for catering work; the course itself covers food production, galley practice, basic shipboard knowledge and STCW safety modules.

Core topics taught in the CCMC course (useful to prepare for entrance):

• Basic food production & cookery (theory + practical)

• Food & beverage service, tray/buffet service

• Food safety, hygiene & sanitation (including shipboard hygiene)

• Basic galley operations, stores/par-stocks, menu planning

• Life at sea, ship hierarchy & basics of naval environment, STCW safety awareness.

2) T S Rahaman (College of Maritime Catering & Hospitality Studies)

Entrance / selection: TS Rahaman runs a CCMC programme and their admission/entrance emphasizes written tests in English, basic Maths, Science and General Knowledge — plus interviews. Their CCMC course page lists the course structure and practical/theory modules similar to DG Shipping patterns. 

Key syllabus areas to prepare:

• English (basic grammar & comprehension)

• Arithmetic / elementary mathematics (10th-level)

• Basic Science (10th-level)

• General Knowledge / Reasoning, and practical catering theory (food production, F&B, hygiene).

3) SCI – MTI (Shipping Corporation of India – Maritime Training Institute)

Entrance / selection: SCI-MTI runs pre-sea courses (GP rating, GME etc.). For CCMC/GP-type entry tests at institutes like SCI-MTI the typical entrance components are English, Mathematics, Reasoning and some maritime awareness/general knowledge (MCQ written test + interview). If you’re targeting SCI-MTI, prepare on those core basics. 

Practical/course topics you’ll encounter in CCMC at MTI-like institutes: galley skills, food safety, service, shipboard life & STCW safety modules. 

4) NUSI Maritime Academy — Goa (NUSI)

Entrance / selection: NUSI explicitly states selection for CCMC (and GP rating) is by a written + oral test in English grammar, Mathematics, Science and General Knowledge; many centres say the entrance syllabus is broadly “up to and including 10th standard.” Their brochure and admission page confirm this. 

Course content to study for entrance & for the course: basic English, arithmetic & science (10th standard), plus introduction to catering: food production, service, hygiene, galley routines and STCW safety modules.

Short checklist — what to study for any CCMC entrance (practical high-yield list)

1. English: basic grammar, short comprehension, short descriptive answers.
