Comprehensive Inspection Programme (CIP) of

Maritime Training Institutes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. General:
1.1 It is widely recognised that the future of India in the global shipping will
largely depend on its strength of providing seafaring human resources of
highest standards. India has maintained till date a coveted place in the
international shipping as one of the respected suppliers of not only competent
seafarers, but also, valued professionals and strategic ship managers to the
international maritime sector. While this has been the outcome of the decades
old maritime education, training and examination system in India, it now needs
to be recognised that in the increasingly competitive manpower supply
scenario in International Shipping, excellence in maritime education and
training is a necessity.

1.2 It is the view of the Directorate that there has always been interplay
between the dynamic requirements of the evolving levels of scientific and
technological competencies expected of the seafarers’ vis-à-vis the role of the
state regulatory framework in maritime training. It is therefore incumbent upon
the maritime administration to introduce timely modernisation and reforms in
the maritime regulatory processes to keep pace with the highly competitive
international shipping requirements.

2. Purpose:

2.1 Almost two decades after the maritime training in India was opened up
for private participation, there are around 130 maritime institutes in the country
offering pre-sea training, post sea competency courses, short modular
courses including simulator courses. Though, all of them are functioning
under the centralised control and monitoring regime of the Directorate General
of Shipping, variance in the quality of training imparted in these institutes
cannot be ruled out.

2.2 Traditionally, the monitoring mechanisms of the Directorate largely

depended on the physical inspection of the institutes by the inspection teams
from the respective Academic Councils (ACs), comprising of the technical
Page: 2 DGS Guidelines for Comprehensive Inspection Programme of Maritime Institutes
 Annexure –I of DGS Order No.23 of 2014

officers of the Mercantile Marine Departments (MMDs) and industry experts.

This was considered to be an ideal option, not only because they formed part
of the enforcement machinery of the government, but also in recognition of
their domain expertise, arising out of their specialised maritime background,
familiarity with the updated maritime convention requirements and most
importantly their hands-on association with the Examination and certification
systems. However, the growing number of maritime institutes and the
voluminous increase in the responsibility of the maritime administration for the
implementation of new international Convention requirements has admittedly
affected the efficacy of the existing inspection regime, warranting the
Directorate to evolve alternate monitoring mechanisms to ensure the quality
and uniformity required in the maritime training sector.

2.3 The introduction of Quality certification by Certifying bodies and the

Grading of pre-sea institutes by the Rating agencies were proactive initiatives
towards the above objective. However, experience has shown that these
mechanisms have not yielded the desired results, apparently due to the lack
of domain expertise of the agencies in maritime field. The matter was
extensively deliberated amongst various stake-holders and the consensus
largely emerged during these discussions was that a comprehensive ‘grading’
process by established agencies with domain expertise in the maritime field,
could form an effective alternate monitoring mechanisms for maritime training
institutes.

2.4 Accordingly, the Directorate General of Shipping had developed and

implemented the Comprehensive Inspection Program (CIP), for maritime
training institutes conducting Pre Sea courses vide DGS Order No. 25 of 2013
dated 31.12.2013. The impact of this inspection regime has been successful
and positive.

2.5 The purpose of the DGS Order No. 23 of 2014 is to introduce a

‘Comprehensive Inspection Programme (CIP)’ for the applicable Post-sea
competency courses as shown under para 3 below , integrating the existing
inspection processes a maritime training institute is currently required to
undergo on regular basis, i.e., the Scheduled inspection by MMDs, and the
Quality certification audits (subject to the RO fulfilling its in-house quality
inspections parameters as well , without increasing the inspection visits) by
Certifying bodies.

Page: 3 DGS Guidelines for Comprehensive Inspection Programme of Maritime Institutes

 Annexure –I of DGS Order No.23 of 2014

3. Applicability:

3.1 This order applies to all Maritime Training Institutes functioning under
the approval of the Director General of Shipping, approved for any of the
following Post-sea competency courses :

1. Foundation Course
2. Second Mate Foreign Going (FG)
3. Chief Mate (FG) Phase I & II
4. Master (FG) Advanced shipboard management course
5. Navigation watch keeping officer – near coastal voyages (NCV)
6. Chief Mate (NCV) Phase I & II
7. Master (NCV) Advanced shipboard management course
8. MEO Class - IV
9. MEO Class – II
10. MEO Class – I
11. MEO Class - IV (NCV)
12. MEO Class – III (SEO)
13. MEO Class – III (CEO)
14. Electro Technical Officer (ETO) bridging course

4. Objectives:

4.1 The Comprehensive Inspection Programme, now being introduced for

competency courses, relies largely on the principles of grading of various
institutes broadly conducting similar training programmes and is expected to
benefit relevant stake-holders, inter-alia, the prospective candidates, institutes
and shipping companies, in addition to providing realistic inputs to enhance
the monitoring and control mechanisms of the maritime administration as
objectivised below:-

4.1.1 A credible grading of institutes would significantly aid prospective

candidates in the way of their decision-making of choosing a right
institute for a particular course, as the process would substantially
assess the relative quality of similar courses offered across various
institutes.
Page: 4 DGS Guidelines for Comprehensive Inspection Programme of Maritime Institutes
 Annexure –I of DGS Order No.23 of 2014

4.1.2 The grading would be a potent symbol of differentiation for

institutes that conduct particular courses better than others and would
help the premier institutes in attracting better students from both within
and outside India, to the extent as permissible as per the laws of the
land.
4.1.3 The grading of institutes and their courses would provide shipping
companies, as potential employers, with a tool to assess the relative
quality of education imparted and re-orient their expectations with regard
to on-the job performance of the officers.
4.1.4 The comprehensive inspection programme (CIP) would lighten the
burden of institutes from undergoing multiple inspection processes.
4.1.5 The CIP would eventually serve as an effective tool to the
Directorate General of Shipping for non-intrusive regulation of the Post-
sea competency institutes, relying on a matured regulatory concept of
‘self regulation’, and, thereby encouraging a permeation of best
practices across institutes.

5. Inspecting Authority:

5.1 Any Classification Society authorized by the Government of India as

Recognized Organisation (RO) vide Govt. of India, Ministry of Shipping
Notification, S.O. 2044 (E) dated 06.09.2011& having entered into agreement
with DGS may offer their services for the inspection, gradation and
certification of the institutes. The inspection team shall comprise of auditors,
with at least 50% of them holding the Certificate of Competency (CoC) as
Master (Foreign Going) or Chief Engineer (Unlimited power) , as the case may
be.

5.2 The institute shall have the option of approaching any of the mentioned
ROs for the inspection and certification. However, once the certificate is
issued, the annual inspections shall be undertaken by the same RO, during
the validity period of the Certificate, unless there are pressing reasons to the
contrary, to be explained in writing to the Directorate. In case, the institute
desires to change the inspecting agency during the validity of the certificate,
necessary permission in this regard may be obtained from the Directorate and
the institute shall undergo a complete initial inspection for the purpose of this
change.

Page: 5 DGS Guidelines for Comprehensive Inspection Programme of Maritime Institutes

 Annexure –I of DGS Order No.23 of 2014

6. Inspection & Certification:

6.1 The Inspection frequency and the validity of the certificate shall be
largely governed by the concept of ‘Three Year Cycle’ in line with the Quality
Management System, based on the principles of Initial, Annual, and Renewal
Inspections.

6.1.1 The Initial Inspection will be a major Inspection, on successful

completion of which an Institute will be issued with a Certificate, subject
to annual inspection for next two years.
6.1.2 The Annual Inspections are meant to ensure on-going compliance
by the Institute.
6.1.3 On completion of three years, the Institute will be required to have
a detailed Inspection for renewal of the Certificate.

6.2 The initial and renewal inspection shall be exhaustive, whereas the
annual inspection shall be to verify continued compliance. The information
furnished by the institute shall form the basis in such cases, except when the
auditor requires further verification. For the annual inspection, the score
remains as assigned in the initial inspection, unless the institute requests for
re-assessment or the auditor has reasons to review the same. In such cases,
re-assessment of the concerned areas needs to be specifically undertaken.

6.3 On satisfactory completion of the initial inspection, the Recognised

Organization shall issue an appropriate certificate to the institute with the
confirmation of the following as minimum.

6.3.1 That the institute is meeting the relevant requirement of the

International Convention on Standards of Training Certification and
Watch-keeping (STCW), as amended.
6.3.2 That the institute is complying with all the applicable Merchant
Shipping (STCW) Rules and other Orders, Circulars and Guidelines
issued by the Directorate General of Shipping from time to time.
6.3.3 That the institute has implemented a Quality Management System
equivalent to the standards envisaged as per the latest ISO or
equivalent specifications.

Page: 6 DGS Guidelines for Comprehensive Inspection Programme of Maritime Institutes

 Annexure –I of DGS Order No.23 of 2014

6.3.4 The RO shall assign the institute with a Grading (based on the
credit- points scored by the institute as per the assessment checklist),
reflecting the overall grading of the institute for the approved post-sea
Competency Courses, as shown in the Table below:

Table 1: GRADING SCALE (may be reviewed)

Sr. No % Score of Credit Grading Remarks

Points

1 80% and above A1 Outstanding

2 70-79.9% A2 Very Good

3 60-69.9% B1 Good

4 50- 59.9% B2 Average

5 40-49.9% C1 Below Average

6 Below 40% C2 Poor

6.4 The Grading shall be valid for the entire period of Certification unless
revoked by the Recognised Organization concerned. However, the
Recognised Organization may re-assign the grading during the annual
inspections or based on Additional inspections on the request of the Institute,
and/or as per specific directives from the Directorate General of Shipping.

7. Methodology for Grading:

7.1 To be able to make a fairly accurate and realistic assessment of a

Maritime Training Institute’s grading and capability, the Comprehensive
Inspection Programme (CIP) has drawn up several parameters, both
qualitative and quantitative, in consultation with various experts in the field of
maritime education / training, besides other stake-holders. The critical
parameters include (to the extent applicable for various courses) the quality of
faculty, quality of infrastructure, training facilities, the quality of the teaching

Page: 7 DGS Guidelines for Comprehensive Inspection Programme of Maritime Institutes

 Annexure –I of DGS Order No.23 of 2014

process, performance of the students in examinations (Both Internal and

External), and an assessment of the long term prospects of the institute.

7.2 For the purpose of grading, a comprehensive Check-list has been

developed to guide the Inspecting authority for the uniform implementation of
the inspection regime based on the key parameters listed below:

7.2.1 Infrastructure set-up and Maintenance.

7.2.2 Faculty & Human Resource Development.

7.2.3 Student Performance and Sustainability of Institute

7.2.4 Overall Performance & Management.

Note- The Institute will fill-up the standard checklist, other than the following:-
1. The column on RO’s remarks & assigned credit points.
2. The section for the Total Credit points earned and the final gradation.

8. Fee for Inspections:

The fee for the inspection will be paid by the institute directly to the RO
concerned. It is intended that the fee structure of the ROs and other
expenditure incurred by the institute towards inspections, do not vary
substantially from each other, so that cost considerations do not become a
criterion for an institute to select an RO for its inspection purposes.

9. Reporting:

9.1 On completion of the inspection, the Recognised Organization shall

provide the institute a complete report of the inspection, with clear
recommendation on the final Grading, and forward the same to the Directorate
General of Shipping within ten working days, in case of Initial and renewal
inspection, and within five working days in case of annual inspection. A copy

Page: 8 DGS Guidelines for Comprehensive Inspection Programme of Maritime Institutes

 Annexure –I of DGS Order No.23 of 2014

of the report shall also be forwarded to the PO of the jurisdictional MMD.

9.2 The Inspection report shall separately list out all the deviations observed
with respect to the standard norms prescribed by the DGS, under the
following categories:-

9.2.1 Minor Non-Conformities ( procedural deficiencies ): These are minor

deviations from a standard practice of DGS / IMO Model Courses of
running a curriculum, which in the opinion of the Auditor may adversely
affect the quality of the Institute /student output. These non-conformities
are expected to be addressed within one (1) to three (3) months, or in a
given time frame as awarded and verified by the RO, if necessary.
Minor non conformities, if not attended within the stipulated time, will
lead to the same being converted into Major Non conformities.

Examples are: Improper faculty selection modalities, Faculty not having done TOTA
course, Class routine Not Detailed, Detailed teaching syllabus not in place, Faculty/
student attendance registers not maintained, inadequate maintenance of specific
Lab / workshop equipment, etc.

9.2.2 Major Non –conformities: These are major deviations from standard
norms as specified by DGS/ IMO Model Course, which in the opinion of
the Auditors may affect Institute performance /student output quality
seriously and adversely. Major Non conformities, if not attended in time
can lead to suspension / revoking of approval of an Institute.

Examples are: Insufficient Nos. of marine / total Nos. of faculty members, Excess
admission of students against sanctioned strength, excessive number of Minor Non
conformities, Non conformities not closed within time limit, Serious lapses in the
basic minimum prescribed for infrastructure, False submission of information to the
authorities, course certificates being awarded to candidates who have not attended
the classes, serious non- conformities related with the Quality System, Admission to
ineligible candidates, etc.

9.3. In case of any Major Non-conformity, the Inspecting authority shall report
the matter to the PO of the jurisdictional MMD, under intimation to the
Page: 9 DGS Guidelines for Comprehensive Inspection Programme of Maritime Institutes
 Annexure –I of DGS Order No.23 of 2014

Directorate General of Shipping. The PO, MMD may direct the institute for
immediate rectification / downgrading of the said non-compliance and may
verify the same by undertaking additional inspection by the MMD. In case of
non-rectifiable major non-conformity, the PO, MMD shall report the matter to
the Directorate with clear recommendation on the action proposed against the
erring institute.

10. Other Inspections:

10.1 The functional jurisdiction of the Principal Officer, MMD remains as it is.
However, the mandatory requirement of ‘Annual Scheduled Inspections’ by
MMDs / Academic Councils is now being discontinued, with the introduction of
the ‘Comprehensive Inspection Programme’ by the ROs. A new regime of
‘Surprise Inspection’ by the MMDs with equal participation of internal and
external members shall now be implemented by the Principal Officers, at a
minimum frequency as mentioned below:-
Table 2: Frequency of Surprise Inspections.

Sr. No. Grading Remarks Frequency of Inspection

1 A1 Outstanding Once in 3 years.

2 A2 Very Good Once in 2 years

3 B1 Good Annually

4 B2 Average Annually

5 C1 Below Average Twice in a year

Continuation of approval of the

6 C2 Poor Institute will be reviewed by the
DGS.

10.2 The MMDs may undertake additional inspections on specific bonafide

complaints, or at the directive of the Directorate General of Shipping.

10.3 The PO, MMD shall be responsible for the implementation of the

Page: 10 DGS Guidelines for Comprehensive Inspection Programme of Maritime Institutes

 Annexure –I of DGS Order No.23 of 2014

additional inspections as detailed above.

11. Appeal Process

11.1 The Recognised Organization would provide the institute with a written
report for the assigned Grade. The institute may, if desired, contest the
assigned Grade. The RO may review the grading based on the representation
made by the institute, in case some material information is not included in the
grading exercise.

11.2 However, in case the institute is still not satisfied with the grading, the
head of the institute may make a formal appeal to the Principal Officer (PO) of
the jurisdictional Mercantile Marine Department (MMD) along with a fee as
prescribed by the Directorate from time to time. The PO may depute an
inspection team comprising of the Surveyor(s) and External member(s) in
equal number(s) to re-assess the grading assigned by the RO. The decision of
the Principal Officer on the grading shall be final and binding on the institute
as well as on the RO, subject to settlement of dispute, if any, by the Director
General of Shipping, as specified under paragraph 12 of this Guideline.

11.3 If the inspection team appointed by the PO, MMD concerned finds a
deviation of two grades or more from the original assignment, in the final
grading and such lapses are repeatedly observed , appropriate measures
including suspension / cancellation of the approval of the RO concerned for
the CIP shall be considered by the Director General of Shipping.

11.4 The accuracy of the information furnished in the assessment checklist

shall be the responsibility of the institute and any false representation of the
facts may warrant appropriate measures including suspension / cancellation of
the approval of the institute.

Page: 11 DGS Guidelines for Comprehensive Inspection Programme of Maritime Institutes

 Annexure –I of DGS Order No.23 of 2014

12. Settlement of Disputes:

In case of any disputes on the matters pertaining to the implementation of this
Order, the decision of the Director General of Shipping shall be final and
binding on all the parties concerned.

ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST

1. General Instructions:

1.1 The Institute will submit to the Inspecting organisation (RO), the “General
Particulars” statement in the attached format and the “Assessment Checklist”
duly filled up (eg. Column (4)- ‘Institute’s Comments & Credit Points
claimed’), except for the areas meant for the Inspecting organisations.

1.2 All the inputs need to be supported by necessary documentary evidence, as

applicable (eg. Faculty details, Exam records, etc) and duly authenticated by
the Head of the institute.

1.3 Recognised Organization is required to physically verify the factual merit of

the entries made by the Institute and fill up Column(5) – (‘RO’s Remarks and
Assigned Credit Points’), against each criterion, after ascertaining the extent
of compliance.

1.4 RO shall also fill up Section –V of the Checklist- “Total Credit Points & Final
Gradation”, after assigning and tabulating Credit Points in all other applicable
sections.

1.5 For Section II (Faculty and Human Resource Development) , each

Course is to be assigned total marks and Grading individually, after
assessing the applicable areas. However for ‘Overall Grading’, average
of these points need to be considered.

 Annexure-II to DGS Order No. 23 of 2014

2. Methodology for Assigning Credit Points.

2.1 In case of requirements, where only Maximum Base point is indicated in

column ‘6’, the credit points may be assigned to that scale (in proportion to
the compliance) to the maximum indicated point. (eg. If max point mentioned
is 10, points may be assigned from 1 to 10 depending upon the quality of the
facilities provided).

2.2 For Clauses where specific compliance against certain guidelines (eg. DGS
Orders), such as infrastructure and Faculty with Base Point is mentioned,
full compliance of the respective requirement will accrue full credit points as
mentioned in column ‘6’ ( eg.10). For any shortfall from the basic stipulations,
points (in proportion to the shortfall) in the scale shown in column ‘6’ will be
subtracted from the base points assigned. (eg. 10-1=9points). All instances
of shortfall shall be notified as Non- conformity, Minor or Major,
depending on the severity of the shortfall. On the contrary, in case of any
compliance in excess of stipulated minimum (in Part-I : Infrastructure &
Maintenance only) , points upto 20% Bonus Points (in proportion to the
excess) may be added to the base credit points (eg.10+2=12 points).

2.3 For Clauses where specific compliance against certain guidelines (eg. DGS
Orders), such as Faculty requirement, with only base point mentioned in
Column ‘6’ , compliance with minimum requirement will get full credit points
as mentioned therein.

III. Student Performance and Sustainability of Institute

(Maximum Credit points: 500)

Note:
1. Students Performance in examinations reflects the attainment of the programs’
intended learning objectives. It is also a vital tool for improvement of academic
quality and measurement of effectiveness and teaching skills.

2. As the competency courses aim to prepare the students for assessment of their
competencies by the Administration, it is of utmost importance that the
performance in internal tests be an indicator for the level of preparedness for the
assessment of competencies. This is both a tool for measuring the effectiveness
of the courses conducted at the institute, as well as an effective method to
evaluate the standard of knowledge attained through such programs.

3. The basis of evaluation and calculation of the scores are the institutes’ internal
(mid-term and final) tests and the Competency examination results regularly
displayed on the DGS website.

4. The credits points indicated in column 5 will be assigned by the RO in that scale,
proportional to the extent of the achievement as derived in column 4, to the
base point indicated in column 6.

5. For Section III, Sr. No. 1, i.e., Academics, items highlighted in italics shall
be separately scored for each course, and the average for all courses shall
