Apply for any college offering nautical courses. Mumbai and Chennai have a sizeable chunk of maritime training institutes. There is a huge demand for both marine engineers and deck officers in the Merchant Navy. AMET in Chennai offers a Dual course (engineer and deck officer), which is a partly sponsored course.

The Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, VA is a fully accredited four year college. Graduates earn BAs in a number of fields and they are elegible to become licensed deck officers and marine engineers.
For those who have, or desire to have, on board experience, such as a deck hand (able bodied seaman, and above) you need three things -
U. S. Coast Card registration
A letter from a U. S. flag owner saying he will employ you
Membership in one of three unions - NMU - SIU or similar union.

Go apply for a job.
Hint there is no such thing as a 'merchant navy' instead there are various companies that own ships and hire employees to sail them.
