Dated:05th March,2002

We have been receiving requests
from apprentices, who have completed initial training in marine
Engineering from various approved marine workshop to grant them
exemptions from subjects of MEO Class IV part A. These candidates
have been inducted into such training before 1st August 1998,
i.e. before the M. S. STCW Rules, 1998 came in force.
Clause 4.11 of Section M-III/1
of META Vol. I indicate that such candidates are also eligible
to appear in Class IV Part A Examination conducted under 1998
rules if they are eligible under 1989 rules.
Rule 13 of Section M-III/9 deals
with details of exemption granted from requirement of rule. It
may be appreciated that these exemptions are meant for those,
who have commenced their initial training after 1st August 1998
and not before, for whom the exemptions as they existed under
M. S. (Examination of Engineers Rules), 1989 and subsequent instructions
prevail. This is in line with the general conditions of legal
interpretation of Rules that have been repealed, for the sake
of natural justice, and therefore must be given its due consideration.
