SailR is exam preparation built for one thing: getting Indian merchant navy officers through their MMD competency exams.

Not a general chatbot with a maritime coat of paint. An examiner that knows what your surveyor actually asks.


PRACTISE YOUR ORALS WITH AN AI EXAMINER

The oral exam is where most candidates come unstuck — not because they don't know the subject, but because they've never had to answer out loud, under pressure, to someone who keeps digging.

SailR gives you that. Ask a question, get pushed on the answer, get asked the follow-up you were hoping to avoid. It adapts to whether you're a cadet, an officer or sitting for a master's ticket.


REAL QUESTIONS FROM REAL SITTINGS

Candidates who have just walked out of an oral log what they were asked. Those questions go into a shared bank that everyone preparing can study.

That means you can see the questions that came up at your exam centre, in your class, recently — not a generic list assembled years ago. When you log your own sitting, you're paying it forward to the next candidate.


A QUESTION BANK THAT ACTUALLY COVERS THE SYLLABUS

Over 12,000 curated questions across every function and subject, searchable and filtered by class and topic. Track what you've covered, mark what you keep getting wrong, and come back to it.


BUILD A STUDY PLAN THAT FITS YOUR EXAM DATE

Tell SailR when you're sitting and what you're weakest on. It builds a plan around the time you actually have, and keeps score as you work through it.


WRITTEN PAPERS TOO

Practise full written answers and get them assessed the way an examination board would — structure, coverage, and the points that earn marks.

BUILT ON THE RIGHT SOURCES

Answers are grounded in the conventions, codes and DGMA circulars your examiner expects you to cite — SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, COLREGs, ISM, MLC — not on whatever a general AI happens to remember. The official circulars are published at https://dgma.gov.in/engineering-wing/ew-circulars — always check the official text.


WHO IT'S FOR

Deck and engine candidates preparing for MMD orals and written exams. Cadets sitting Second Mate, officers going up for Chief Mate or MEO Class 2, and masters and chief engineers taking their final tickets.
