ZASHA Institute of Maritime Studies, Dehradun

The greatest positive point is simple: ZASHA is listed as a DG Shipping-approved Maritime Training Institute, with MTI No. 105016 in the published approved-MTI lists of DG Shipping.
This matters because the mere name "maritime institute" carries no value unless it's truly in the DG-approved system.
Dehradun is a convenient base for candidates from Uttarakhand, UP, Haryana, Himachal, and nearby regions. You save time and travel money and accommodation costs compared to bigger metro hubs-especially if you only need to knock out a short course and an exam.
It is one of the very frequently popping names when one is based in Uttarakhand or, for that matter, anywhere around North India, and does not want the usual "travel to Mumbai/ Chennai" struggle just to complete his/ her STCW courses.
