Education branch 
Any service will be as good as the training its officers and men receive. As an Education Officer you will play a major role in the training of naval officers/Sailors. Education Officers are responsible for scientific and methodical instructions, including theoretical aspects of technical subjects of all branches of the navy and also for general education. An Education Officer can specialise in almost all specialisations of the Executive Branch. In addition some officers also get specialisation in Oceanography & Meteorology. 
Aviation Officer 
For those with a aspiration to fly in the skies, the navy needs Pilots and Observers who act as airborne tactical coordinators of marine warfare. While most   Navy pilots fly ship borne helicopters and shore based maritime reconnaissance aircraft, some elite pilots also fly the fighter VSTOL Sea Harrier. Naval aircraft locate and attack enemy surface ships and submarines and take part in amphibious warfare, search and rescue, casualty evacuation etc. For this, specialised training is imparted at various places on shore and afloat units. 
Naval Armament Inspection Officer 
These specialist officers inspect the armaments supplied to the Navy by various agencies. While they ensure the quality, safety and reliability of naval armament and stores, they are also responsible for in-house research & development leading to indigenisation.
