Remarks

Management of the college was really good they had provided us with good course material, nice infrastructure to study.

Entrance Preview

None i choose this course because i always wanted to be a naval officer. The captain's take personal interview and thru that they select you.

Internships Opportunities

Because college does not provide internship do there is no point of having any experience of the college internship i wish they would start it as it really benefits students.

Placement Experience

0.5

There were no placements provided the time i was in the college but now have heard that they have started providing job placements in good companies such as Dynacom tankers, Anglo eastern and many more.

College Events

3.5

Navy day-we celebrate navy day every year on 4th December. Independence day, republic day, sports day includes ground games such as football, volleyball, basketball, cricket etc.

Fee Structure And Facilities

U have to pay the course fee before starting the course for 1st semester and similarly you have to pay your fees for rest of the semesters. There are total six semesters the fees changes every year so can't tell exact fee amount.

Fees and Financial Aid

They don't offer any scholarships to any students and about loan yes. They provide education loan to the students at very lower interest rate.

Campus Life

Campus life was really very good and very competitive at the very same time in both academics and sports and other activities. Parties were not allowed in the hostel no there was no discrimination in any religion.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel accommodation was really good there were right amount of bathrooms and toilets, and they were kept very hygienic but mess food quality wasn't up to the mark.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni networks were created, but Alumni network is not that good as no one really cares about maintaining it and one keeps in touch thru it so i would say it wasn't good at all.

Exam Structure

It was chilled out there was no pressure regarding exams they provided us with good study material and sufficient time for the preparations for our examinations so it was chilled out.

Faculty

4.5

Faculty was really good and very helpful very experienced and skillful faculty ready to help in overall development of the student in both academics and other activities.

The first thing would be the infrastructure of the college which makes the campus beautiful. Just by walking around we can feel the breeze, peace, clean areas, etc.
The classrooms which has 75 inches smart board, wifi, air conditioned as well the comfortable chairs and tables. It creates a wonderful environment to study comfortably.
The hostels feels as good as home with well painted rooms, bunk beds, wooden interiors, wardrobe and study table with study lights. It is built in such a way that there is a good airflow and lighting.

Placement Experience:

HIMT has always got its name for placements as they have a very good relationship with many companies. From second semester itself students become eligible for campus placements. I am in my 5th semester and as of now 4 companies have visited our campus for our batch. Namely MOLMI, MOLTA, SANMAR, BERGE BULK. There are 23 out of 80 cadets has been placed including me. Packages vary company wise from average 4LPA to highest 6LPA. HIMT maintains a placement percentage of above 80% every year.

Likes

girls to boys ratio is 1:1 is we consider all three branches with some courses with more male while other having for female.more or less the ratio is near 1:1
the most important thing for you is there is close to zero discrimination for you , whether you want to join any club or perform anything you are equivalent to students with others bachelor degree
octagon and library are the two things which are good as library is considered the biggest library among all nit's while octagon having 800 computers for students.NSO ground is also well maintained with the beautiful mig fighter jet to take cool phot

Dislikes

for first years hostel are well maintained if compared with others but don't expect much from hostel atlast this is a government college.in first year 3 to 4 person sharing room are there which was build to carry 2 person.
Quant and entrepreneur thing is not there as you might expect by seeing the nirf 9 ranking but it is not zero .they are growing clubs like profNITT and Sigma are young and they could do better
curfew timing for girls are 9 or 9:30 pm i guess be it any year. for boys ,only freshers have curfew with timing 9:30 pm.other than that any student can't step outside the college after 10 pm without the sign out form.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course as maths is the mother of all science and quite related to other fields so it opens a lot of door for me like mba ,mtech ,phd or any other things. this course is specifically designed for becoming teachers so keep that in mind before taking this course as they are not flexible in changing curriculum or adding something for the sake of students as of now. also you will be having more working days compared to other courses with 80 percent mandatory attendance.after first sem you will get 1 week holiday and after 2nd sem you will get 50.days holiday and after first year you can expect 20 days holiday for winters and 50 days holiday for summers. you will get a lot of time to study for exams. before ct 1 you can expect 2 months and then atleast a month for ct 2 and endsems. cons are that you don't have the right to choose minor or electives like btech students.you have to compulsory study all three science .i.e. maths , physics, chemistry.
