Remarks

Overall it was a great experience studying there. though there are some recent administrative changes in last few years which has resulted in lot of changes in rules and regulations of college.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The curriculum for marine engineering taught includes basic engineering subjects in the first year and then gradually after first semester it start becoming more and more ship specific is: job specific there's regular workshop classes for imparting practical and really useful knowledge and there's also focus on leadership and management skills thourough various co curricular events held all around the year

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee is quite high as compared to other government college. But it does include all the lodging fooding and other expenses like uniform books stationeries laundry etc. The payment is done thourough online mode only and there's complete transparency regarding the breakdown of fee structure

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes the college offers scholarship to meritorious students according to Mark's scored in each semester.

Campus Life

3.5

The college is a para military college so it's not like your average typical colleges. There's a set of rules, schedule and discipline that you have to follow. There are certain restrictions in place regarding entry and exit from the University campus. The hostel life is without any doubt the best time of life.the friend you make there are for lifetime

Hostel Facilities

Yes it is compulsory for all students to live in hostels provided by the colleg.e there's provision of seperatst hostel for every year with it's mess. The charges of hostel and mess is included in the college fee itself

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

There's a strong system of alumni of the college thourough various groups and websites who will help you support and help in times of need whether it's about helping in getting placements or anything else

Admission

The name of entrance test for the college is called imucet. There are a lot of colleges affiliated to Indian maritime University which offer two courses VTech and marine engineering and bsc in nautical science. After the ranking of exam is released. The person has to decide the course and the college he wants to opt for and the selection is based on merit.

Faculty

The job specific faculties are mostly ex chief engineers and ex Captain who have more than 15 years on the job experience and the practical knowledge they impart comes really handy when one is on board the vessel. Other engineering faculties are decent and most of them have been teaching at the institute for quite long duration

Likes

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

There are many fun events that happen in the college

Dislikes

The campus area is too small. The library is not good
The societies are fully controlled by students so huge partiality goes on.
Some of the teachers are mean and are not good.

From the 3rd year onwards , students become eligible for internships and stepping in 4th yr , students get eligible for campus placement. Techno provides decent campus placements according to your marks. Good marks also with skills get you better salary. Minimum 7.5 cgpa is mandatory to have you sit for campus placements. The lowest package is 3.4 LPA and highest vary but students also get 14LPA easily. Wipro, tcs ,cap ,gemini, amazon , ibm etc.
