Remarks

Management & students relations are like Tom and Jerry.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Course curriculum is one of the best among marine engineering courses, it has right blend of theory and practical learnings.For practicals, in house workshop is there & 2 months of exposure to Mazgaon Docks Shipbuilding yard.Our course was one of the unique course in industry, as it was designed to prepare cadets for deck as well as engine side duties, which doesn't exist anywhere in India.

Class Size: 30Course Fees: INR 110000 per year

Placement Experience

4.5

Companies visiting campus for placements are : shipping corporation of India, Essar Shipping, Anglo eastern. College is not much serious for securing placement for students.However students are able to get placements after passing out from college.

College Events

3.5

Model making & Hobby competition, IMU foundation day, National shipping day, Castrol, sports week, IME, transtech etc.While college also supports students for participation in other institute's cultural, technical and sports festival. Our students are regular participants at toolani techfest, ICT sports week.

Fee Structure And Facilities

College provides transparency in fees breakdown. Payment method accepted were by demand draft or banker's cheque in my time, however with Changi times they may have adopted online payments. Fees payment was year wise during our time. However they may have changed fees payment rotation to semester wise.

Fees and Financial Aid

Didn't avail loan or any scholarships, but it's easily available.Most banks are ready to assist. In Byculla central bank is there, which is ready to provide loan for this institute.

Campus Life

4.5

Very few female students join marine engineering courses, students get full exposure to participate in all types of sports activities, be it cricket, volleyball, basketball, swimming, table tennis, badminton etc. At frequent intervals, many types of intra and inter College competition are there.

Hostel Facilities

Yes & it's mandatory. Hostel is well equipped with all the modern facilities.Best of equipment are there in hostel gym, big tv screen & table tennis playing table is also there.CCTV camera is installed.Fresh water drinking fountain is at all the floor.Special attention is paid to cleanliness.

Hostel Fee: INR 110000 per yearExternal Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is one of the strongest. Alumni are always ready to guide, mentor and help. Most of the alumni are at top position of shipping companies.

Admission

I got admission in this college in 2009 through IIT JEE extended merit list, however,at current times,you have to appear for IMU CET exam.This college is one of the oldest government Marine Engineering college & it's old name was DMET.Now a days, it's online counseling & allotment of college.

Faculty

Any weekday in college was like classes from morning 9:00 am to evening 5:00 pm. All the faculties were highly experienced & had illustrious career behind them, before joining our college as faculty members.All of them were in the ranks of captain or chief engineers.some personality development courses are also conducted by institute.

The reality check

Likes

The college professors are very particular about attendence and they will always keep there eye on your attendance and according to them attending is very important.
The college infrastructure is very good and there is vast space for students to chill and study library is also very spacious.
The teachers are always eager to solve our doubts and interact with us , the want the more and more students should approach them ask there doubts and discuss the syllabus etc.

Dislikes

I didn't like that sometimes over priority is given to the attendance I think a student can study well at his or her own sometimes only regularly attending lectures can't make you score more self study is important
The college don't have big ground earlier there used to be a big ground but it has gone for the construction work so, we only has a turf and a small ground.
The approach towards the teaching should be changed slightly and more practical based learning should be included.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement start from seventh semester and from third semester only students are enrolled in TPO Training and Placement Organisation where they train students withe various technical skills to acquire a good job. Various famous companies visit our college. Highest pakacge is of eight lakh per annum by Nice solutions. Percentage of student getting place on campus is less. After degree I will do a job.

Good faculty. They helped throughout semester and taught well.
There were placements from beginning of 4th year. So, it was quite good for me.

Dislikes

I don't liked the college campus. It's under construction. Hope will become better some day.
No events , no tech fests. No excitement
Good companies offering higher packages not visited college.

Placement Experience:

Companies started sending their placements form to college groups from starting of the 7th semester. For particular branches, particular companies visited. Many companies send their placement forms this year. But each selected a max of 2-3 candidates only. In the strength of 76, 15 got placed on campus this year. Selection rates or placements criteria were too low.

Remarks:

Focusing on student's attendence rather than focusing on students concepts. College is not focusing in development of students only paperwork is done. No conceptul teaching nor practical. By doing this stuff we can get a btech degree but not the knowledge a btech student should have.

College life of a Mariner

I have completed my diploma and Then I applied for these college and got selected. Yes, I have not applied for any other colleges. This college was my first preference and got addmission here. For the addmission process first you have to give IMU CET entrance exam and score good ranking in it. After the result is declared you have to pay 10000 for the college selection process. After that some days later a list will be declared with the cadets selected for the college on the website. If you have the name you are the lucky guy. You will get a call from the college to bring the required documents plus check for the college fee. Yes your first exam fee will be only accepted through check. You have to pay 25000 extra as a caution deposit which you will get back once you have graduated from the college....Read More
