Remarks

I wanted to join Merchany Navy. This is the best government college for doing so. Moreover some of my seniors who are already in Merchant Navy recommended me to join this college. This college has a very good reputation in maritime field as it is since 1949.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is streamlined to marine field. It has topics related to mechanical and electrical fields. Faculties here are the experienced ones. Most of them are from maritime sector and are a passout of this college.

Class Size: 35Course Fees: INR 900000 per year

Placement Experience

Good maritime companies visit our college for placement. Placement is done through written exams followed by interviews.

College Events

4.5

Cultural sector is quite good. There are many cultural activities taking place all over the year. Management is quite good. However administration is quite slow and out dated. There's a annui fest - Tempest organised by students. It lasts for 7 days. It's full of joy and enjoyment.

Fees and Financial Aid

I've availed a scholarship of 75000. There are many scholarship schemes available. 1st one gets 100000, top 30 gets 75000 and next top 30 gets 50000.

Campus Life

Campus is fully equipped with wifi. Sports curriculum is very good in college. Libraries are well equipped with many books related to both maritime field and other fields. It has the largest workshop in Asia. There are many well equipped labs.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel is quite good. There are seperate hostels for every year. First year junior hostel, east wing, west wing, OBC, and the Senior Hostel. In junior hostel there're 5 students in one room. East wing and west wing room has 4 students. Obc has 3 and senior hostel has seperate room for every student.

Hostel Fee: INR 50000 per year

Overall Good Experience at EEC

Likes

good infrastructure, clean campus and well equipped classrooms and labs.
Faculty members are supportive and explain concepts clearly with practical examples.
Good placement opportunities, career guidance and opportunities to participate in activities.

Dislikes

The workload can be huge sometimes, especially during examinations and project submissions.
some subjects could include more practical and industry-oriented learning
More campus activities and student interactions opportunities would improve campus life.

Placement Experience:

Students can join job drives from the 7th term. Many firms visit the campus for jobs and offer roles in tech and other fields. The pay varies by firm and role. EEC has a good job rate and gives help for job prep. After my degree, I plan to work in the tech field and grow my skills.

HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The faculties are very well experienced and there are captains who stay in the campus itself, so if there’s something we need they will be available all the time
The facilitieslike labs, ship in campus, DB tank facilities etc are top notch
The classrooms are fully air conditioned. There’s smart board. Overall everything is really good and also neat and clean

Dislikes

Galley food can improve a little and canteen is comparatively small for such a big campus
They are not conducting intra- college events and inter-college events is very less

Placement Experience:

Placements are really good in HIMT. I got placed in 1st year itself in MOLMI. All faculties try their best to prepare us for the placements and it shows in the placement interview also. Usually companies come for placements from 2nd year but there are some companies who want to take girl cadets 1st year itself. MOLMI, MOLTA etc came to our college for placements. After completion of the course, company will call for induction and accordingly they will call for joining the ship. For finishing the cadet ship , we have finish 12 months of sea time. After that a lot courses has to be done for appearing in 2 nd mates exam.

Some faculties are friendly as they themselves are fresh graduates

Dislikes

But most faculties come off very rude and disrespectful
The office people are not at all approachable
The student login has so many glitches which cause delays in downloading of hallticket

Course Curriculum Overview:

There is one end semester exam and 2 CIAs in one year.Endsem is for 100m and CIAs are 40marks each . There is one assignment for each CIA for 10m each. So totally both the CIA together is 100 marks. Then the average of CIA and end semester is calculated if 40 or above it's pass otherwise you have to reappear. The subjects are not at relevant as computer science keeps changing regularly.
