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

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.

This is the best college overall

Likes

The curriculum provided is really nice and understandable.
It is relevant and is effective as well.
The boy girl ratio is on the other hand a little less as in 45:15.

Dislikes

The way some facilities behave with students is really bad especially in our branch.
Some facilities are too rude and they often don’t want to listen to students point of view

Placement Experience:

Students are open to campus placements from 2nd year onwards. There are many companies who visit such as Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, Amazon, NatWest, Nokia, etc. Highest package offered is 42 lpa and lowest is maybe 2-4lpa. Around 90% of students get placed here. My plans is to get a job through campus recruitment. Currently I got an internship through campus recruitment in Cognizant so the recruitment is quite nice here.

If the percentage is high the admission process is easy. Only 60 seats are available for this particular course. If the seats are not getting full then first come first is being applied.
