Remarks

Bad remark is they don't let the 1st and 2yrs students to go for inter college competitions.

Entrance Preview

Applied for the college and Got admission card. Went for an interview with the subject teacher and got the seat.

Course Curriculum Overview

Very good. Apart from our major subject, They expose us to all the other field. I studies basic physics,chemistry, botany, maths, commerce, English, Tamil, German, fine arts, games and many more. I always enjoy the vocational food science course. My friends went for aerobics class. Though some course are compulsory we enjoyed it. What I studies in Stella Maris college really helping me in my day today life. This college is fabulous.

Internships Opportunities

Yes but In our department we never had a chance to work with stipend. But every vacation we went for on the job training.

Placement Experience

4.5

Most of my friends were settled with good job. Stella marines are everywhere in this world in high ranking position. They can be easily noted. During final year many big companies conduct interviews and select the valuable students for their company from our college.

College Events

They celebrate all government and religious festival. More specially they celebrate bus day as thanking the PTC drivers and conductors driving to our college. Also too many extra curricular and co curricular events takes place in our college. Stalls during Christmas is one such important thing.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee are reasonable and they give ample time. There are so many scholarships for students in different category. Sometimes teachers pay for poor students. Filling the fee chalan was always a problem for me in my college days. Have nothing more to tell about fees.

Fees and Financial Aid

I don't know exactly. But I heard about it. Some students studied only with the scholarship and loan.

Campus Life

It's a girls college. So no problem about boys. This college has more students from high society. Also many students from Kerala. So I could see too many group inside a class room. But I never say a discrimination. They will be on their own way. In hostel some time we can see the discrimination.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

Day schoolers are not allowed to enter the college hostel. But from outside hostel atmosphere is good. Hosel in charge seems to be very strict. Still girls enjoyed the hostel life in Stella. College canteen was ok in the beginning. But in our final year it was good. I likes the new canteen Menu.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

I'm not aware if anything happening in college. I am not happy about alumni team. It hast one improved. I want to see my college again.

Exam Structure

They were good questions and mostly from the subject. Some times repeated questions in different form as a twisted questions. Old question papers were available in library. So if we refer them we can guess the important questions. Nothing hard about exams and marks. If we listen in class we can clear the paper.

Faculty

Teachers are amazing. All the teachers were well trained. They were very confident and clear with their subjects. I'm always impress of my teachers in Stella. Though people sisters managements are strict,I like it and enjoyed more. They guide and care each and every student.

Nit Trichy B.Sc. B.ed. student review

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.

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.
