What Students Say

Likes

The faculty and student relationship and encouragement.
The freedom provided for students within the campus.
The encouragement to learn and explore new things.

Dislikes

Placement structure could have been better.
Industrial visit trips could have been more and vast.

Course Curriculum Overview

- I was keen on the media field and wanted to learn in-and-out. - There was a minimum of 20 staff for 250 students. 55-60 students per class. - Teachers were supportive and interactive in teaching us all methods. From interactive classes to writing to practical classes. - Exams were conducted on time and the subjects were easy to pass if you had knowledge and interest on the given topics and concepts.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 50000 per year

Placement Experience

Students become eligible for Campus interviews only in their last semester. Less than 10 students were offered in my batch which counts to less than 10% placement percentage. For our department, McKinsey was the top-notch company on the campus list. They offered 4+ Lacs p.a. for freshers. I chose to do higher students in the Communications department, as I've aimed to become a professor.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee is considered to be fair. This is a 3-year-6-semester course. Each semester's fee was approx. 22,000/- to 25,000/- INR. A 60rs shortage in fees led to a delay in writing my exam. Only after the No due with challan was given, we could proceed. Otherwise, it was fair. Scholarships weren't available. Campus interviews happened and in our batch, only 6 students out of 120 got placed.

Campus Life

3.5

- Every year our department's fest would happen in a grand way. A 2-day event in Jan/Feb - AVTAR. - The library is well maintained and we would find almost all the necessary books and journals required for each subject. The college also takes steps to find the book needed by students if requested. - All classrooms have projectors for smart teaching. For the practical classes, we have Mac systems for each student and 20+ DSLRs. - As usual, we have sports days conducting all sports events. Extra-curricular other than our practical classes weren't encouraged much.

Admission

- Above 60% was the eligibility. - Application forms will be provided in the college from the end of the previous academic year/after the public exams. - I didn't avail reservation. After the Board results came, and with more than 80% marks, I got the seat quite quickly. - No, the admission processes happened with ease. They are good already.

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.

THE IDEAL COLLEGE LIFE!

Likes

The opportunities to meet new people and interact with a whole new circle of people by Club Activities as there are quite a lot of clubs according to the student's interest.
Many places to showcase our singing and dancing talent once we join the club or take part in any of the department events.
They have multiple labs for a single department so that the students get a lot of hands on training for coding and as well as hardware.

Dislikes

4:3 Ratio of Girls to Boys in my class and i hope it's the same for all the departments as well.
The college timing can go from 8:30 AM to 5:10PM.
The 75% attendance is kind of doable and maintainable to an extent.

Placement Experience:

about 70 to 80 percent of the students get placed afdter the colleg and the ones not placed also gets placed after the college with high network and communication from other contacts within the college, ZOHO Corp does take placements and i am preparing for my CAT exams as i am planning for My highers at IIM, 5th semester is when the students become eligible for the campus placements and the seniors are a good connection who help to get places and get a job after the completion of degree.
