What Students Say

Likes

Food and travel are free. Nice teaching facilities.
Campus is big enough. Friendly seniors and juniors
No ragging is allowed in college. Overall a good place

Dislikes

Lab facilities are not too good .Can be made better
Construction of college is done on lake .
Not a student friendly place . That can be made a bit better

Course Curriculum Overview

I choose this course as I was interested in research. However,the faculty strength in our department is a big low. But all the faculty members teaches well and had done their phd. Semester exams will be 4 months once the semester starts. Cae 1 and 2 will be conducted with proper timing. There will be lab exams also. Passing will be easy if you listen lo class properly and read

Class Size: 63Course Fees: INR 71000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees is 71000 for 1st year and 66000 for remaining 2 years. Cost friendly. Scholarship will be provided if you are the top ranker . I am not sure with stipend and all since we never got . Not sure about financial assistance too

Campus Life

3.5

There will be culturals once a year. Rather than that nothing else. Books will be provided according to you choice. there are plenty of them. Classrooms of our department can't be as said as excellent but moderate. There are sports which I am not aware of . Cubs is one of the club activity regarding science and research. Other than that there are maths club ,sports club, music club ,dance club , etc

Admission

There was an exam but I didn't write . I took direct admission for my course. But students writing and qualifying the exam should have better cut off in tuition fee . You need 10+2 (maths, physics, biology, chemistry) . Application can be done online by visiting college official website or done offline.

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.
