Course Curriculum Overview

5

This course is focused on marine Engineering and help us to make a career in Merchant navy. It provides a vast experience in seas and ocean for the seafarers along with our engineering course which involves maintenance of engines at ship. It provides you world class experience of life at sea and prepares you for your future endeavours and hardship at sea. This course tests one's mental and physical toughness as well. This is a very well established course and according to me doesn't need any improvements or change in teaching method. The IMUCET exam is held once a year and it's difficulty is moderate with all the PCM questions on 10+2 level.

Internships Opportunities

5

Top recruiting companies are NYC, Maersk, Chevron, Pacific Basin, Gulf Energy, Elite Maritime, Mitsui OSK Lines, Evergas Shipping, Chellaram Shipping, British Marine, Dynacom Tankers, Anglo Eastern, and Chenmar. All the companies offer us the job of a TME ( Technical Marine Engineer) onboard.

Placement Experience

Students are epegible every year depending on their academic performance and other basis on Behalf of which they are selected. The mass placements occur at the third year and fourth year. There are numerous companies such as Tom tankers, Chevron, synergy, fleet management etc which come to our college every year for offering placements. Till the third and the fourth year around 80-90% of students get placed, the rest are placed in the mean time. My plans after getting degree are to sail for almost 7-8 years till I become Chief engineer and then start my own business.

Fees and Financial Aid

There is no such increase in tuition fees of this course which is 11,00,000 in total. This includes your tuition fees, hostel fee, accommodation, food and every other facility provided at the hostel. At every year, the top ranked holders are placed as the companies are invited to the campus every year and select the desired candidates on the basis of interviews and marks. The cadets here have many responsibilities from maintaining discipline to fowwing it.

Campus Life

There are various annual and technical festivals held here one with the main fest that is held at this college is know as Tempest.

This college focuses deliberately on sports for the personality and overall enhancement of one's life. Various sports ranging from football, basketball, hockey, swimming, volleyball etc are provided with well maintained courts and pools which are regular maintained. IMU likely has various student-run social groups, clubs, and student portals that contribute significantly to student life. These groups often cover diverse interests such as sports, culture, hobbies, and professional development. They provide opportunities for networking

Hostel Facilities

5

There are specific hostels for every year with all the proper facilities. The accommodations are different for different years ranging from 6 people in a room to single bedrooms hostel. There are windows for proper ventilation with 6-7 water coolers at every hostel for the students. The mess is situated itself in every hostel and serves breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner to everyone. The registration for hostel is not done separately it is included in the overall registration process. I didn't have to rent any PG.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs
