Remarks

College is good for academic but practice skill is lagging academically it is very good.Out of 90 cadet 50 cadets are holder of merit based reward and topper of all the sem from our batch.college is lagging in practical aspects.

Course Curriculum Overview

In entrance exam there are questions from physics chemistry maths English and general knowledge.If you want to clear the exam you have to study 11 and 12 syllabus (physics, chemistry,maths) and for English you have to practice from practice book.

Placement Experience

3.5

Placement was not good previously but now it is improving,day by day graph of placement is increasing.last to last year whole batch(all clear) was placed.this year fleet taken 19 cadet,Apeejay taken 4 and 6 are taken by seateam also 17 of my batch mates including me placed in synergy maritime.

College Events

There are many event celebrated in my college one of the most important event is maritime lecture series in which lecture is delivered on selected topic by experienced person of the respective field another one is university Foundation day and also Hindi pakhwada.

Fee Structure And Facilities

This is a central government university that's why fee structure is less than other private maritime college.For one year it 230000,if you are enrolled in b.sc nautical science you have to pay it three time and if you are enrolled in b.tech you have to pay it 4 times

Fees and Financial Aid

You can take education loan easily.Our university offer merit based reward for 31 topper student in every semester except last semester.100000 for university topper,75000 for next 15 and 50000 for next 15.

Campus Life

My college is situated in chennai.play ground is not of that much good boy still it is ok.you will get all the facilities for indoor games like table tennis, badminton etc.you will get a swimming pool and gym

Hostel Facilities

All maritime colleges are completely boarding type.You don't have option to stay outside the college, you have to stay in hostel of college.fee of hostel is included in fee amount of 230000.you need not to pay extra for hostel charge

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

It was not good previously because of absence of any platform.This year University headquarter taken an initiative and made a platform and now all are registering on the website of college. I hope in upcoming time it will work better

Admission

You have to fill a form named IMU CET.price of the form is 1000.if you qualify the exam you have to followup the process of counselling after paying the fee of 10000 after that you will get the college on the basis of your marks obtained in IMU CET and filled choice

Faculty

Faculties are good but less in number.however all the facilities are well qualified and experienced in their subject.they will make you understand the concept of the subject.if you attend the classes easily you will score good marks.

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.
