Remarks

Management of the college was really good they had provided us with good course material, nice infrastructure to study.

Entrance Preview

None i choose this course because i always wanted to be a naval officer. The captain's take personal interview and thru that they select you.

Internships Opportunities

Because college does not provide internship do there is no point of having any experience of the college internship i wish they would start it as it really benefits students.

Placement Experience

0.5

There were no placements provided the time i was in the college but now have heard that they have started providing job placements in good companies such as Dynacom tankers, Anglo eastern and many more.

College Events

3.5

Navy day-we celebrate navy day every year on 4th December. Independence day, republic day, sports day includes ground games such as football, volleyball, basketball, cricket etc.

Fee Structure And Facilities

U have to pay the course fee before starting the course for 1st semester and similarly you have to pay your fees for rest of the semesters. There are total six semesters the fees changes every year so can't tell exact fee amount.

Fees and Financial Aid

They don't offer any scholarships to any students and about loan yes. They provide education loan to the students at very lower interest rate.

Campus Life

Campus life was really very good and very competitive at the very same time in both academics and sports and other activities. Parties were not allowed in the hostel no there was no discrimination in any religion.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel accommodation was really good there were right amount of bathrooms and toilets, and they were kept very hygienic but mess food quality wasn't up to the mark.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni networks were created, but Alumni network is not that good as no one really cares about maintaining it and one keeps in touch thru it so i would say it wasn't good at all.

Exam Structure

It was chilled out there was no pressure regarding exams they provided us with good study material and sufficient time for the preparations for our examinations so it was chilled out.

Faculty

4.5

Faculty was really good and very helpful very experienced and skillful faculty ready to help in overall development of the student in both academics and other activities.

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.
