Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

There are 8 semesters in total, 7-8 papers in the first two years, 6 papers in the last two years. The course is very lengthy but interesting one. We have many practical sessions which makes the course interesting.

Placement Experience

It is the most professional industry and hence always has demand in the industrial levels. They train us well for this interview process. Some of the companies that recruit from here are SCI, Thome and Synergy, the salary package is also quite impressive.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee is feasible by most of them, it is Rs 2.5 Lakhs per annum, which is about Rs. 9 Lakhs for the whole course of four years. This is inclusive of all the hostel and food fees. Scholarships and student loans are all available.

Fees and Financial Aid

Scholarships opportunities are very well available at this college. There is a 50% scholarship to the female cadets joining, 1.5 lakhs of scholarship to a student who scores first and 50 thousand to the students who come second and third.

Campus Life

4.5

Extracurricular activities are given as much as importance as the academics at MERI. Events like sports fest, annual event Prajaan with dance and music and DJ war. Essay writing and debates are also part of this.

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni network is quite strong there are a lot of passed out seniors who are in good positions in some great companies, they can refer you and also some of them help us academically. This is one of the oldest institutes in marine engineering hence the network is wide.

Admission

IMU-CET is a exam exclusively arranged for this college. After scoring in this exams you are called for an counselling in which you have to select among the 7 colleges all over India. Many private colleges also accept this score for marine engineering.

Faculty

The faculties that we have here are mostly visiting faculties. There are very confident and full of experience with this field. There are some permanent faculties who are as equally talented too. They teach us efficiently all the concepts of this complex course in an easy manner.

The reality check

Likes

The college professors are very particular about attendence and they will always keep there eye on your attendance and according to them attending is very important.
The college infrastructure is very good and there is vast space for students to chill and study library is also very spacious.
The teachers are always eager to solve our doubts and interact with us , the want the more and more students should approach them ask there doubts and discuss the syllabus etc.

Dislikes

I didn't like that sometimes over priority is given to the attendance I think a student can study well at his or her own sometimes only regularly attending lectures can't make you score more self study is important
The college don't have big ground earlier there used to be a big ground but it has gone for the construction work so, we only has a turf and a small ground.
The approach towards the teaching should be changed slightly and more practical based learning should be included.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement start from seventh semester and from third semester only students are enrolled in TPO Training and Placement Organisation where they train students withe various technical skills to acquire a good job. Various famous companies visit our college. Highest pakacge is of eight lakh per annum by Nice solutions. Percentage of student getting place on campus is less. After degree I will do a job.

Staffs were quite supportive and helpful.
Good faculty. They helped throughout semester and taught well.
There were placements from beginning of 4th year. So, it was quite good for me.

Dislikes

I don't liked the college campus. It's under construction. Hope will become better some day.
No events , no tech fests. No excitement
Good companies offering higher packages not visited college.

Placement Experience:

Companies started sending their placements form to college groups from starting of the 7th semester. For particular branches, particular companies visited. Many companies send their placement forms this year. But each selected a max of 2-3 candidates only. In the strength of 76, 15 got placed on campus this year. Selection rates or placements criteria were too low.

Remarks:

Focusing on student's attendence rather than focusing on students concepts. College is not focusing in development of students only paperwork is done. No conceptul teaching nor practical. By doing this stuff we can get a btech degree but not the knowledge a btech student should have.

College life of a Mariner

I have completed my diploma and Then I applied for these college and got selected. Yes, I have not applied for any other colleges. This college was my first preference and got addmission here. For the addmission process first you have to give IMU CET entrance exam and score good ranking in it. After the result is declared you have to pay 10000 for the college selection process. After that some days later a list will be declared with the cadets selected for the college on the website. If you have the name you are the lucky guy. You will get a call from the college to bring the required documents plus check for the college fee. Yes your first exam fee will be only accepted through check. You have to pay 25000 extra as a caution deposit which you will get back once you have graduated from the college....Read More
