There has been an alumni network set up. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to use it yet. However, since most of us sail together afterwards and even give exams together, I have stayed in touch with almost all of my batchmates.

Imu holds their exams every 6 months and there is a midsem exam in between. As there are only two semesters in the pre sea course, we had only 4 examinations.
