Remarks

The life in this college is very Disciplined and the studies more focus into practical work and reputation of the college. Also, the college is very reputed in the maritime fraternity. The job after this course is mainly in ships which is thrilling which I like.

The syllabus is very well made by the teaching authority. All the necessary theory and practical subjects are thoroughly mixed. The syllabus is not very huge for each semester. The curriculum is based on all the knowlegde needed while sailing on a ship.

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 900000 per year

Placement Experience

4.5

The placement cell of the college works very hard for the placement of students. Many big companies visits the campus every year to provide job.

College Events

There is a technical committe which looks after all the events to be held. Events and fests (Technical, cultural and sports ) are organised regularly by the working committee. Every year annual fest is orgainsed in which big celebrities also comes.

Campus Life

The infrastructure is good. All the hostels and academic buildings have wi-fi facility. Labs are well equipped with the apparatuses and tools. It also has a gym, a cricket ground, football ground, hockey field, basketball, volleyball and badminton court.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel is good with big spacious rooms and all the necessities (pure drinking water, good/healthy food, clean washrooms, wifi, tv room, study room, etc.). There are total of 4 hostels (for cadets of each year) and a seperate girls hostel.

Overall Good Experience at EEC

Likes

good infrastructure, clean campus and well equipped classrooms and labs.
Faculty members are supportive and explain concepts clearly with practical examples.
Good placement opportunities, career guidance and opportunities to participate in activities.

Dislikes

The workload can be huge sometimes, especially during examinations and project submissions.
some subjects could include more practical and industry-oriented learning
More campus activities and student interactions opportunities would improve campus life.

Placement Experience:

Students can join job drives from the 7th term. Many firms visit the campus for jobs and offer roles in tech and other fields. The pay varies by firm and role. EEC has a good job rate and gives help for job prep. After my degree, I plan to work in the tech field and grow my skills.

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.

Likes

The curriculum provided is really nice and understandable.
It is relevant and is effective as well.
The boy girl ratio is on the other hand a little less as in 45:15.

Dislikes

The way some facilities behave with students is really bad especially in our branch.
Some facilities are too rude and they often don’t want to listen to students point of view

Placement Experience:

Students are open to campus placements from 2nd year onwards. There are many companies who visit such as Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, Amazon, NatWest, Nokia, etc. Highest package offered is 42 lpa and lowest is maybe 2-4lpa. Around 90% of students get placed here. My plans is to get a job through campus recruitment. Currently I got an internship through campus recruitment in Cognizant so the recruitment is quite nice here.
