Abhishek Upadhyay's Review On Maharashtra Academy Of Naval Education And Training - [MANET], Pune

Manet is one of the imperial colleges in India presently that provide quality education in the stream of Merchant Navy. Along with an efficient and scenic infrastructure that attracts students to opt for this institute, this college has an erudite and experienced faculty. Some of the experienced faculty here have 40+ years of sailing experience which, they are willing to impart to students who want to pursue merchant Navy as a career. Though marine field is going through a rough patch in terms of placements, this college is committed to provide the best of opportunities and provide an ideal exposure to train competent cadets. Recruiting companies are usually foreign based such as Maersk, MOL, Chevron, MOLTA etc

The curriculum for this college is quite comprehensive and the core subjects are usually inculcated from fourth semester. First three semester are pretty basic and faculties change gradually from semester 4 onwards. Initially professors teach you, when it comes to core subjects, experienced people from marine industry who have previously sailing for ample amount of time with prestigious companies get involved with us. All the Senior faculties are fantastic, they have command over what they teach. Capt. Rakesh Mamgain, Capt. Gokhale and Capt. RG Kulur are the most experiencing faculties teaching here, each of them having 30+ years of sailing experience.

I am currently working as a freelancer with College Dunia. The pay grade is flexible and is totally based upon the quantity of words that constitute an article assigned by them. I applied for this internship through Internshala and I have been quite satisfied with the assistance and grooming provided by College Dunia.

Merchant Navy is going through a rough patch currently due depreciation in trade across the globe. Companies do visit the campus but they are not recruiting on a large scale. Each company coming to this institute is usually recruiting in single digits. Placement cell has been putting crucial efforts in getting maximum amount of placements to their cadets.

Persona Fest is organised every year in the University campus which is one of the acknowledged fests in Pune. Apart from that, MANET is given the responsibility of hosting Patriotic events like Independence day and Republic day and the cadets of Manet, by far, attract the center stage.

Girl cadets are assisted with fee consession of 50,000 per semester by the DG Shipping. There's no scholarship as such for cadets in MANET. Cadets can avail loan facilities with the reference provided by college but usually cadets prefer opting a loan from banks of their own choice so college is not much involved in this matter.

Our University campus stretches over 125 acres and has all the sports facilities including rowing and boating club. College library has all the major books related to marine field. Lab section includes electrical department, ship-in-campus, seamanship lab and physics lab.

As this course is a mandatory residential course, hostel is compulsory. Hostel rooms have ample space and compose of three cadets in each room.Wifi is available at every section of the hostel. Hygeine is always maintained as the hostel rooms are cleaned atleast once in two days while bathrooms are cleaned daily.
