The college management is also very good a great college life and really enjoyed all d facilities. The college environment is very good for studies.The course is very interesting and the scope is also very good in this field with good growth opportunities.

I gave IIT JEE entrance examination and scored 90 marks and was in EML list. I opted for this course as it was a different course and it was a central university.

Course curriculum was good and it was about ship designing. Subjects like- Hydrostatics and stability, Hydrodynamics etc. The electives were in third year like ocean engineering and motion and dynamics.

My college internship was a good experience. The general stipend offered was around 6-7 thousand per month. Companies like hindustan shipyard, Cochin shipyard, Indian register of shipping came.

In my batch around 80% students were placed Govt shipyards like cochin shipyard. Mazgaon shipyard. Classification societies like class nk, irs and private consultancies came. The average package offered was around 4-5 lacs.

The annual fest Shrestha, technical events like tarang and GOS 7K Run on beach safety is organised every year. All the events were really a fun and response also was very good.

Fee structure is bit expensive. The fee for 4 year course is 9 lacs i.e. 2.25 lacs per year. It is broke up into 1lacs and 1.25 lacs in odd and even semesters respectively.

I didn't availed any scholarship.The scholarships are being offered by govt shipyards to obc and sc/st students. Also the toppper of every year is being offered an amount.

Campus life is good. All d facilities luke extracurricular, labs, sports, competitions like elocution,debates are being organised every year. Students of different caste,religion join and study in the college every year.

Hostel facilities were good and mess food was average. It is a residential cpurse so all d expenses including hoatel and mess charges are included in the fees.

My seniors are really good and an alumni network has also been created. The seniors were really helpful to me to get used to the college and adapt to the environment of the college.

Exam structure include mid sem and end sem exams. The exam and lab days weren't hectic.The labs included physics chemistry, workshops,electronic labs.

The faculty was good and standards were also of a good level. The college environment is very good for studies. Faculties are both temporary and permanent.
