Sea’s calling

I got admitted through IMU CET exam in which I secured 3000rank and through the Counselling I got this college.

The pattern of the course is so built to give a complete understanding of the marine field. It covers everything from the basics principles of machines used on board to their construction and maintenance. An elective subject like environmental science and management & economic are yet more essential part of living and hence focused here in the curriculum.

No, it doesn’t provide any internships but yes the eight semester here in college is called afloat training which gives you all the training required for the job.

Placements are growing day by day. New bonds are being signed by the college with many shipping companies. As per the previous year record, the avg salary is approx $600. Dock and dale, B&W are few of the companies that visited the campus and hired the cadets.

Staring from Holi celebrations in March to Christmas celebrations in December college outcast its unity in diversity. There’s no partiality in celebrating festivals and occasions. Teacher’s day and environment day hold much importance.

The yearly fees right now is 2.85 lack that includes hostel, uniform, and books. Additionally per month 3000 mess fees and examinations fees as per subjects. Quite expensive as compared to other courses but being a sea course it's a good stake. There’s no need to pay whole sum in a single go. Term fees can be paid in four quarters.

There’s no such facility available. But you can surely avail a loan from any of the banks and your bank would be happy to sanction the loan since the marine profession provides assured jobs. University toppers are provided with money.

Campus life is thoroughly awesome. Right from morning exercise, pride, flag hosting to evening games you’ll have the best time. Girls are quite a few, a reason you can guess. Our INDIAN society doesn’t provide much freedom to girls. Apart from it, the climate is lovely. With Ooty just 100km away, there’s perfect scenery in the evening time.

The hostel is clean and hygienic. One room has 4 cadets. Well ventilated and illuminated room. The washroom is well maintained. Food is great as per the south culture but guys from the north may face a bit problem in adjustment. A combined mess for all the cadets.

Yes, seniors are always helpful. They remain in touch with us to guide us and inspire us. Emails and numbers are available with college and can be assessed.

There are 8 semesters with 6-7 written exams and 3-4 practicals in each. Only fourth semester have 7written exams. Rest have 6written and 4 practicals. 8th semester don’t have any written paper. Further additional 100marks are for the discipline and attitude called credit marks here.

Once you undergo Counselling at University ie. Indian Maritime University, just approach the college. They’ll provide you everything at the admission desk. Once you clear your IMU CET exam. You have to undergo Counselling in nearest IMU campus ie. chennai, mumbai, kolkata, cochin and vishakapatnam. After Counselling all you need to do is visit the college. All the forms and necessary documents would be given at the admission desk.

Most of the main subject faculties are sailors here. They have almost 10-15 years of sea experience and knowledge and are very efficient and keen on delivering the same to us. They make sure you get what makes you fit for the sea. From the theoretical knowledge to their practical application, they give their best.
