What Students Say

Likes

The rules and regulations, strict routine of college
The training provided to make us fit, running,pushups etc to take our endurance to the next level
Swimming is also provided via which you can keep yourself healthy

Dislikes

Staying clean shaven every day as it is a part of rules and regulations
Staying away from our home for 5-6 months every semester

Course Curriculum Overview

the course covers mainly everything about ship's engines and also gives us a brief idea about other fields aswell in real life we will need some basic electrical engineering or mechanical engineering education which is accomplished due to this course the curriculum has syllabus which we will learn after becoming 2nd engineer or chief engineer and is kind of baseless at this point end semester examinations are held every semester (may-june/ december-jan) it's moderately difficult

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 225000 per year

Placement Experience

from 4th or 5th semester you'll start giving interviews for placement companies like chevron,mitsui OSK lines,NYK, maersk, fleet management, dynacom tankers, torm tankers usually come and take around 80-90% of our batch by the end of our course the package is quite the same as we all go as interns so around 500-900 dollars after getting the degree i will sail onboard

Fees and Financial Aid

it's a central government institute so the fees is quite affordable, it isn't increasing anytime soon either 9 lakhs would be the complete fees for my course our college does not give any scholarships, you can apply for some via government portals

Campus Life

3.5

technical events are often held by our college, college fest is held once in every year our course books are issued by the library inside the campus(it's free) and in the library there is a variety for books readily available for us the technology in our college is readily improving, we have VR simulation room in our college for better learning aswell the college offers different sports such as hockey,cricket,badminton,volleyball,basketball,football,table tennis... there are alot of extracurricular activities to participate in as of now no clubs or groups have been found or created yet!

Hostel Facilities

we have cupboards fan lights balcony and beds (it's a shared room)... basically all the basic necessities are provided by the hostel the food is good on some days, but on some days it's average, the menu is unique on every single day hostel admission is provided with college admission aswell

Hostel Fee: INR 50000 per year

Admission

you had to give IMUCET the form is available online((the examination is held in june) if you score a lower rank but you are under reservation category, you can still opt for a good college. the exam is of 3 hours and is held once in every year, it's an easy exam if your basic concepts are clear the admission process is done offline but i feel like online mode should've been provided so that it wont be a hassle for everyone to travel back and forth.

Likes

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

My experience about techno

Likes

Ragging free campus. Strict action are taken against those who found guilty.
Classrooms are well equipped and are spacious.
There are many fun events that happen in the college

Dislikes

The campus area is too small. The library is not good
The societies are fully controlled by students so huge partiality goes on.
Some of the teachers are mean and are not good.

Placement Experience:

From the 3rd year onwards , students become eligible for internships and stepping in 4th yr , students get eligible for campus placement. Techno provides decent campus placements according to your marks. Good marks also with skills get you better salary. Minimum 7.5 cgpa is mandatory to have you sit for campus placements. The lowest package is 3.4 LPA and highest vary but students also get 14LPA easily. Wipro, tcs ,cap ,gemini, amazon , ibm etc.
