What Students Say

Likes

I like the college atmosphere. The infrastructure will be very good . The campus would be full of trees and it will give the lively atmosphere.
I like the Faculty of my department. Some are strict but most of the staffs are very friendly
The events would be extra ordinary.During the college fest it will full of fun and enjoyment

Dislikes

I don't like my course which I opted. It was full of basic it is only a foundation course for the higer studies
They can provide with any special course for the students who seeks for any job immediately after they finish the graduation
The placement can be given for every courses. For courses like Zoology they didn't provide any campus interview..

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

Actually the curriculum in that course was very basic.. and if i study pg only I can go for any job or any research. In the practical session we had dissection of frog, cockroach and all.They would have avoided that

Class Size: 24Course Fees: INR 13500 per year

Internships Opportunities

I didn't get any internship or stipend so I don't know much about that, some of my friends got stipend and I don't know the details about that But Many BCA students got placement in HCl , Infosys, CTS, TCS etc

Fees and Financial Aid

As I studied as day scholar,the fees amount is much lesser than autonomous. Per year it will be around 15,000.( 11,500+3500) . Odd semester fees amount would be much higher than even sem.Totally for 6 sem I had paid around 45000 lesser than that.As I didn't get any scholarship I don't know much about that. As I studied zoology we did not get any campus placement.But for some other courses like physics,BCA they provided campus employment

Campus Life

We had a grand inter college fest every year. Most of the some celebration or any event would be going on.The environment wil be very lively.Ncc and Nss will be in very active mode every time.In library Most of the books would be available.Any course books or magazines we can find over there. In class there will be access for projector. But most of the time they use the Ohp.

Admission

I had an interview. The admission process was not so difficult for me as they were satisfied with my marks taken in 12th. But they urged me to pay the fees immediately if it was not paid within that day the seat would not be provided.

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.

THE IDEAL COLLEGE LIFE!

Likes

The opportunities to meet new people and interact with a whole new circle of people by Club Activities as there are quite a lot of clubs according to the student's interest.
Many places to showcase our singing and dancing talent once we join the club or take part in any of the department events.
They have multiple labs for a single department so that the students get a lot of hands on training for coding and as well as hardware.

Dislikes

4:3 Ratio of Girls to Boys in my class and i hope it's the same for all the departments as well.
The college timing can go from 8:30 AM to 5:10PM.
The 75% attendance is kind of doable and maintainable to an extent.

Placement Experience:

about 70 to 80 percent of the students get placed afdter the colleg and the ones not placed also gets placed after the college with high network and communication from other contacts within the college, ZOHO Corp does take placements and i am preparing for my CAT exams as i am planning for My highers at IIM, 5th semester is when the students become eligible for the campus placements and the seniors are a good connection who help to get places and get a job after the completion of degree.
