Remarks

We had to clear imucet exam with less than thousand rank for general category to clear the cutoff , the exam difficulty was moderate level the exam consists of 200 questions with one marks each which need to be completed in 180 minutes

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The cordinators are very good in our college but I won't be able to make a comment on the relevance of course as the actual knowledge used in the ships varies vastly from the things taught in the course for various subjects

Class Size: 38Course Fees: INR 850000 per year

Internships Opportunities

We don't have any internships but instead we get direct placements from our college and the stipend provided varies from company to company and also on the type of vessel upon which the cadet is sailing

Placement Experience

There has been a slight drop in our placements from time to time due to recession in maritime community but still if you are good in studies and top30-40% of the batch you will find no problem in getting placed , some companies visiting us are osm thome , chevron , nyk , mol and many more the highest salary provided in lng carriers of nyk that is 1200 dollars per month

Fees and Financial Aid

We have 8,50,000 fees for our 3 years course which includ our mess fee , hostel fee , tution fee , uniform fee or any other fee which would be required by us which very less compared to any private institute since we are funded by the government

Campus Life

We don't have many cultural events happening in our college max to max 1 event in 2 sems but a lot of sports related events are happening as we require good physical health while onboard ships and sports help us in staying physically healthy

Hostel Facilities

Hostel fees is included in our semester fee and the hostels are maintained very properly and the food we get is also pretty decent as some faculty also eat in mess overall I would recommend staying in hostel as it is worth our money

Hostel Fee: INR 10000 per year

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.
