IMU KOCHI real experience

The curriculum is well build for the practical as well as the theoretical knowledge. The only flaws with the curriculum is that in 1st year we have maths, which is not that much required for our field. Also sem 1 has less subject related to shipping. But i think it is good for beginners so that they could adapt with the environment.

Since our college have less students so the chance of getting placement is much higher, most of our seniors are placed, if we have any Backlog in any subject then it is difficult to have a placement, Also for female cadets the placement ratio is very much hight, most the female cadets get placement from sem 2 itself. The companies visit here are MSC, Synergy, Chevron, Fleet management, Thom Tankers, Williamson, Anglo eastern etc After getting the degree we have a 12 months training period with paid stipends.

We need to only pay the fees which is mentioned in the fee reciept. All the hostel and mess is included in the total fees. We also get uniforms, formal shoes, sport shoes, boiler suits, casual uniform and many more, . Only we need to pay exam fees which is about Rs. 4600 for each sem. Also e grantz and other scolerships are provided by the govt. Since I belong to SC, I get e grantz.

The IMU kochi has a good infrastructure, the library is also having sufficient books , also a new library is going to be built soon. We also have e library which also have a lot of books. There are less extracurricular activities in our campus. Also college fest's are also very less. The main celebrations in our college is for Onam, Diwali, Holi etc. Inter college events happens very less. We do have small small events.
