IMU MPC review

I've personally wanted to join merchant Navy, so i choose this course. The University decision to conduct arrear exams mid semester was good too, as it divides the load of the end semester and arrears exams. The syllabus is managed by the headquarters from Chennai, so no comments on that

(This is answered in the last step though) There are lots of on campus placements. The placement officers have links in shipping companies that hire the students on campus. Off campus placements are common too

The fees for odd semester is inr 152500 (including mess, tuition, lab and hostel fees). The one for even semester is 122500. Girls have a fees excuse of a specific amount. Other than that, the college doesn't ask for any extras

Okay this is actually a down side of this college. There is little activity outside academics. I myself am the batch representative for second year in the literary club but haven't had any good opportunities yet. Also the campus director likes to prioritise girls in almost every field (which is a good thing, but he does it in excess). Also there is no playground in the campus. The college has a ground on lease around 300m from the main gate, where most locals come to play too. The wardens might enter the hostel rooms without knocking and without reason. So, the general life in college is not great

The hostel building is good currently. 2-3 students per room. The classrooms are in the same building as the boys hostel. The hostel mess has skilled cooks, but even they reported that the campus director frequently fines them and cuts their salaries. Hostel registration is done with the check in. Hostels are compulsory, and for a reason

When i qualified the imucet, i had this college as the first preference for a few reasons. The prime one being great placements. Students who don't get placed on campus can visit offices of shipping companies for off campus placement. The location in the Mumbai port trust (harbour lines) facilitates this

The permanent faculty appointed by the headquarters from Chennai are highly qualified and excellent, but the local visiting faculty are mostly non qualified and ignorant. Most don't even belong to the shipping field, which would be advantageous
