HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The college holds a strict discipline and time management system. Also they were making sure that each and every student is obeying this rules.
The infrastructure is top notch as far as a maritime college is considered. Ship in campus, virtual reality labs and many more will provide more technical knowledge to the cadets
The faculties are all experienced and their way of teaching is also very good

Dislikes

Class timing is little bit hectic and one class is 2 hrs long without any breaks
Hostel room is having 4 persons in each room, so the person who is sleeping down will not get any air from the fan
The food is repeated every week, and they will allow only 30 mints for eating food as well as resting combined

Placement Experience:

For ETO there is sponsorship as well as placements. If you are sponsored by any company you don't need to attend any placement drives. But if you are not sponsored they were providing placements in the first month onwards. The shipping companies like MAERSK LINE, BSM, MSC GOOD WOOD, MARSHALL, and many more are taking the cadets. Almost 90 % are placed before leaving the campus. As far as lam concerned I will go for sailing after the company's induction programme.

Life in HIMT

I applied this course in three other colleges which are Tolani, Manet , coimbatore marine college. I live in coimbatore so i applied in CMC but after visiting the campus i didn't like the infrastructure and the placements record was not good enough. Tolani is a very good college one of the best college in india but the fees for BSC for three years was too high to afford by me so i couldn't join. HIMT is known for their discipline, safety priority and placements record. The fees was also comparatively less than other colleges and it is near to me compared to other colleges. I was selected in tolani, cmc, Manet but i chose HIMT . The selection process consist of a CBT test and online interview. The difficulty level is easy/moderate. We have to clear IMUCET in order to join this course ....Read More

I didn't applied to any other colleges as I wasn't aware much about this field. I got to know about this college from my friend. I knew about other colleges like Tolani and T S Rahman. I choose this college because the course fees are affordable compared to other colleges. For admission in HIMT college, we have apply for IMUCET entrance test and should get a rank. Then register in the particular college site for the particular course and they mail about when the interview will be.
