Journey of a Cadet in Himt Merchant navy

The things that influenced me to join this course (DNS) are that its a very simple, short, clear course Which is simply focused on providing the learnings which will be practically used on board ship It will allow me to start earning 60 to 80 k per month after just one year of the course The course is very easy u just need to get the sponsorship from the company before hand to do this course

There are a lot of companies coming in like synergy dynacom, Jemico, Imec is a group of companies and many many others. The stipend differs from 30000 to 70000. You go through interviews and sometimes exams and after completion of course if bsc then 3yrs and dns is sponsored already by companies before college. But the roles is same as a deck cadet on ship. For 12 months as a bsc cadet and 18 months as an ADNS cadet

My course student comes for training after getting placed but for course like bsc and btech u can get start the interviews after second year Many company visit the campus like v ship , synergy , dynacom, imac, maersk , wallem and many more Till the end of the course almost every cadet gets placed and those who dont gets collenge support after the course After getting tge degree u can start joining ship from the company you are placed

I am teeling this for dns course in himt college Last year(2024) the fee was 4.5 lakh and u have to pay 20k for caution deposit which u will recover at the end of the course You also have to pay 40k for affilated university fee which is imu(indian marentine university) You also need to pay 500 per exam to give sem exam And 250 for mark sheet You need to pay the clg fee with caution at once only before joining the course This year the fee increaed by 50k

Here in maritime college u dont get many holidays on festival and cant even go to your home unless u live in the same place and college gives you a holiday but u do get a free day on main festivals In library u can find many knowledgeable books on merchant navy Almost on everything about merchant bavy All classroom have air conditioning and smart board The campus hold many spirt event and even send us to different colleges for sport events Whole campus is maintained by students only making commitie for different work like safety , galley, sports etc

I applied for imu chennai, but I couldn't go there because of my IMU CET rank but I have no regrets as this college is very well disciplined and maintained with amazing teachers and tech giving us the experience of the routine ofa real ship The company u will get the sponsorship from might alot u this college for me it was synergy U can also join this for other course like bsc gme eto etc

The faculty are one of the best thing in this campus tgey are very friendly and ready to help The provide great knowledge which they have gained from their experience They try to make the class intractive and more fun for us Some of my favourite faculty are Capt Ravindran sir Capt himanshu sir Capt vishal sir We have 2 sem in our course of 6 months First sem having 5 subjects and 3 prac Second sem having 7 subjects 4 prac Exams are easy to clear only 4 people failed in my batch for sem 1

The Campus has a gym with not much but necessary equipments and there is a canteen with very limited options like chicken noodles. But they are trying to improve the state of canteen and gym. The campus not huge but it has good places to walk around like muster station, Parents waiting hall, main road, galley road, but we can't go outside college as it's permitted only on Sundays to 6pm
