WHERE DREAM TAKES FLIGHT : BEYOND THE BROCHURE REVIEW OF IMI (INTERNATIONAL MARITIME INSTITUTE) GR NOIDA

Likes

I liked the management system of IMI [international maritime institute] greater noida . And the faculty here is very good .
I like the cleanliness maintained by the house keeping staff . which is the main thing every cadet look forward , when they wanted to live in the hostel for one year duration .
here in IMI you can find the faculty very friendly and teaching is very nice . there is no doubt at all . techers are highly qualified here .

Dislikes

there is nothing like i dont like everything is okay in this institution .so you can easily join this instituion for DNS.
Here we have great many placement opportunities for cadets .

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

For DNS youll be getting sponsorship before getting into college admission . so there is no need to fear about college placements. and IMI has various types of MNC companies tied up with the college. after the completing one year course youll be out at sea for 18 months contract as a trainee cadet .

samundra institute of maritime studies honest review by cadet

Likes

everything here is good and well maintained especially the environment , this is hill station you can even enjoy most unrealistic view , discipline is also maintained with no ragging at all , because of you are bound by legal form about anti ragging
canteen food and especially breakfast and gym area
faculty is highly skilled here having experience as captain

Dislikes

time schedule and playground area and some language barrier is here
campus is not that big which seems little boring

Placement Experience:

after completing this last semseter you will be send directly to ship for further training , executive ship management will assign you ship based on your rank ,100% students get placement it all depends on waiting period of getting ship , after getting degree apply for 2nd mate college and get license to sail as an officer

Be a Sailor at TMI, PUNE

Likes

I liked that it offers alot of sports to take part in.
I liked that there was proper hygiene in hostel washrooms and proper 3 meal course were given.
I liked that the college hosts various number of events and those are another level.

Dislikes

I disliked the strictness towards the rules but it was necessary for the profession.
There is rare leniency to expected in this college.
Attendance has strict rules, even that below 75% attendance you will not be permitted to give exams.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is to the point. Everything taught is super related to the life at sea. And the college proviedes you with simulators worth lakhs and they help alot. Have a real ship inside campus and various outside courses are there to learn from.

IMU days

Likes

Fest were celebrated by our college. Faculties were very helpful for me at the time of examination
Sport supporr so very much, as for me they teach me how to be a professional badminton player
Air conditioner classes and library were provided in the campus. Material was useful for our education

Dislikes

Hostel food and mess cleanliness was poor in my opinion.
As compare to girl, placement opportunities for boys was poor.
I wish to provide more outpass on week days and to order food on weekdays.

Placement Experience:

So many placement companies are coming to our college. Companies like Synergy, Anglo-eastern, Andromeda, Fleet Management, New shipping kaisha, stena, shell, chevaron, TCI seaways, MSC, MSI, Maersk etc. Package they offered was based on they profile and ship. Around 20000-45000 were offered from every company. Above 50% of student gets placement.

Hostel mess home like food never disappoints
Canteen is aslo good you can buy any time

Dislikes

Hostels bathroom locks on 1st floor bathrooms are not working rest all is good clean bathrooms and toilets
Aslo the ac pipes have leaks you'll have to complaint again and again to fix

Course Curriculum Overview:

As this course is of 1 yr duration ( only 8-9 months if you excluded holidays and events ) and cheaper i decided to choose this course . Faculty is very good they focus on our over all development and their main motive is to make an officer out of us . Exams are not difficult if you study every day
