Good for placements, excellent hostel life and good to learn, apply and fun. A college for all round development.

I have searched for many other colleges but i chose this because it is the oldest marine engineering college and has a benchmark legacy, and this college has shaped the merchant navy of the nation. It has been known for producing the finest marine engineers. I preffered marine engineering over other courses because this is a type of training that ensures your wholesome development. The placement ratio of this college is very good and this college provides a good exposure of the field and has internships oppurtunities from 2nd year itself and provides for additional courses to improve skills as an officer and develop aptitude as an engineer.

DMET- Who Is Making a Skilled Engineers

My college ( IMU Kolkata Campus) also known as DMET is one of the best marine engineering college from all over the world because here we learn how to handle bad situations, discipline and creates the eco friendly environment in between the senior and juniors as well as the batchmates and help each other in difficult times.

The admission process of this college is like you have appear in IMUCET then councelling will happen then you got admission after getting good rank around 1000 to 2000 rank.

Indian Maritime University Kolkata Review

I have cleared JEE Advanced and I got an opportunity to take admission in IIST Trivandrum, but I didn't take admission there because merchant navy was my first priority and it was my dream course. No I didn't get rejected from any colleges. The admission process is simple, you should have atleast 60% marks in PCM 12th and you have to clear IMU CET examination for taking admission in Indian Maritime University Kolkata.

Bridging dreams and reality IMU Kolkata

I only applied for this college as I only wanted this college and this course. I researched about other colleges but their placement rates were either low or their course fee was a lot higher. In both areas IMU kolkata is the best for this course

Imu kolkata review for students

I also applied for tolani maritime University, Manet Pune as well as Indian maritime University Kolkata campus for pursuing my BTech marine engineering and I also selected for each of them for my course because of my good rank in Indian maritime University common intrance test .I choose this college because of its legacy, Aluminia network, good placement and affordable course fee for a middle class students. In other colleges, the placement scenario is average as compare to my college and it's course fee is too much high. The admission procedure of my college is to crack Indian maritime University common intrance test, then according to rank, you will get college. The eligibility criteria of this college to pass higher secondary school, and pcm aggregate percentage is more than 60%. No medical issues should be allowed in this field.
