Admission to the Indian Maritime University (IMU) requires passing the IMU Common Entrance Test (IMU-CET), held online annually in April or May. This exam covers Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English, and General Knowledge, with candidates needing at least 65% in PCM from class 12. Around 60,000 candidates vie for 350 government college seats, with more seats available in 23 private colleges under IMU. High exam ranks allow entry to prestigious campuses like Kolkata.

Post-exam procedures include counseling, medical exams, and document verification, with a counseling fee of INR 10,000. The B.Tech Marine Engineering course costs INR 2.25 lakh annually, totaling INR 9 lakh over four years, inclusive of tuition and other expenses. Scholarships range from INR 1 lakh to INR 50,000 for top students each semester. Students can also avail education loans from SBI, which has a campus branch. The IMU Kolkata campus boasts an 85-90% placement rate with companies like Chevron and NYK, offering average salaries of $500 to $900 per month during training.

After training, salaries can increase to $2,500-$3,000 monthly. The placement process starts in the 4th semester, with some companies recruiting earlier, focusing on academic performance and no arrears. The faculty, mostly experienced ex-seafarers and marine engineers, provide both theoretical and practical knowledge, maintaining a favorable faculty-student ratio of 1:15. Despite some infrastructure issues, the strong faculty expertise compensates significantly. Scholarships are awarded to top 60 students across all IMU campuses each semester, with additional support for economically weaker students through a scholarship from the Shipping Corporation of India.

Overall, the IMU offers a competitive education and placement experience for aspiring maritime professionals.

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

The total course fees is 11 lacs for 4 years which means 2.75 lacs per year (this includes everything hostel, academics, mess, etc), no extra fees has to be paid for placements and internships everything is provided by the college. The fees is same for all irrespective of the category, however there are scholarships of state and central government available for the students. The scholarships range between 50000-300000, the amount of scholarship may vary according to the catergory and financial conditions. The fees is very reasonable compared to other colleges that provide for marine engineering. NOTE a sum of 30000 is to be paid as caution deposit

The free structure of my college is like division in an even odd semester wise like in 1st semester we had to pay 100000 lakh rupees and in an even semester like 2nd semester we had pay 125000 lakh rupees at the end we paid 900000 lakh rupees that was total course fees for my B.tech course including my hostel charges, laundary charges, mess charges everything even you will get books from the college to study and revert it back after the semester if I discussed about the admission fees it was 10000 thousand rupees and 25000 caution money for any damages and security purpose. But If girl took an admission they had to pay less than 50000 as comparison to boys. If I talk about the scholarship DMECA which is a group of passouts from this college who provides scholarship to upbringing the intelligent students for motivation and encouragement.

And after that we have to pay the lab fees also during the semester examination, the fees structure is same for all the students studing in the campus there is no issues of category wise fees selection. Some many scholarship opportunities are there in college like INS shivaji and BHU banaras campus and other ports like manglore port and etc .

The yearly fees for BTech marine engineering is ?225000 which includes the tuition fees, hostel fees and other fees. The caution fees is ?20000 which is one time paid during the admission. The fees for every student is same, fees doesn't depends on category in this college.
