I'm absolutely satisfied with college.
Placements: 60% of students have a chance of placement in this course. There is no such package or something, they provide campus interviews, then select trainers for big shipping companies and shipyards. 100% of students get their internships in this institution only.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our department. They provide free Wi-Fi in the classrooms. There are electrical labs, computer labs, workshops for engine practicals, fitting, welding, and lathe machinery. In the hostel, the food is poor, but the rooms and bathrooms are good.
Faculty: Every teacher in our institute is very helpful and teaches well. Their teaching quality is great. The teachers of our institute are well-qualified and well knowledgeable. This course makes students industry-ready. Exams are a little tough, but teachers taught us well, so it's like easy for us.
Other: I chose this college for my dream. My dream is to become a sailor. I wish the food in our hostel were a little more good. There are no such events here, this is a central government college, so there is no party, we have only small events.

Find some other college to study.
Placements: There were no placements in our college. None of our seniors got placed in the college placements, and now, they are jobless. Some of them were changed to other courses after completing this course. Most of them are bank employees now. Better find some other college as this is a waste course. None of the roles was offered to the placed students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure facilities of our college are good. Hostel facilities are average. There are no Wi-Fi and medical facilities. Library in the college was good. The canteen in our college is also good. There are a lot of infrastructure related issues. Quality of labs is poor. There are sports and games. Classrooms are good.
Faculty: Teachers in our college were not at all helpful and qualified. Some of them don't know anything about the subject. There is no industry exposure. No special teaching methods are used to teach. The student to faculty ratio is very low. Teaching quality is also poor.

Other: It’s a central govt. institute. It conducts mainly three courses. A four year degree course and two year course. CIFNET mainly focuses to impart knowledge through practical experience. It is mandatory to attend every student to take part in 100 days of sea experience. The main aim of CIFNET is to supply manpower to vessel. It has an own vessel of MV Prashiksahani and well facilitated gear hall etc. are there.

Review of the Central Institute of Fisheries Nautical and Engineering Training.
Placements: It is a government institution, so the cost is low. Every year, 20 students are enrolled after taking the entrance exam. After completion of the course, we are called for experience as Junior Deck Cadets according to the rank we get after the final exam. Based on our performance, we may get selected to work on the institute’s vessel.
Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are average, but the structure is very good. Two trainees are allotted one spacious room. Each floor has common bathrooms.
Faculty: Teachers are good and they do their best. However, there is a lack of faculty. Exams are not that hard. I think the course should be more focused on aviation rather than net ending, and there is a course I think is irrelevant called Engineering Drawing, but it may be needed in the future. The course is Vessel Aviation. It provides basic knowledge of aviation, safety, and net ending. Teachers are highly qualified and have years of experience.
Other: It is an average course that anyone can study. You only need to be 10th pass. I think there should be more faculty.

Absolutely satisfied and good.
Placements: 160–170 students get placed across all India branches of CIFNET, which are in Kochi, Chennai, and Visakhapatnam. The highest package is Rs.24,000, including hostel fees and swimming fees, and the lowest is Rs.8,000. Cochin Shipyard collaborates with Kochi CIFNET. Internships involve sailing days on vessels, and every student gets a chance to go on vessels. Students have to choose one side, either the deck side or the engine side.
Infrastructure: The college has the best infrastructure as they recently built and painted the whole campus. The college has a smart class, which is the best part because it consists of smart TVs that help us get more information. There is Wi-Fi, computer labs, a library, a fishing gear hall, and a workshop. The hostel food is good but not worth the mess bill, and there is no proper gym.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching experience is great, and they ensure that students understand things properly. It makes students ready because of the experience on the vessel during sailing. There are no semester exams, only internal exams, practicals, and computer-based tests at the end of each year.
Other: I want to study in the marine line, that's why I chose this course. Things like conducting regular classes. There are no events, but they celebrate festivals like Pongal, Onam, etc. They also conduct the Swachh Bharat campaign at the end of each month and in whole October.

It is a good college with a rare course, and there are many courses for students who like sailing.
Placements: Only 16 students in the vessel navigator course out of 20 were placed. The fee charges are Rs. 15,000 per annum. Our college offers good courses like navigator marine, fitter B.F.Sc, fishery courses, and nautical science.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available and labs are excellent. Classrooms are good and the library is extraordinary. The hostel is neat and clean and serves Kerala food. Sports are also good as they provide training also. The canteen food is good, and there is nothing to dislike.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, knowledgeable, and qualified. The teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are good as long as you study. Teachers will take your class.
Other: I opted for this course because my uncle who is a captain recommended this course. I wish that better placements are provided in this course. Events, fest, and surroundings are perfect.
