B.Sc. in Nautical Science - Batch of 2020

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

A good place to develop your marine career.

Placements: When it comes to placements, the college sincerely tries to get their cadets placed. A company when it comes for recruitment, they are more interested in / expects a student to know the pure basic knowledge about the field. If you can convince the interviewer that you know what you're talking, one can easily get placed. 38% of the cadets from our batch are placed in companies like MOL, MOLTA, Goodwood, Chellaram, PCL etc. And 2-3 companies are yet to come.

Infrastructure: The college has a very good academic infrastructure which includes a ship in campus with working main engine and a bridge simulator, an accessible double bottom tank with man holes and sounding pipes, enclosed space, working accommodation ladder, watertight and weather tight doors etc. With all these you will have a good idea about what to expect on board a vessel. In case of accommodation I am not satisfied because some rooms are less spacious to accommodate 4 in a room.

Faculty: The college employs well experienced officers to take class for the cadets. The college is well concerned about the classes for the students, a good example is that when the authorities advised to suspend the classes due to COVID-19 they made provisions for online classes so that a student can attend the lecture while staying safe in home. Most importantly NO SLEEP during class hours which they strictly impose, truly speaking I myself find difficulties in following that.

Other: For recreational purpose the campus infrastructure includes a gymnasium, swimming pool and sport activities. In some of the reviews about the college I find statements such as " THE COLLEGE IS VERY STRICT" this is a truth, but then what do you expect from a marine college, because you can't afford a chap fooling around on board a vessel. This will affect the operation of that ship.
