The best maritime college in South India for B.Sc. Nautical Science.
Placements: It was always a better choice to choose HIMT College for my career progress, as today I stand proudly in front of my parents with a job in hand as I pass out. I am placed in D'Amico, and so are my friends too. HIMT College really helped us a lot in training for the interview.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are well-equipped with air conditioning and smart boards. We also have the latest training aids for virtual reality modules on campus, which takes our training to a higher level as we are able to experience the theoretical things taught in class live in front of our eyes.
Faculty: Faculty members are good and friendly and they are also well experienced. As most of the faculty members stay inside the campus, we are welcome for doubt-clearing sessions. Faculty members train us to the best of the industry standards and make us industry-ready.

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.
