Highly recommended college for B.Tech Marine Engineering.
Placements: 100% of our batch students got placed by God's grace. We were all placed in the 3rd year of B.Tech marine engineering course, special thanks to our placement cell run by our CEO sir and principal sir. I got selected by Synergy, and my friends are placed at MOL, M.Sc. Synergy and VR Maritime.
Infrastructure: We have a ship on campus, where we get to see and operate all the live machinery that is available on board a ship. We also have a state-of-the-art facility, which is our virtual reality lab, where we have fully immersive ship visits. Apart from this, we have a swimming pool, sports turf and complex, air-conditioned classrooms, good hostels, etc.
Faculty: All our teachers are friendly, and they know what is to be taught to us and how to teach us. They also mentor us. We have a strong, healthy relationship with all our faculty members, they make the complex systems and concepts simpler. Semester exams are easy if we focus on the previous year's question papers.
Other: HIMT College is the leading institute in maritime training, and they offer what they promise. When we joined, they said they don't guarantee any placements but will provide placement opportunities, and today we are all placed, really grateful and thankful to HIMT.

My success story as B.Tech Marine Engineering Cadet.
Placements: 100 per cent of our batch students were placed in the 3rd year itself, and we all got the rank as TME. In the merchant navy, our starting salary is from 450$ to 750$. I got placed in Synergy, and my friends got selected for M.Sc. Synergy, MOL, VR Maritime. We are the first batch to get all placed in the 3rd year.
Infrastructure: We have about 14 acres of greenery-filled campus with all the advanced facilities like dedicated hostel blocks for girls and boys, swimming pool facilities, gym, sports turf for football and cricket, virtual reality labs, smart classrooms with AC, ship in campus and many more.
Faculty: Teachers were very helpful, they made us feel at home, they are all highly qualified and mariners with vast experience. Our curriculum was as per Indian Maritime University, and it was not too tough for us. The curriculum makes us industry-ready. Semester exams are not that difficult, we are all clear.
Other: HIMT does not charge much in fees, whatever we pay is worth it. At the end of the day, you have a job in hand, and what more do you want?

Highly recommended college for B.Tech Marine Engineering.
Placements: Our batch has 9 cadets, and we all get placed in the 3rd year. I am placed in one of the most reputed shipping companies, Mitsui OSK Lines, and my friends get placed in M.Sc. Synergy and VR Maritime. Our college gives all of us the proud opportunity to get placed in the 3rd year of B.Tech Marine Engineering.
Infrastructure: At HIMT College, nobody can beat the infrastructure. We have all the latest equipment and advanced technologies for maritime training. Whether it is digital innovation or physical equipment, HIMT College has it all, with smartboards and AC in all classrooms and labs.
Faculty: At HIMT College, we have experienced seasoned master mariners and chief engineers who share their immense knowledge and vast experience at sea. The entire team molds us to survive in any sea conditions. Faculty members are well-qualified and provide assistance at any time. They are our best mentors.
Other: I chose B.Tech Marine Engineering because I like to work with machines. It requires less physical strength, giving more chances to get placed.

HIMT College: Best college in India for merchant navy career.
Placements: Almost 80 percent of my batchmates are placed, including me, which is 100 percent of those who do not have arrears. Various shipping companies like MOL, Damico, MOLTA, BW Maritime, Marshall, and Eastaway visit our campus round the year and provide placement opportunities.
Infrastructure: HIMT has the best hostel facilities; 4 people share a room with bunk beds, and we have a good bond for that reason. We have individual study tables and shelves for storing our personal items. Our classrooms were air-conditioned classrooms with smartboards used by faculty members.
Faculty: Our teachers were the best role models; we learned quite a lot from them. We had experienced chief engineers and captains who not only taught us the syllabus but also built our personalities and confidence. They ensured we were ship-ready by the end of 4 years. They knew ship life was not the cup of tea for all, so they carved us properly for the actual requirement.
Other: We have intercollege events in all the semesters and it was fun participating in all those events.

HIMT college shaped my future.
Placements: We had several companies like MOLMI, Eastaway, MOLTA, BW Maritime, Marshall, Damico, and Dynacom Tankers come to college for our placements, as well as all the students who were all with these companies. The college also supported us in training for the interviews.
Infrastructure: We had well-equipped labs with the latest equipment for training and qualified professionals for training, so learning was very easy at HIMT. We also had virtual reality labs, which were top-notch. Classrooms were air conditioned and we had smart boards in classrooms for interactive sessions.
Faculty: Teachers were highly qualified, with seasoned chief engineers and master mariners. The course was articulated in such a way that we were ship-ready by the end of the course. Semester exams were conducted by IMU, and our faculty members discussed the previous year's question papers so that we had knowledge about the pattern of the paper.

Review of Hindustan Institute of Maritime Training (HIMT).
Placements: The placement program on campus is good; we have companies like MOL Management India, MOL Tankers, EAST-AWAY X-Press Feeders Pvt Ltd, etc., coming in. To be honest, not everyone will get placed on campus, but management tries its best to get everyone placed in companies, even after passing out. Currently, 50% of our batch is placed, hoping to achieve 100% placement before graduating from college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. We have centralized air-conditioned classrooms with smart boards. The equipment in labs helps us experience the theoretical knowledge we acquire in classrooms. The taste and quality in the mess are good. The variety in the menu changes regularly, so we can enjoy different options and not the same food every time. The network signal of certain sims is weak sometimes, but for others, it's good.
Faculty: The faculty that teaches either have many years of experience in sea life or experience in teaching that subject. The class includes both theory and visual (video) explanations of a topic, which helps us understand the topic properly. The course curriculum is designed to make students understand existing, past, and upcoming technologies in the industry. The semester exams are not difficult if we pay attention in class.
Other: Teaching on this campus is challenging due to strict rules that everyone must follow. Despite the strict rules, the campus is good. Connectivity is decent - we have to travel 10-15 km to watch a movie or go to a fancy restaurant, but RTC bus availability is frequent. Wi-Fi installation is possible as we operate everything digitally. Other facilities like the gym, swimming pool, etc., are good. Fests are conducted, and we are allowed to participate in other colleges' fests too.

HIMT for upcoming M. Navy Aspirants.
Placements: To be honest, the college doesn't provide 100% placements but is based on the availability of companies coming up in campus every year and management is working on it. A cadet being all clear in academics without arrear is undoubtedly able to get placement as each one of them are given several chances to sit in company interviews. Several top reputed RPSL companies have been visiting presently (PIL, MOL, Goodwood etc.), recruiting cadets and I am one among them who got placed.
Infrastructure: Campus is well-equipped with Basic Skill Workshop, Auxiliary Machine Workshop, Electrical Lab, Computer Lab, Electronics & Instrumentation Lab, VR Lab, Ship In Campus where a replica of the original ship is fitted and many more to have the greatest hands on experience. Presently, classes are made Air Conditioned too. Though the condition of hostel rooms are not up to the mark as expected. However being a trainee cadet spending years managing the rooms will surely make you fit for your future sea life. Food: Mess food is neutral with menu being balanced between North & South Indian foods. Canteen is available too. Medical facilities: Medical facilities are taken care by the wardens and if condition is out of their hand, cadets have to seek medical care outside on their own money. Sports & Games: College provides all the necessary items for sports and games and it's also equipped with a gym for the cadets.
Faculty: HIMT has one among the best Marine faculty members including experienced Chief Engineers, Captains and 2nd Engineers, Chief Officers and Workshop faculty members. All are highly knowledgeable in their field of study and is always engaged helping cadets with academics. Except this, Non Marine faculty members are also good and play an important role in the starting years for a cadet’s progress.
Other: Campus Life is hard as it's not like a normal college, but a Training Institute. There are strict rules and regulations which one has to follow or else end up with punishment. Though at the end of the day it helps in making oneself industry ready!
