Asia's top maritime college.

Placements: About my course, it's a one year course in which we complete our pre-sea training in college and 18 months on-board ship. Also, in our batch, all got placed in the world's largest shipping company, M.Sc. And many companies are visiting and giving more placement opportunities to our college students.

Infrastructure: About infrastructure, it was very spacious and green campus. Everything that we had, like a hostel room, swimming, computer lab, Seamen ship lab, was built with world-class technology, and they have a VR simulator which made us learn with real-life situations.

Faculty: Teachers from our campus are highly educated, qualified and experienced, with them, we gained more knowledge which helps us to survive in any worse condition in our shipping life. Also they do have a feedback system in which if we feel like not understanding, we can tell them so that they'll help us to give more solutions and help us to learn more easily.

Right place to do your DNS.

Placements: I recently completed the DNS course from HIMT College. I found it to be a very valuable experience. If you want to join the Merchant Navy, this is one of the ways. To join this course, you have to give the IMUCET exam, then you have to take sponsorship from companies like Synergy, Fleet, VR, etc. Only then can you join this course. The placement is 100% for this course because you are already sponsored when you join the course. The starting package will be from $500 to $600. It will increase when you get promoted.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of HIMT College is far better than other maritime institutions. We have VR labs where we can get a better understanding of ship structure. There are also different types of labs like SS, MEK, Electrical, and Automation. We have a SIC (ship in campus) in our campus. All classes have smart boards. AC classrooms are there. Hostel facilities are also better; rooms are in good condition with attached bathrooms. Four-seater rooms are there for the DNS course.

Faculty: Faculty members at HIMT are something different. Being away from home, I never felt sad because of them. Our faculty members train us to be the best of the best by sharing their immense knowledge and mentorship. My favorite faculty in HIMT is Capt. Vasanth Sir and VG Sir.

Other: HIMT is simply a mind-blowing campus. We love it here in all aspects.
