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.

I will never recommend this college to anybody.
Placements: Placements are good. Frequently visited by companies. Good companies come to take students. Approximately 100 percent placement. Frequent VIP visits are there at the college. Good companies. Famous companies. Big and famous companies. Good placement.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. Good facilities in classrooms. Smart boards are provided for teaching. Nice infrastructure. Good infrastructure. Nice facilities. Nice cabins are allotted to the students. Cabins are good and comfortable. Attached washrooms and bathrooms to the cabins.
Faculty: Good faculty. Good teachers. Teachers give all their efforts to teach students. Anytime, ready to clear doubts. Anytime, ready to answer any questions from students. Hardworking faculty and teachers. Bad wardens. Rating is less just because of wardens; otherwise, faculty is good.
Other: The worst campus life you can ever live. I would never recommend this college to anyone.

Q:   What is the selection process for B Tech and what is the minimum 12th class percentage required?
A: 

The selection process for B.Tech programs can vary among different colleges and universities with some elements like Educational Qualification, Entrance Examination, Merit list, Interviews, Reservation Quotas etc.

Normally, we can get admission in private B.Tech colleges after passing class 12th but for getting admission in good/reputed University or colleges we have to give an exam called JEE Mains (Joint Entance Exam). According to the marks scored in this exam, we get placement in B.Tech colleges.

It is common for universities to set a minimum eligibility criteria, often ranging from 50% to 75% in the aggregate of the relevant subjects. But the minimum percentage required in the 12th class can vary from institution to intuition.
