Himt is very good at Training, Faculty, Accommodation, placements.
Placements: About all the students who are good at academics got the placement with very good fresher package some of our batch got placed in ITF companies, Rpsl companies. I am one who got placed by the college, and I'm really happy with the package too.
Infrastructure: Compared to other colleges Himt gives very good hospitality and Food is good and all the basic facilities are there and it is located in peaceful atmosphere, library is good and all marine related stuff is available with internet connection, classrooms with digital learning.
Faculty: Faculty is helpful and very caring always gives you confidence to get a job. And administration also very good. The Workshops will make you ship ready, Instructors will teach you all the operations that you have to do onboard a ship, so that will help you on you the nearest future.
Other: At the beginning I felt confused and tense, but the faculty and wardens took care of me and I felt really comfortable, fests and events and happening will be there every month of the year.

I am satisfied with the college because of excellent faculty members and good placements.
Placements: I am not sure about placements percentage, but a good number of students got placed. I don't have much idea about the salary packages offered. Goodwood Shipping Management was the top recruiting company of our college. Students got internships in companies like Goodwood, Arka Global Marine Services and few more are yet to come.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college was very good. Many facilities were available on the campus like a ship on campus, swimming pool, playground, basketball ground, library, impressive classrooms and labs. The food served was very hygienic, and the best part of the college was its discipline.
Faculty: Teachers and practical instructors in our college were well experienced. They taught in a very impressive manner. Quality of education was very good. The course curriculum was relevant, and it makes students ready for the industry. Many activities are conducted in the college to make students more interested and motivated towards their career.
Other: I chose this course so that I could sail on ships because that's my passion. I want to be a successful seafarer. The best thing about this course is that it teaches us the basics of both deck and engine. So at the end of the course, we can examine ourselves and know which department we exactly fit. We can choose whichever department we are comfortable in.

Merchant Navy- Preparing for life.
Placements: Around 90% of my batchmates got placed in campus interview. Even after leaving the college, it was surprising that the placement team contacted the students who were not placed and offered them a chance to sit for interviews with other companies along with the exiting batch of students. Hence, definitely by now all my batchmates would have been placed and would be actively working onboard vessels.
Infrastructure: We lived in a dormitory. The dorm was huge and neat. The food was great along with other facilities. The only issue was that there was no Wi-Fi on campus as they wanted us to get prepared for the sea. The ship on campus is excellent and the labs are well maintained and huge.
Faculty: The teaching quality was great. The teachers were strict so as to train us for the ship. I didn't like the strict behaviour at that time but now I understand why they were strict as now it helps me in my professional life. The course was very relevant and the staff said what the important topics were which were mainly asked during placements.
Other: 1. I chose this course because I wanted to get into merchant navy. 2. The dorms could be fitted with AC since it gets little hot in summer. 3. Campus was very beautiful and lot of trees and greenery.
