Compared to other institutes, they provide good placement and training.

Placements: I was placed in the BSM company within 3 months of joining the course. In my batch, 75% of cadets were placed in many different companies within the 1st semester period. Others were shortlisted for other companies and were waiting for selection. They also handle IMEC batches.

Infrastructure: They provide good stay cabins, classrooms are well ventilated with air conditioning, and practical work. They have a good basic skill workshop, Auxiliary Machines Lab, VR Lab, and a Ship in Campus, which are well maintained. For other sports activities, they have football and cricket turf, a gym, volleyball court, and basketball court.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are from the marine field and the Navy. So they have vast knowledge of the subjects in both lectures and practicals. Lab instructors help us with hands-on experience of machinery like on a ship. Our course duration is 1 year, which is divided into two semesters, and the syllabus is covered completely.
