    Review of Hindustan Institute of Maritime Training.
    Placements: Right now, 20% of my batchmates are placed, and others still have 1 year left while companies are approaching. The package varies from $550–$1,000 per month. Top recruiting companies are MOL, Zodiac Maritime, Synergy, and Sanmar. All cadets are placed in the same role – Deck Cadets.
    Infrastructure: Classrooms are all air-conditioned. There are specific labs for every department. These include seamanship, engineering, welding, computer, electronics, electrical, and a virtual reality lab. All labs are maintained in proper condition. Specific instructors are appointed for separate labs. We have a turf, basketball court, badminton court, pickleball court, volleyball court, and gym. All are well maintained and can be properly accessed.
    Faculty: All teachers are helpful in academics as well as in preparing for interviews. They are all qualified to teach. The knowledge they provide is very good to learn from. The course is designed in a nice way so that we learn everything required in these 3 years. Regarding semester exams, there is nothing to worry about because we have enough time and resources to learn. The passing percentage is 50%. Faculty members are sailors who quit sailing and have joined the teaching profession. The knowledge of faculty members is quite high. We can learn a lot from them.

    In short, the college is for training competent and disciplined seafarers.
    Placements: The college provides a golden opportunity to a good number of cadets at the end of the 2 years by giving them opportunity in MOL. After that, many top-notch companies offer placements such as Zodiac, Molta, Ozelar, Onesea, etc. Now many new companies are opening doors for HIMT in the upcoming days.
    Infrastructure: The college has very unique infrastructure compared to other colleges. It includes a sports complex for basketball and football, as well as pickleball, two swimming pools, and, for educational purposes, a double-bottom tank for training cadets, and all this infrastructure has maintenance as per schedule.
    Faculty: The faculty here is world-class. They know where to guide the students, and they are the reason I cracked the placements in one shot. The number of captains and chief engineer training cadets are far more than any other institutions on the basis of training and also cadets have mock interviews from seniors for better guidance.
    Other: I chose the course for financial stability and I wanted a job that looks a bit adventurous, so why not the Merchant Navy. As far as I know, the B.Sc. and B.Tech batch consists of 80 cadets and DNS around 120, and other batches are ongoing which makes it around 900 cadets on campus. Also, the college conducts regular events and extracurricular activities to make students engage and get to know each other.
