Graduate Marine Engineering (GME) - Batch of 2026
4.8
A good option for B.Tech mechanical engineers with the help of IMEC we can get a job easily.
Placements: I am studying Graduate Marine Engineering (1-year course after completing a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering). After completing mechanical engineering, the best option is to enter the merchant navy career. The placement is excellent compared to other marine institutes. For GME there are batches fully sponsored by IMEC companies. So before joining the college we have a job in our hands.
Infrastructure: In our college, the lab facilities are very good where we can see all the machinery and we can learn things easily. Classrooms are fully air-conditioned. The hostel facility and food are also very nice. All kinds of sports activities, a good gym, and a swimming pool are also available.
Faculty: Faculty are very experienced. They are chief engineers, and second engineers. We can learn a lot from them. They also share their experience. We can easily know what we are going to do on board and we can prepare accordingly. There are two semesters for GME followed by 6 months of training on board.

5.0
It is an excellent college with great facilities and infrastructure.
Placements: 80% are placed in my course. The highest package offered is $750, the lowest package is $350, and the average package is $500. Top recruiting companies are Zodiac, MOL, Vridhi, Ozellar, and Genco. Captain is the top role offered in my course. 80% of students got internships from my college.
Infrastructure: AC classrooms, cricket turf, football turf, V.R room, seamanship lab, MEK lab, AMW lab, ship on campus, library, hostel rooms with attached bathroom, canteen are available. A room with an attached bathroom, dispensary, and ambulance facility is available. Galley food is nutritious and overall good.
Faculty: Captain, chief officer, chief engineer and other level experienced officers teach and share their knowledge with us. They are helping and very supportive. College rules and regulations shape us by making time punctual and following the instructions given, and time-to-time fire drills and regular muster are being conducted.

Other: I chose it because it was a childhood dream to join the merchant Navy. Ganapati puja, Diwali, Holi, Onam, and all other festivals are celebrated.

Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS) - Batch of 2026
3.4
The college provides a disciplined environment with limited exposure to outside life.
Placements: For the Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS) course, students require sponsorship from a shipping company before enrollment. I was sponsored by Synergy Maritime for the role of deck cadet. HIMT College mainly provides training for sponsored cadets. It does not play a direct role in placements for DNS cadets. The course fee is around 5 LPA for the one-year DNS course. Other companies like Zodiac Maritime, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Seaspan Corporation, and GENCO recruit B.Sc. cadets. Placement details for other courses are as follows. B.Sc Nautical Science has around 75% placement. B.Tech Marine Engineering has around 90% placement. GP Rating has around 0–5% placement. ETO – placement is uncertain and luck-based. GME has around 80% placement
Infrastructure: HIMT has a modern but small campus. It has five hostel buildings, out of which four are old and badly maintained, while one is well maintained. Wi-Fi is not available. Classrooms have smart boards and air conditioning. The library is very bad, with no air conditioning and inadequate seating. Food quality is decent. Along with South Indian cuisine dominating the menu. Sports facilities are decent, and medical facilities are limited.
Faculty: Teachers are decent and have good practical knowledge and teaching skills. HIMT invites visiting faculty members with years of sea experience to familiarize students with life at sea. Smart boards are used for interactive teaching. Teachers are strict and focus strongly on discipline. The course curriculum is highly relevant and follows IMU guidelines strictly, which helps make students industry-ready. Exams are fairly easy, with almost a 100% passing percentage in DNS.
Other: The DNS course is one of the fastest and easiest ways to become a merchant navy officer. Campus life is limited, and fests are almost non-existent. Most events are competition-based rather than talent-oriented. The campus surroundings are decent with good natural scenery, but the college is far from the main city. Extracurricular activities are very limited.

Faculty: Teachers are really helpful when it comes to academics and other things, also, they're well qualified in the marine field. Teaching quality is amazing. Semester examination difficulty is moderate, and the examination is conducted by IMU ( Indian Maritime University). The pass percentage for examination is 50%.
Other: I chose this course because I was inspired by a friend of a relative. Best thing about this course is that everything you learn is new. More practical classes and more VR ( virtual reality) labs could do more in learning and teaching rather than theoretical classes. They celebrate every cultural festival and conduct college events to promote curricular activities, participate in inter-college festivals (e.g., Navagati, Nautica ), and the campus surroundings are pretty environmentally friendly.

Fully satisfied with college because of the good faculty members & good placement records in 2026.

Infrastructure: HIMT is having world-class infrastructures like a ship on campus, VR labs, AC classrooms, sports complex, which includes football and cricket turf, basketball court, volleyball court, pickleball court, MEK labs, AMW lab, SS lab, library, etc. The quality of the hostel is very good and has attached bathrooms, a study table, sufficient light and space.

One thing that can be improved is increasing practical and onboard training opportunities so students can gain better real-time industry exposure. The college conducts many intra-college competitions and other extracurricular activities and marine competitions, which help students to improve their teamwork and leadership qualities.
