Graduate Marine Engineering (GME) - Batch of 2025

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

GME course from HIMT is a pathway to a successful career.

Placements: About 80% of students are placed in various shipping companies like MMSI, M.Sc., BSM, Damico, and Zodiac, all selected as TME. At HIMT, if you have good academics and speak well, getting a placement is not difficult. Focus on the basics and have good communication skills. That is the shortcut for placement.

Infrastructure: In the hostel, you get a sharing room space. You get your own bed, cot, pillow, and all covers, one study table and chair each, and one cupboard space. You also get all toiletries, uniforms, and books on campus. The fees are inclusive of all this. Mess is also provided, where you get meals three times a day and coffee and tea twice a day.

Faculty: The curriculum focuses more on Marine Engineering components with practical aspects and hands-on experience. We also get an immersive learning experience through the virtual reality modules developed in-house at HIMT by the Chief Engineers and Master Mariners. Faculty members are the best in terms of core job experience and are seasoned teachers who understand our depth and teach effectively.

Other: Campus life is more discipline-oriented to prepare us for the discipline required in offices onboard ships. We actually love being in uniform and being respected whenever we go out for shore leaves.

Graduate Marine Engineering (GME) - Batch of 2025

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Highly recommended college for GME in India.

Placements: I am very happy to complete my Graduate Marine Engineering course at HIMT and get placed in MMSI Shipping. Most of my friends get placed in reputed shipping companies like MMSI, Synergy, Damico, M.Sc., and BSM. All are selected for the post of TME, and the remaining who are not yet placed are lined up for interviews.

Infrastructure: We have various labs like the Basic Skills Workshop, where we do hot works, welding and gas cutting, fitting, plumbing, lathe, etc. We have an Auxiliary Machines Workshop with equipment like pumps, valves, air compressors, heat exchangers, purifiers, pistons, lines, crankshafts, etc. We also have a fully equipped Electrical Lab, an operational ship on campus, and a VR lab.

Faculty: Teachers have immense experience at sea, and they share with us the challenges and experiences they face at sea. They also mentor us so that we are fit for work at sea. The course curriculum is equally balanced between theory and practical, with more hands-on training experience.

Other: The campus is always active with events. Shipping companies and DGS officials frequently visit the campus.

Graduate Marine Engineering (GME) - Batch of 2025

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

I get placed in MMSI through HIMT after completing GME.

Placements: I do my Graduate Marine Engineering course from HIMT. I get placed in MMSI Shipping. I get an offer of $750 per month initially, and thereafter, upon completing COC exams, I will be earning around $2800 per month. In my batch, students are placed in Synergy, BSM, Zodiac, Damico Ship, and M.Sc. All get the role of TME, as that is where we start our career in the merchant navy.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are excellent. We have a world-class sports complex including a basketball court, football turf, cricket turf, pickleball courts, swimming pool, laundry service, separate hostels for boys and girls, a ship on campus, state-of-the-art virtual reality labs, and many more. The hostel can accommodate around 800 cadets.

Faculty: Semester exams are to the point, covering whatever is taught in class, and hence are not very difficult. They are a mix of subjective and objective questions. Our course curriculum has equal weightage for theory and practical hands-on experience. All our faculty members are master mariners and chief engineers who make us fit for the sea.

Other: I chose this course because it has good demand these days. HIMT has excellent placement records for the past few years in India. They also have sponsorship programs with many shipping companies.

Highly recommended college for B.Tech Marine Engineering.

Placements: 100% of our batch students got placed by God's grace. We were all placed in the 3rd year of B.Tech marine engineering course, special thanks to our placement cell run by our CEO sir and principal sir. I got selected by Synergy, and my friends are placed at MOL, M.Sc. Synergy and VR Maritime.

Infrastructure: We have a ship on campus, where we get to see and operate all the live machinery that is available on board a ship. We also have a state-of-the-art facility, which is our virtual reality lab, where we have fully immersive ship visits. Apart from this, we have a swimming pool, sports turf and complex, air-conditioned classrooms, good hostels, etc.

Faculty: All our teachers are friendly, and they know what is to be taught to us and how to teach us. They also mentor us. We have a strong, healthy relationship with all our faculty members, they make the complex systems and concepts simpler. Semester exams are easy if we focus on the previous year's question papers.

Other: HIMT College is the leading institute in maritime training, and they offer what they promise. When we joined, they said they don't guarantee any placements but will provide placement opportunities, and today we are all placed, really grateful and thankful to HIMT.

My success story as B.Tech Marine Engineering Cadet.

I got placed in Synergy, and my friends got selected for M.Sc. Synergy, MOL, VR Maritime. We are the first batch to get all placed in the 3rd year.

Infrastructure: We have about 14 acres of greenery-filled campus with all the advanced facilities like dedicated hostel blocks for girls and boys, swimming pool facilities, gym, sports turf for football and cricket, virtual reality labs, smart classrooms with AC, ship in campus and many more.

Faculty: Teachers were very helpful, they made us feel at home, they are all highly qualified and mariners with vast experience. Our curriculum was as per Indian Maritime University, and it was not too tough for us. The curriculum makes us industry-ready. Semester exams are not that difficult, we are all clear.

Other: HIMT does not charge much in fees, whatever we pay is worth it. At the end of the day, you have a job in hand, and what more do you want?
