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.

For B.Sc., salary starts from 550 USD per month and goes up to 18000 USD per month. Every year, HIMT gives 100 percent of placements to shipping companies.

Infrastructure: We have various labs like the ship-in-campus where we learn practically about starting the main engine, auxiliary engine, and paralleling of generators, etc. Classu0131 AC rooms, and we have a library. In my hostel, it is well cleaned with good ventilation, individual bathrooms, and theatre facilities. Cooling drinking water is also provided. In the college, the menu changes every week. Nutritious food is provided. 24/7 medical facilities are available. Sports like cricket, football, basketball, pickleball, and gym facilities are well-maintained.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and qualified as well, and they are also knowledgeable. It makes us quite p. the job. Exams are moderate, but the teachers and faculty of HMT make every effort for the students, and they make us prepare well. The faculty here makes you feel at home, with discipline added.

Other: I chose this course because I want to join the merchant navy. The course is 100 percent perfect. We have a number of events in every semester, and we enjoy all the festivals like Diwali, Onam, Ganesh Chaturthi, and all.

All you want for a Maritime College.

Placements: I am very satisfied with the placements from this college. I am placed in MOL Maritime India (MOLMI) with 9 other batchmates. Many other top shipping companies like Zodiac, Molta, Genco, ONE, Sanmar, etc., are recruiting students from this institute. No worries about your placements.

Infrastructure: You will get to experience a high-quality infrastructure, including air-conditioned classrooms with smart boards.

Excellent Maritime Institute in India.

Placements: In my batch, 33% of students are placed. Companies such as PIL, BSM, and WAH KWANG visited. Many more companies are expected to come for future placements. The packages offered to cadets depend on the companies, but the salaries are as per the standard market. Overall, HMIT provides the best learning experience for future growth.

Infrastructure: I really like the infrastructure in the college. It provides everything needed for ETO. Classrooms are air-conditioned and comfortable. The college has practical labs. They provide good hands-on experience and help me understand the subjects well. There is a ship-in-campus facility and a library. The campus always remains neat and clean. The accommodation cabins are good. The food in the galley is decent. Medical support is available whenever required.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. Sharing their knowledge helps me strengthen my understanding of each subject. This helps me further grow my career. They follow strict adherence to international safety standards and practical, hands-on mechanical know-how. The caliber of the instructors plays a direct role in cadets' placement and exam success.
