Grateful to HIMT for helping me achieve my dream job.

Placements: I am really happy to share my experience at HIMT College. I have recently joined the Electro Technical Officer (ETO) course and have completed 2 months. Recently, I have given an interview for PIL and got placed in that company as an electrical cadet. The placement team and faculty guided me through the entire interview preparation process honestly, their support and guidance helped me achieve the job in a very short time.

Excellent college for GME.

Placements: About 80 percent 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.

It is a great learning environment with strong placement support.

Placements: I am part of the GME batch, placed in the Eastaway Shipping Company. Within 6 months, around 60–70% out of a batch of 40 students get selected. Companies such as Eastaway, BSM, Berge Bulk, and d’Amico were all selected as TME. At HIMT, if you have good academics and speak well, getting a placement is not difficult. The average package offered is $ 650–750 per month. Focusing on the basics and having good communication skills is the shortcut to placement.

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.
