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.

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.
