B.Tech. in Marine Engineering - Batch of 2023
3.6
Food and hygiene are a bit of an issue.
Placements: Almost 70% of cadets got placements across the world. The highest salary package offered is 5LP, A and the lowest salary package offered is 3LPA. Cadets were recruited by sponsorship exams on behalf of the college. Roles are mostly offered to B.Sc. like NCC etc., and NCC cadets were bit ease in every matter and a parade contingent also formed for cadets who are willing to do a parade on republic day in marina beach on behalf of the college, and all things are taken care of by college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good modern workshops for all courses, good faculty members, and classrooms. The library is also there containing marine-related books and practice papers. Facilities like basketball ground, football ground we can in the evening, and good quality are not up to mark especially for north Indians canteen food is good for everyone and its cheap too. Sports like basketball, football, and volleyball were played every day.
Faculty: The teaching faculty is good and qualified in my term. The course curriculum is relevant, and it does make to join the marine industry. Semester exams are hard before model exams are conducted so, that we can get an idea of how hard the semester exams are going to be. The pass percentage is 96%.
Other: I am pursuing B.Tech in marine engineering, and our contains almost cadets from every state who took admission. Of course, it's good specifically, teaching and workshops and specified ship on the campus for more acknowledgment in vessels. Improvements should be on lab assistants should be changed or introduced better. It is completely a boy's hostel and campus for now. Events celebrated like the new year or other events. And extracurricular activities like for B.Sc. . especially NCC facility given to cadets who pursue B.Sc. . in this college about our passing batch we accompanied by good seniors and officers till now.

There is no placement and infrastructure. They don't issue certificates, and management is fake.
Placements: There are no placements. Everything depends on students' struggle. They stand in front of shipping company offices and fake agents, and they have paid a huge fee, like 4 lacs to 6 lacs. There is no placement cell at all.
Infrastructure: Our college provides stinking mattresses and pillows. Water is available only for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. There is no proper drinking water. Food is prepared unhygienically, and it doesn't have any taste. It is made up of low-quality vegetables and pulses. There is no Wi-Fi and medical facilities.
Faculty: Faculty members of our college don't follow a particular syllabus. Whatever they teach doesn't come in the semester exams. The paper evaluation process is far beyond the worst. There is no particular procedure for revaluation.
Other: I completed B.Tech in the marine engineering batch in 2014-2018. It took two years for the college and the university to issue my degree and other mark sheets even when I cleared all the exams without any arrear in July 2018.

Good college with full enjoyment.
Placements: According to me, it is one of the best college for maritime engineering when it comes to placement opportunities. Some top companies like shipping corporation of India etc use to come. Packages go till 17 Lacs per annum. Campus also give lots of internship opportunities.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the college is also very good. It provides all the facilities like Wi-Fi, well-maintained library, sports ground, medical facilities and many more. As the college is in Chennai, South Indian dishes are good but North Indian is tasteless. But overall infrastructure is good.
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable. Course is very tough but because of good teaching style of the teachers in the academy, it makes us to learn and retain the things. They are just superb. They are helpful and friendly as well. The course is excellent and relevant.
Other: I love maritime so I opted this field. Events are also very good. Crowd is also good.

Overall, our college is good, but the only problem is our college does not provide any placements.
Placements: Our college doesn't offer any placement opportunities. You can find a job through an agent or a reference. You can also walk-in directly to the company and crack the interviews. If you don't have any sources or references, you have to pay 3 to 4 lakhs to the college or agents to join the ship. Job opportunities are not that good here.
Infrastructure: Our campus has everything according to DGS requirements. The infrastructure includes an on-campus ship, bridge room, engine room simulator lab, swimming pool, mechanical lab, electrical lab, GP marine maintenance shop, seamanship lab, hostel building, DNS marine maintenance shop, etc.
Faculty: Faculty members are a mixed bag here. Some are good, and some are bad. Faculty members of the marine department are really good to teach marine concepts, and the faculty members who teach other subjects are average. Our faculty members are well experienced and have good marine service records. IMA offers a 4-year B.Tech degree in marine engineering, 3-year B.Sc. in nautical science, one-year DNS, and a 6-month GP rating course, etc.

Faculty members are good, but the placements are poor.
Placements: The college doesn't provide any placement opportunities. You can only complete the course in this college; you have to find a job on your own. You can find a job through an agent, or the college will take money and provide you with a job opportunity. Or if you are talented enough, then you can go to the company and crack the interview rounds. If you are lucky, then you will get a job. Otherwise, you should have a reference to get a job.
Infrastructure: There are four buildings in the name of infrastructure. One of the buildings is allotted for the hostel. Rest other buildings are allotted for academic purpose, and even some floors are allotted for hostel facility. You have to suffer for water, food, and electricity facilities because all these facilities are very poor. There is no Wi-Fi facility. Classrooms are under CCTV surveillance. There are a library and canteen in a building.
Faculty: All faculty members in the college are good. If your behaviour is not that good, then you have to face many problems. Some faculty members are available only for some time, and they teach less. But they want more from you. The course is not completed on time. Faculty members here are not as good and experienced.
Other: The college is located very far from the city.

Merchant Navy life style.
Placements: There are no placements on the campus. You can get placements by an agent or from college head office by paying more than three lacs for a good ship. All the pass out cadets do not get the job. They have to apply for the job from outside the college either from Mumbai or Chennai from the agents of various shipping companies. The agent's demand lacks the requirement of a good ship. Our college's head office is at T. Nagar, Chennai, and it takes money from students for the job in a good ship to sail out.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure on the campus is good. All the workshop equipment is available to perform all the experiments. In our campus, there is a ship which has a 4 stroke diesel engine and various auxiliary machines in a beautiful building. All the buildings on the campus are white. There is also a canteen on the campus. There is a mess in our college, but it provides average food 3-times a day, and they also provide food including evening snacks. There is one hostel building with eight floors. Students of all courses live in the same hostel block. Our college also provides other facilities like a swimming pool, basketball court, cricket ground, and football ground.
Faculty: Our college has renowned faculty members. All the officers are available on the campus from the deck to the engine. Captain and chief engineer are also there to provide good education to students about the ship. Some of the junior faculty members are hired from Anna University, and all the senior faculty members are mariners.

Overall, this type of institutions should be properly inspected on a regular basis.
Placements: Placements are not provided to students in the college, but the management says that companies will visit the campus for placements, but no one visits the campus to hire the students. Students are suffering a lot after the competition of their course. The students are paying a big amount of fee varying from 2 to 8 lacks depending on shipping companies to the agents to get a ship. During these works, many students are getting cheated by the agents.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is average. Hostel facilities are good. The quality of the food in the mess is good. Shipping campus looks good, but they won't provide practical knowledge for the students in shipping campus as it should be improved. Seamanship lab is also not that standard.
Faculty: Faculty members in the college are not okay and not very good. Some faculty members are very good, and some are in below standards. The management is recruiting freshers to teach extra subjects. The main subject faculty members are good, but the lab faculty members are not that standard as they just pass the time. They are not provided good practical training to students.
Other: The college fee is too high as they are money seekers. They impose the common fine on students, and they blackmail the students for getting certificates.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of fake promises of placements.
Placements: There are no campus placements. Fake promises are made to all students. The final degree certificate has not been given to the pass out candidates of the 2010-2013 batch, and students are suffering till now. No company is recruiting IMA candidates. It is a total fraud placement wise. They charge too many fines from students during the academic session.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. But there is no Wi-Fi and canteen facility. A swimming pool is available, and classrooms are in good condition. Hostel facility is also good, and the mess is big and good, but the food is average. The hostel rooms have a capacity to accommodate 4 people per room with separate cupboards. There are long corridors in the 6 floor building.
Faculty: The faculty members are helpful and well-educated. They are well-qualified and cooperative, and especially the workshop staff are very good. Faculty teach the students in all manners, with the help of projectors, labs, etc. They also help the students in all manners.
Other: Events and fests are not conducted in the college.
