Absolutely satisfied because of quality training and good placement in 2024.
Placements: Mainly female cadets are placed in good companies, and from a batch of 40 cadets, a total of 25-30 are placed in outside in-house placements, and the rest all are sponsored by GESCO (Great Eastern themselves). Overall, placement is 100%. Also, different kinds of courses are provided, and you will also meet cadets from different states, so a sense of different cultures is also being adapted to you all.
Infrastructure: A good view from rooms, a good playground, a good swimming pool, and good life-saving classes are provided in this college. Good faculty, good food, mess, and canteen are also nice. As compared to other colleges, this college is the best for training purposes.
Faculty: Strict faculty members, study is the most important thing that is to be taken care of. Semester exams are not that much difficult, but the course is new to us and vast, so we need some time to grab. And everyone can't do this course. Only cadets with passion and interest can do this course.
Other: I chose this course because I don't want to do a 9 to 5 job. As I am physically fit and a sportsperson, I usually research careers where I can indulge myself both mentally and physically. And finally, I got this career, which is best for me.

There are good faculty members and 100% placement records and elegant infrastructure.
Placements: The best part about GEIMS is its 100% placement record, which is true. Even if you fail in any subjects, then after clearing it, you'll get a placement for your internship/cadetship. Top companies like Tombs Shipping, Wallem Ship Management, Seaspan, Synergy, Gesco, Goodwood Shipping and many more visit here until you get placed.
Infrastructure: Our campus is elegant. Hostel rooms, labs, classrooms, library and canteen, are also elegant. The food served here is good, and the rooms are comfortable. There are plenty of games and amusement facilities like a gym, table tennis, etc. The best part here is that every Saturday, you can watch any movie in the auditorium on a big screen. But the worst thing is smartphones are not allowed inside the campus, so Wi-Fi facilities are not available.
Faculty: Very experienced captains and chief engineers are the faculty members here, so the knowledge shared by them is enough to pass exams and groom ourselves for the practical industry. You have to study a little hard atleast when exams are going to conduct shortly to pass them. Daily there is a time-restricted schedule, which you have to follow, and anyhow leaves are only provided on medical grounds.
Other: This course is offered with sponsorship, so your internship is secured. I wish smartphones should be allowed inside the campus. Games and few other extracurricular activities are part of campus life. The most exciting event organised here is Naughtica, which is an inter-college event.

Overall, the campus and the hostel facilities are good. Faculty are awesome and motivating.
Placements: The companies provide sponsorships through a process of online exam and interview. If you clear all the rounds of this placement process, they'll give sponsorship and full training. There are other reputed foreign companies like PIL, Seaspan, World Tankers, etc., who provide good placements. Overall, placements in our college are good.
Infrastructure: The college is more like a five-star resort. The housekeeping staff regularly clean the campus and cabins. Hostel rooms are cleaned every third day, and bedsheets are changed every Saturday. Classrooms are neat, clean, spacious and air-conditioned. I would rate 5 out of 5 for classrooms. The college library has world class books with a good management system. E-learning facility is also available here. The computer labs are also available for entertainment, and one can study well with the help of good speed of the network. Canteen looks good with good interior design, and it offers good food. Cleanliness is more emphasised here. I didn't face any issues during my tenure at GEIMS.
Faculty: All the faculty members of the college have the masters or chief engineer's degree. They are the best in their fields with a huge amount of knowledge as well as experience. The quality of teaching is good. They are very helpful. They usually teach using powerpoint presentations and videos. There is a system of watching Videotel safety video related to our course every alternate day. We got to go on a ship visit once. The industry exposure was really good as the faculty would share their experience with us. The course curriculum was very good.
Other: There is a scholarship programme for students who can't pay such a high amount of fees. We participated in many activities like Swach Bharat Abhiyan, educational fairs, sports activities and competitions, etc.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is awesome I am love with the surrounding Classroom are well maintained teachers are very helpful library consist of all types of book you can issue any of the book, big ground for sports and PT you can play any type of indoor and outdoor game Their is well-equipped dispensary in case of emergency its very helpful for Students mainly all necessary first aid items and medicine are available their.

Review of my career making institute.
Placements: The placements are 100% as we get the sponsorship before the commencement of the course. The great eastern shipping co. Ltd. takes all the students who do not get a chance in foreign companies. There is waiting period for joining internships, but in comparison to other companies, it is very short.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is excellent as the institute is known as the best maritime training institute in India. The locality in which the college is situated is excellent. The sight around the college is very beautiful, and fresh air is available. The food is good, and everything is awesome.
Faculty: The faculty is well-experienced. The things that they teach are very useful for the cadets to make their future good in the business. Especially, the vice principal of the college Capt. Philip John, and he is the master of navigation. In my opinion, he is the best at what he does.
