I would recommend joining this college for curriculum, practical classes, and new experiences.

Placements: I am a BE marine engineer in our batch. There are 80 cadets, and out of 80, only a single student got placed in a company through placements. So, placements are very poor. If you join this college, you have to arrange for a job, and then you can join this college.

Overall, it's a very good college.

Placements: The placements are not that good. Only 2 students got placed in my batch. That's not the fault of our college, but it is due to covid-19. The top recruiting companies are MOL Tankship Management, K-Line Shipping Management Pvt., Ltd., etc. The top role offered is senior cadet captain.

The college is good in every aspect.

Placements: For every batch, they'll take only 80 students for this particular course. The highest package was 3 LPA, and the lowest package was 2.2 Lacs per annum. There were a few internships. The top courses were BE (bachelor's of marine engineering) and B.Sc. (bachelor's of nautical science).

Placements: I am a student of B.E Marine Engineering. And talking about the placement, there is very poor placement record in our college as present scenario of our field is very bad.

Recommending this college at the rate of 80% for day scholars and 65% for hostellers.

Placements: The college is not just like engineering colleges to hook you up with a job via placements. Once you finish your course, it is your own ability to suit yourself further. An average of 70% to 80% students gets through the final year. Anyhow, the students who entered the college through counselling may get around Rs. 1,000 to 2,000 as a stipend I guess, and I am not aware of the current scenario as you can only get through NEET exams.
