It is the top college for marine studies.
Placements: The percentage of students who get placed is 40-60%. The highest package is 6 LPA and the lowest package is 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies like K Line, etc., visit the college for placements. Top roles offered are deck officers, captain, chief mater, second mater, third mater, marine engineers, chief engineer, second engineer, third engineer, and supporting staff positions like purser. 30-40% of students got internships.
Infrastructure: All the facilities are available like the library, labs, classrooms, etc. But one problem is the net connection is poor. The quality of the food is good. The hostel facility is average and a swimming pool is also available on our campus. Medical facilities, sports, and games are also available.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. Their teaching skills are good. It is mandatory to know English or else Tamil language. Students do not become ready for industry because of certain reasons like less internship for students. The total pass percentage is 60% and above.

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.
Infrastructure: Hostels are good and well-maintained, and classrooms and labs are available. The hostel food available is prepared with hygiene, but recently they changed the mess contract after I passed out.
Faculty: Teachers were awesome and very helpful, and there is no drawback in faculty members, curriculum, and exams. Everything is perfect. For exams, we are practically learning, and we just need to write them. It is not at all difficult.

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.
Infrastructure: The college provides good infrastructure. Almost every lab is available that is required for the marine stream. It is a good library with all the marine-related journals and magazines. There are no facilities like Wi-Fi, canteen, and medical facilities. Games facilities are good. We can play a lot of games. There is no swimming pool.
Faculty: The teachers are highly skilled and qualified. Even some teachers have sea-going experiences. They are highly knowledgeable and experienced. The course curriculum is very relevant. The college helps us prepare ourselves for the industry. Semester exams are not that difficult.

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).
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. It has three blocks, and the main block is for classes. The 2nd block is for practical labs, and there is also a model ship. It's an original one which is placed in our college, and we can learn well.
Faculty: All the faculty members are excellent, and there are the most experienced chief engineers from most companies. Students can work in industries and prepare well. The exams are not difficult if you study well, and the pass percentage is 40%.
Other: Marine engineering is the best.
