I am feeling proud to study in HIMT college, where the faculty members and batchmates are helpful.
Placements: As we are in the September batch of 2024, almost 50% of the cadets have been placed. Even if we pass out, they will call us when any company approaches the college. Top shipping companies like MAERSK, Zodiac, and Berge Bulk have come for recruitment so far. At the first sail, the role of ETO is trainee ETO.
Infrastructure: The ambiance of HIMT feels good and peaceful. Classrooms are provided with air conditioning facilities, and my college has a VR lab facility. Every week, there will be two periods for the library, and the books in the library are useful. Cadets from any state in India can have good food and feel good with the facilities of the hostel. Indoor and outdoor sports facilities are available, and we can play every evening.
Faculty: Yes, the teaching faculty members in HIMT College are very helpful, especially the ETO course faculty members. They are very friendly and have both knowledge and practical experience, so they help us score good marks. They provide us extra coaching for placements when the companies come for recruitment, and they take responsibility for every individual student to improve in both academics and communication.
Other: As of now, ETOs have good demand in the marine industry. I chose this valuable course and this valuable training institute. The demand for ETOs is even increasing because ME engines are coming into play in the future.

The college is incredible.
Placements: The college has an incredible placement record, and they are maintaining it well. All of the students in my batch were placed, and some of them were even sponsored. The companies that hire HIMT cadets include MAERSK LINE, BSM, MSC, GOODWOOD, and MARSHALL.
Infrastructure: The college is located in kalpakkam Tamilnadu, and the campus is very clean and neat. The infrastructure is quite good, and they have electrical, electronics, automation, and virtual reality labs. There is also a ship in the campus facility, which provides students with more practical knowledge. The hostel is good, but the climate in Chennai is very hot and humid, which can make it difficult to sleep. Overall, all is good and stable.
Faculty: The faculty are very good and supportive, and they are experienced. They take extra classes for placements, even using their own time. The semester exams are a bit tight, and the evaluation is strict, so you need to study well to get good marks.

Best college in South India (Hindustan institute of maritime training, HIMT).
Placements: In our batch, 35 students were enrolled, and 26 of them were placed during their studies. The two-year fee for the ETO program was around 3 lakh rupees, and it may have increased since then. However, the college does offer scholarships for students. The college also has good placement opportunities, with top companies like MEARSK, MSC, Synergy, D-Manico, Marshall, Scorpion, Thomee, Evergreen, and Anglo-Eastern coming to recruit students. Of the students who were placed, 26% got internships with MSC, Marshall, and Maersk, while 68% were placed in permanent positions. Additionally, the college offers scholarships to toppers in higher studies and degrees.
Infrastructure: This college has the best infrastructure. The classrooms are air-conditioned, and the labs provide training that is the same as what you would find on a ship. The campus even has a ship that students can use to practice their skills. The Wi-Fi is only available in the computer labs and classroom monitors, and the network can be slow at times. The library is well air-conditioned and has a wide selection of books, including study materials and books about life. The hostel is good but not air-conditioned.
Faculty: The faculty are dedicated to helping their students succeed. They make sure the students are prepared to work in difficult situations on board ships. The semester exams are easy, and the students are able to excel because of the excellent teaching they receive.
Other: I'm an electrical engineer who joined the ETO course at HIMT. The course is only four months long, but I wish it were six months or a year. HIMT celebrates all the festivals, but they concentrate on Hindu festivals. They provide scholarships to students who excel in higher studies.
