The best maritime college in South India for B.Sc. Nautical Science.
Placements: It was always a better choice to choose HIMT College for my career progress, as today I stand proudly in front of my parents with a job in hand as I pass out. I am placed in D'Amico, and so are my friends too. HIMT College really helped us a lot in training for the interview.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are well-equipped with air conditioning and smart boards. We also have the latest training aids for virtual reality modules on campus, which takes our training to a higher level as we are able to experience the theoretical things taught in class live in front of our eyes.
Faculty: Faculty members are good and friendly and they are also well experienced. As most of the faculty members stay inside the campus, we are welcome for doubt-clearing sessions. Faculty members train us to the best of the industry standards and make us industry-ready.

One of the best maritime college in India.

Infrastructure: HIMT College provides better infrastructure compared to any other college. The faculty present at the college are very experienced. The food is very good as compared to other colleges. We have ships on campus, steering simulator labs, virtual reality labs and many more.

A good place to develop your marine career.
Placements: When it comes to placements, the college sincerely tries to get their cadets placed. A company when it comes for recruitment, they are more interested in / expects a student to know the pure basic knowledge about the field. If you can convince the interviewer that you know what you're talking, one can easily get placed. 38% of the cadets from our batch are placed in companies like MOL, MOLTA, Goodwood, Chellaram, PCL etc. And 2-3 companies are yet to come.
Infrastructure: The college has a very good academic infrastructure which includes a ship in campus with working main engine and a bridge simulator, an accessible double bottom tank with man holes and sounding pipes, enclosed space, working accommodation ladder, watertight and weather tight doors etc. With all these you will have a good idea about what to expect on board a vessel. In case of accommodation I am not satisfied because some rooms are less spacious to accommodate 4 in a room.
Faculty: The college employs well experienced officers to take class for the cadets. The college is well concerned about the classes for the students, a good example is that when the authorities advised to suspend the classes due to COVID-19 they made provisions for online classes so that a student can attend the lecture while staying safe in home. Most importantly NO SLEEP during class hours which they strictly impose, truly speaking I myself find difficulties in following that.
Other: For recreational purpose the campus infrastructure includes a gymnasium, swimming pool and sport activities. In some of the reviews about the college I find statements such as " THE COLLEGE IS VERY STRICT" this is a truth, but then what do you expect from a marine college, because you can't afford a chap fooling around on board a vessel. This will affect the operation of that ship.
