The course is for brave hearts .

When you are promoted to fourth engineer in the ship it may vary from 1Lakh to 1.5Lakhs according to different companies and in which ship you are in, it also increases according to the promotions and reach upto 7lakhs or above per month. Top recruiting companies are synergy, feet management, torm etc. Each batch can get internship from different ports as they need.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in campus and library. The marine workshop in the campus is the third the largest workshop in asian. Classrooms are well maintained and ventilated. The new library is big and have different materials for the course. The library is also well maintained and air conditioned. There are three hostels in the campus. One of which is newly built and it include basketball and badminton courts inside of it. The food available in the mess is of average quality. Madical care is available in campus and doctor will be there in alternative days and the medicine are free. The campus promote sports and also take students to other campus for tournaments.

It is a good college for focused students.
Placements: All the students who don't have backlogs got placed from our college. The lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA, and we got placed on the basis of a contract. Maersk Line and SR Shipping are the companies which hire most of the students from our college. Marine engineers are the roles offered to us.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not good, but the interior is very good. Labs and hostels are very good and are furnished. The mess is very good, and the sports facilities are very good. There is a government hospital facility. So, there is no reason to not to be a part of this wonderful college as it has everything.
Faculty: Many of our teachers are graduated from IITs and NITs. They are highly knowledgeable and are very good in nature. They teach and explain everything very nicely. They have in-depth knowledge of the subject, so I think they are good teachers. So, this is a good thing for a government college.
Other: I always wanted to be a marine engineer, so I chose this course, and it is a government college. It has better placements than other IMU's. I wish that our college should reopen the canteen, which is closed due to some reasons. Events and fest are the best things about our college. Pyran is one of the famous fests, and the rest of all events are good. Scholarships are also provided to all good students and also intelligent students. Co-curricular activities are also very good.

I am dissatisfied because the value for money paid here is waste.
Placements: About only one-fourth of the students got placed in 3 different companies which visited the campus recently. All the 3 companies were average and offered almost the same initial salary packages. Due to more intake and less approaching of companies, the placement condition here is uncertain and diminishing over time.
Infrastructure: Our college provides good mess facility, but don't have a canteen. There is no specific place to play any sports or games. The medical facilities are quite average. Classrooms and labs are not well-equipped as well as infrastructure is not good enough for the value for the money paid. Hostel facilities are average, and the total area of the campus is approximately small.
Faculty: Faculty members of this college are not exceptionally qualified and knowledgeable as per for this course is required. This course curriculum is way too complex and futile and is not according to make students industry-ready. It is a waste of money.
Other: The marine engineering course here is not as good as any other private colleges. The extracurricular activities are sporadic and are not quite useful.

IMU is the best for studying marine engineering.
Placements: Placements are average. In the Maritime sector, there are very fewer demands for jobs, and if you go to any college, they are not giving 100% placement. In our college, around 60% of student were placed this year and an average salary offered is Rs. 40,000 per month.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is quite good. You will get all the facilities in a single place. Even the ship on campus is also available. Thus, you will get all the basic information about the ship in the land only, no need to go to the sea. All the sports courts are also available in the college.
Faculty: I am studying B.Tech in Marine engineering. Faculty members are highly educated. As in this Maritime field, we want training as well as academics. Discipline is quite important in our field, and this is what they are teaching us all the time. So that after passing out from here we don't have to face problems onboard.
Other: I like to explore the world, so I have chosen this field. It also provides a good salary so that I can fulfil my dreams.

Review of Indian Maritime University, Chennai- Mumbai Campus MERI.
Placements: The college provides 100% of placement in worldwide companies, mostly in Singapore and India, and students can try for off-campus interviews. The college is the best for marine engineering. There are many opportunities, promising jobs, and chances for qualified candidates. Thanks to the government of India for many improvements.
Infrastructure: The college provides facilities like Wi-Fi, library, sports, games, gym, workshops, external workshops, dockyard training, classroom, laboratories, engines, and lots of other things available around the campus.
Faculty: Faculty members and education are very good, even better-visiting faculty members and 100% of attendance is mandatory. Central University controls the course curriculum. India's government boost in transportation and shipping sector has provided a lot of fund for our college. The college provides world-class workshops and training.

IMU- Mumbai Port Campus; MERI- former DMET.
Placements: Placements from the year 2017 have improved by leaps and bounds. For the 2017 passout batch, there was a 100% placement; moreover some of the 3rd year cadets were also placed in 2017 already. So as you can see, even in the shipping line where placements are hard to find these days; we thrive to maintain our legacy.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not very consoling, there is a lack of space and proper playgrounds which causes us some trouble; yet there is a wonderful shoreline with a view to the open sea which is quite calming to the mind and feels very peaceful. As for the Wi-Fi is concerned, we have a pretty strong Wi-Fi in all hostels, library and other common areas. We have an online library open for access to all along with subscription to around 250 magazines relating to marine life, problems and the solutions which is very helpful for us.
Faculty: There are every kind of teachers here, ranging from very knowledgeable to not so very knowledgeable, yet one thung is for sure that they all put efforts into teaching us, not only the syllabus but also parade activities are taught by the warden himself which in this line are equally important as studies are.

If traveling and machines are your passion, choose merchant navy course.
Placements: The college started to offer B.Tech (ME) course in 2013. Till now, only two batches have been passed out. The first batch was passed out in 2017, and all the 36 students in that batch were placed. Companies like Dockendale, Selandia, Essar, fleet management, Home and Andromeda, etc., visit the college for placements. Similarly, the 2nd batch was passed out in 2018, and all the students of this batch were placed.
Infrastructure: The classrooms and labs such as electrical lab, thermodynamics lab, fluid lab, mechanics lab etc., are well-equipped. The college has a marine workshop which comprises of compressors, generators and various machines required in ships. The college also has an Olympic-size swimming pool.
Faculty: All the faculty members are highly qualified, and almost everyone is from the shipping industry. Some teach very well, but some don't have much teaching experience. They use projectors to teach so that we can understand the concepts easily.
Other: The college organises many events like poster making, debate, short movie making and skit. Prayaan is the official tech fest of our college and is one the biggest marine tech fests in India.

As the college is under central government, less placements done, no faculty available.
Placements: Last year the first B.Tech marine engineers first batch completed their course and as their strength was only 32 cadets so they all were placed mostly Science, essar, fleet, dockandale visit this college for placement the average salary is about 45000 rupees per month firstly all are placed as trainee cadet on ship.
Infrastructure: Hostels are very good, clean and tidy, Wi-Fi facility is available 24/7 hours. Food available in mess is also very good also in taste and also in quality also they include nonveg menu for 4 days. All game facilities are available like cricket, football, table tennis, swimming and also gym is good. Infrastructure is small and old campus. But it is located near to sea shore. Which makes it highlight the scenery.
Faculty: Faculty member here are less, the ones who are employed are well qualified they are from IIT's but their strength is not enough. Projectors are available for smart teaching. Also workshop is available but the least equipments are working. College don't get industry exposure. Portion is never completed. You have to do self study.
Other: Scholarships were offered till last year but now it is not available, the college is situated in almost remote area, annual functions are organised every year which is the most great event. Extracurricular activities such as singing, playing instruments, media etc. Is done.

Hello Gangu, Yes, 12th by NIOS is same as 12th by any board. Hence I see no difficulty for you in getting admission for marine engineering based on 12th by NIOS. However other eligibility criteria remain and you will have clear these.
