Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS) - Batch of 2024

Good faculty, good environment of the college, placement not good, food also not good.
Placements: There is no opportunity for placement. They only focus on girls' placement. I scored 77%, but I didn't get a single opportunity from the campus. They just said companies will come but our course is only for boys, yet we didn't see a single company. All the companies came for B.Sc. They just told us to give exams for formality. Everyone knows that companies will not take DNS.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, classrooms, library are good; hostels are of good quality, but food is not good. The environment of the campus is good. Good wardens, friendly students, everything good; the perfect hostel life I lived on this campus. I will never forget this experience.
Faculty: The teachers were very helpful. Most teachers were captains in merchant navy and navy. They are very knowledgeable and they tried their level best to make students ready for the industry. Exams are a little difficult but they teach us very well. The minimum percentage is 50%.
Other: DNS course is for one year, so I chose it. Extracurricular activities also happen, like Navigati 2024.

Best campus for maritime studies.
Placements: In DNS, there are about 120 students, out of which more than half have already been placed or sponsored, and the rest are given priority even after passing out from the campus. The faculties are well-trained with sailing experiences, and visiting faculty members are currently working in the industry. After the course, you can join a ship as a deck cadet, where you'll learn and get trained to be a better seafarer.
Infrastructure: All the basic facilities are available on the campus like Wi-Fi, library, digital classrooms, swimming pool, sports ground with all the necessary requirements. The hostels are quite comfortable with a sea-facing view. The college also provides medical facilities with a doctor, and the food is above average.
Faculty: The faculties are best in class with 15+ years of sailing experiences, and the teaching is both theoretical and practical. The semesters are conducted twice with 2 mid-terms in each sem. The difficulty level is not too difficult if you attend the classes. The admission process is quite simple; you just have to clear the IMUCET entrance and then enroll for counseling, that's it.
Other: The main reason for choosing this campus is because it's a government campus with very good face value in the industry. Also, there are various fests, sports, and other activities conducted by the campus. Additionally, the scholarship for girls and OBC, SC, ST students gives them the chance to come up and pursue the career. The only issue is the language barrier with the neighborhood for the North Indians.
