Q: Does IMU Kochi offer MBA course?

Yes, IMU Kochi does offer MBA courses for the duration of two years and offered in full-time mode. The campus offers two specialisations in MBA courses, i.e., International Transportation & Logistics Management and Port & Shipping Management. To get admission into these courses, candidates are required to ensure that they have completed the basic eligibility criteria, which is candidates must complete their bachelor's degree with an aggregate of a minimum of 50%.

Q: Can I join IMU Kochi directly?

No, you must follow the regular admissions procedure in order to enrol directly at IMU Kochi or any other IMU campus. The Indian Maritime University (IMU) uses a centralised entrance exam called the IMU Common Entrance Test (IMU CET) for admission to all of its programmes. This is followed by a counselling process.The Ministry of Education, India, offers a programme called "Direct Admission to Students' from Abroad (DASA)" via which international students can apply for admission.

The deadlines and prerequisites for this programme could differ from those of the IMU CET for overseas students. Visit the official IMU website to remain up to speed on the most recent information about IMU admissions, including eligibility requirements, exam dates, and application forms.

Q: Is IMU Kochi a good option?

Absolutely satisfied with teaching quality and peaceful campus surroundings. Placements: In our college about 70% of students are placed in many streams like MBA and Nautical Field. The average salary offered at IMU is 7 lac per annum with the highest package offered being 12 lac per annum and the lowest is 5.5 lac. This university is a good choice for the marine engineering course. Placements: If one is going for marine engineering then it is a good choice to get into IMU Kolkata (MERI/DMET). For my batch before passing out from college, about 50% of cadets were placed and the count is increasing day by day.

Q: Can I get into IMU Kochi without CAT?

IMU Kochi provides various programmes and specialisations to students. For obtaining IMU Kochi admission, candidates are required to appear for the prescribed entrance tests.

Review of Southern Academy of Maritime Studies.

Placements: SAMS College was good for students who had sponsorship on a DNS course. It is better to choose another marine college.

Infrastructure: Facilities were not good and facilities were so pathetic. Everything over here was fake. They needed some money. Our hostel facilities were not so good. They said that there would be air-conditioning and washing machines but there were none. Medical facilities were not available. They wouldn't allow for medical issues. The food served was not good and the mess was not cleaned up even in the hostel.

Faculty: Faculty members were almost good but they won't complete the chapters at the time of the exam. There were no study materials. Everything in our college was so old that many things wouldn't work. They didn't have proper facilities for students' practicals.

Other: Our college was strict and they did not conduct other functions.

Review of Southern Academy of Maritime Studies.

Placements: There are no placements from this college. During admissions, they lie about companies that would select you after your course. The staff will lie to you until you are convinced to take admission here. In the end, they would ask you to pay 5 Lacs for placements in some poor companies.

Infrastructure: The dorms and buildings are below average. You have to clean your own cabins sharing with 7 other students, i.e., 8 people share a room. Some cabins accommodate 4 people, but they are ill-ventilated. Chennai becomes pretty hot during summers, but the air-conditioners don't work properly. Only South Indian food is available, so North Indian students better avoid this place. There are no facilities like Wi-Fi, simulators etc.

Faculty: The faculty members are quite good here, but only the marine-related faculty are good, and the rest are not. Our English teacher cannot speak English properly. Our science teacher is very confused about the subject. I faced a little racism there as I am from the North, due to which I was given less marks in internals. You need to be careful here.

Other: I would suggest you to please avoid this college.

An honest review on Southern Academy of Maritime Studies.

Placements: There are no placements in our college. DNS is a sponsored course, but you can join this college without being sponsored, as this college doesn't follow the rules. So, they will take an extra amount and will give you a seat for doing DNS in this college. After the completion of your course, if you clear all the subjects, then they will ask you for 4-5 lakhs as a fee for placements as a deck cadet in ships. They will provide placements by taking money.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is neither good nor bad. There is no maintenance. If you want to live in a clean place, you have to clean the place by yourself. No facilities will be given by this college. This is good for seafarers life as you have to do every work by yourself. So, before joining this college, just be habituated of doing your work by yourself.

Faculty: The faculty members in our college are mind-blowing. The only appreciable thing in the college is that it provides the best faculty, but only in marine-related subjects. One thing I like about this college is that they take quick actions and do their best if you have any problems related to faculty.

Other: We get only South Indian food but not North Indian food. It's not good for Noth Indians, and now, they are trying to change it.

The worse place to stay no security, irresponsible staffs, management is on paper only.

Placements: There is nothing like placement in this college. There is an agent named Wainktess, and he may give you ship instead of money. He asked me nine lakhs for that, so better to be on your own. On admission time they may show you sponsor letter, but all of them are fake there is no any sponsorship and placement is also nill, so better to carry own sponsor.

Infrastructure: The college has an uneven playground of nursery school size, and the dormitory ceiling keeps falling. There is a big problem with water and electricity every time, and also no any emergency facility available in the college. If you are thinking about a hostel with good facilities, then don't try to go there because you may suffer from a shortage of water and electricity others you can imagine yourself.

Faculty: The faculty members of the college are up to mark, but all you need to be on yourself. The course is completing on time on paper but in real undesirable, if you are good in self-study, then this is good. The faculty members are trying to give there best from there level, but due to the shortage of accommodation and technology, it becomes too hard for them.

Fully satisfied with the faculty. Other than the faculty, everything is below average.

Placements: First of all, if you need placement from college, you should not head to this college, because this institute is very poor in the placements. And, if you can pay money other than college fee, then you will get placements in a good company. Also, as this is a marine college, nowadays placements are done only in few colleges. And the main thing, if you have a sponsor from a company and have the choice of selecting the college, then you can select this because of the perfect faculty present here.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure here is good, and the architecture of the college is awesome. The hostel rooms here are good enough to stay, and the classrooms are awesome here with a fully furnished and fully equipped labs with all the equipment. There are also fields to play cricket, football, volleyball and basketball. The food in the canteen is like, if you are a South Indian, then you may like it, but if you are a North Indian then definitely you won't like it. I am a South Indian and I doesn't like it as the food made here was the worst. Our batch also used to have fights with them regularly as of the food problem, but it does not solve any problem.

Faculty: I think the southern academy of the maritime studies is good only because of the faculty. This academy recruits an excellent faculty with a good experience. Due to these excellent faculty, they use to complete our course curriculum from time to time and exactly to the maximum knowledge required. The faculty in 2016-2017 was really awesome, and I was lucky to have them. They also explained not only the stuff in books, but also out of syllabus subjects when required. If anyone of them sees this, I really want to say "Thankyou."

Other: The seats here are limited, and the faculty for other courses is also awesome, and the remaining is the same.

Food and studies is not good in this college.

Placements: There are no placements in the college. Even when they give placements, they charge a minimum of 5 lakhs of rupees. There is also no placement cell inside the college. They tell a lie about the placements. Also, the faculty here don't have a manner to talk. There is no proper infrastructure here, and the college itself is very small.

Infrastructure: There is only one building for all the marine course. Here, the hostel is also small. For all the classes, there are 40 students. There are 12 to 16 boys in a room for the diploma in the nautical science batch. Also, the classrooms here doesn't have a working A.C and fans. In summer, it will be very hot.

Faculty: There is no proper faculty for all the batches, except for the Diploma in the Nautical Science. Here, 80% of all the faculty members are non-mariners. There is no proper faculty for science. They also didn't cover all the syllabus until the exam, and the students here have to complete their subjects from there on.
