HIMT excels in training.

Placements: I am part of the DNS Batch of 2025-2026. We are placed in the Mediterranean Shipping Company. Our batch is 100% placed in the course. The highest package offered is $370 per month for the position of deck cadets upon joining the job.

Absolutely worthy to join HIMT. HIMT teaches us to tackle loneliness, homesickness, and challenges.

Placements: The placement record of our batch is 100 percent. We were placed by M.Sc. before joining HIMT itself. Top recruiting companies for DNS are IMEC, Synergy, BSM, etc. No internship is required, and it will be provided during this course, and the one job we all will get will be as a deck cadet on a merchant vessel.

This college is okay to survive in, but it's not a very good option.

Placements: Students in my batch were sent for their interview to one of the companies, but the company hasn't responded to them yet. The top companies like M.Sc. Fleet, Demico, Wallem come every year to pick their candidates. Almost 98% of students get selected in M.Sc. Fleet, Demico, Dockendale, Wallem, and many more as cadets.

Excellent facilities and instructors.

Placements: I am pursuing a Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS). Our batch has 40 students, and all have sponsored by the Mediterranean shipping company (M.Sc). We are completing the course in December 2025 and joining as deck cadets in the upcoming months. HIMT has a very good placement record. Companies like BSM, M.Sc, Synergy, Zodiac, MOL, and PIL regularly visit the campus.

Asia's top maritime college.

Placements: About my course, it's a one year course in which we complete our pre-sea training in college and 18 months on-board ship. Also, in our batch, all got placed in the world's largest shipping company, M.Sc. And many companies are visiting and giving more placement opportunities to our college students.

GME course from HIMT is a pathway to a successful career.

Placements: About 80% of students are placed in various shipping companies like MMSI, M.Sc., BSM, Damico, and Zodiac, all selected as TME. At HIMT, if you have good academics and speak well, getting a placement is not difficult. Focus on the basics and have good communication skills. That is the shortcut for placement.

No if you did not score a minimum of 60% in PCM in your 12th grade examination you are generally not eligible for admission to the Indian Maritime University for the Marine engineering course even if you clear your compartment exam in the same year
