Review of Diploma in Nautical Science course at IMI.
Placements: The institute is now owned by owners of Fleet Management, so placements are pretty much 100% at this point. By the end of the course, all students got placed in our batch. Some are already sponsored and some got it afterwards. Students mostly are from M.Sc and Fleet courses here.
Infrastructure: It is a small but clean and cozy hostel with good Wi-Fi and AC. Regular cleaning takes place. The only downside is the AC. It has a clean mess with good food. The market is nearby. The nearest metro is 5 minutes away (20 minutes by walk). It has pretty decent football, volleyball, and tennis grounds.
Faculty: Teachers are mostly ex-captains and some are even sailing captains who are highly knowledgeable. Exams are of decent difficulty and they teach everything as per the syllabus. The seamanship instructors or the wardens are on a bit of the other side in terms of communication but it's still manageable.
Other: Overall, it is a good choice for Maritime training. It has good food, good infrastructure, and good faculty members.

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.
Infrastructure: The hostel is quite well-maintained. Washrooms are cleaned every day, and cleanliness is maintained, which is quite impressive. There is a small ground for playing football, and good courts for volleyball and badminton. The mess is also quite well.
Faculty: Teachers here are all good and knowledgeable, and the teaching quality is good. Talking about semester exams, this college provides better practice and helps us prepare for the final IMU exams. 50% is the minimum marks to pass this DNS course. The academic block is quite small but fine.

It is one of the best decision to take admission here. It has good location in heart of the city.
Placements: International Maritime Institute is a Maritime Institute affiliated to Indian Maritime University, Chennai. It offers pre-sea training for DNS students. The placement rate of my college is 100%. Almost every student 98% is pre-sponsored by the world's top shipping companies such as D'amico, feet management, wallem shipping, M.Sc. PIL, MMSI, and many more. Students are recruited as deck cadets for almost 18 months of sea training.
Infrastructure: The facilities provided for our course are top notch. There is an aviation lab, bridge simulator, seamanship lab, and the only ship on campus (a replica of a real ship) in North India, to give real-time experience to the cadets. The hostel facilities are also good with a Wi-Fi speed of 200 Mbps. It has a capacity of about 250 students. Rooms are well-furnished with beds and almirahs. The food quality is also very good prepared by qualified chefs. You get both veg and non-veg food with a mess capacity of 200 people at a time.
Faculty: Our faculty members are well-qualified. Most of them are retired captains of the merchant navy, also we have faculty who have served in the Indian navy as captains, and commanders. They are knowledgeable. The course or the study material provided is curriculum relevant helping the students to become industry ready. Semester exams of the college are average and the pass percentage is 50%.

Best Maritime Campus and Well-Experienced Faculty Members.
Placements: When it comes to placements, about 70% of the students have been placed, and the others are still waiting for the companies to take the list. The placed students have a package of about 30,000 to 55,000 INR per month, which is from companies like Synergy, V Ships, M.Sc. Chevron, and other small companies with smaller salary packages like TCI, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure and classrooms are good. There is a projector in each classroom, and when it comes to the labs, there are many instruments, devices, computers, etc. The library is fully air-conditioned with lots of books, for learning as well as for entertainment. The hostel rooms in our college and the food there are fine, with healthy food and a neat atmosphere.
Faculty: All the faculty members are well-educated and experienced captains. They teach us with their full potential, and we can understand them very clearly. By taking the DNS course, we study for 1 year and the other 18 months are for training. There is difficulty in each semester exam. The pass percentage for a semester is to obtain 50% marks for each subject, lab, and assignments.
Other: Events and activities are very good on the campus, and there are extra activities like Sports Day, Holi, and Christmas, which are well-celebrated on the campus.

Absolute good for this fees with this faculty, with a very good placement.
Placements: 20% of the students were already placed when they came to college. 60% of the rest were placed by the college. In my course, the average salary package is between INR 15,000 to 50,000, which depends on the type of ship and company. Many companies visited our college and selected cadets. Companies like Synergy, Chevron, New Shipping Kaisha, Andromeda, Fleet Management, Anglo-Eastern, M.Sc. MSI, TSI Seaways, Maersk, etc. Everyone who met the eligibility criteria was selected by a company. Deck cadets are the entry-level position on a ship, and are promoted based on experience and passing exams.
Infrastructure: The classroom environment was good with smart class, air conditioning, plenty of space, fresh air, and Wi-Fi. The library was well-stocked with materials for our studies and exams. The hostel life was lacking, especially the food in the mess. The food quality was poor for me and my fellowcadets. The accommodation was like any other hostel, with four students in a room. The medical facility was only open from 9 to 8 on weekdays. Sports and games were active, and students were encouraged to participate in various competitions.
Faculty: The teachers were very kind and helpful, and they were all experts in the field we were studying. The facilities were great, and the course curriculum was relevant and interesting. The exams were challenging, but I was able to pass them with a score of 79%.
Other: I chose this course only on my own interest in this field. My brother-in-law is a chief officer. He used to be an inspiration for me to get into this field. DNS (Diploma in Nautical Science) is the course I choose to study as it's only one year of education and the rest is in our training period. This course gives us quick job facilities and a stipend, which we will be getting in our training period. The course has nothing to improve or get better. College has been nice to everyone by celebration festivals, culturals, sports days, and all. Scholarships have been given to other eligible cadets. Campus is so peaceful with it's nature and beauty.
