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

Faculty: Teachers are so helpful as they were Captains who already been there on ships and carried out many cargo operations, mooring operations, voyages, etc., during their whole career. They taught us everything according to the syllabus and also taught us the real-life challenges that we gonna face in the upcoming years at sea.

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

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.

Asia's top maritime college.

Faculty: Teachers from our campus are highly educated, qualified and experienced, with them, we gained more knowledge which helps us to survive in any worse condition in our shipping life. Also they do have a feedback system in which if we feel like not understanding, we can tell them so that they'll help us to give more solutions and help us to learn more easily.

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

Faculty: The curriculum focuses more on Marine Engineering components with practical aspects and hands-on experience. We also get an immersive learning experience through the virtual reality modules developed in-house at HIMT by the Chief Engineers and Master Mariners. Faculty members are the best in terms of core job experience and are seasoned teachers who understand our depth and teach effectively.

Highly recommended college for GME in India.

Faculty: Teachers have immense experience at sea, and they share with us the challenges and experiences they face at sea. They also mentor us so that we are fit for work at sea. The course curriculum is equally balanced between theory and practical, with more hands-on training experience.

I get placed in MMSI through HIMT after completing GME.

Faculty: Semester exams are to the point, covering whatever is taught in class, and hence are not very difficult. They are a mix of subjective and objective questions. Our course curriculum has equal weightage for theory and practical hands-on experience. All our faculty members are master mariners and chief engineers who make us fit for the sea.

Review of Diploma in Nautical Science course at IMI.

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.

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
