Diploma in Nautical Science - Batch of 2025

Offered by International Maritime Institute

3Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money

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.

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.

I'm satisfied with placements, average infrastructure, and fee is a little bit high too.

Placements: The placement at IMI is 100% for eligible candidates, and as the acquiring of feet parent company, the placement will be good. Currently, in the 4th year, all the cadets are placed in good companies except 2 cadets, as they are not eligible for company exams.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are average. Classrooms and library are good. Labs are average and mess food is very good. For medical, IMI gives Tata medical card to all the cadets we can avail our medical expenses up to 4 lakhs. Game and sport facilities are average.

Faculty: Faculty members in IMI are good, I can say above average. Some professors are from the same field (like captain and chief engineer ), but some are from mechanical and another branch for workshops like subjects. Semester exams are above average as the university is IMU, so the papers are designed by them.

Other: There are no fests conducted on campus as IMI is a training academy for cadets, so they follow rules regulated by IMU.

There is a Wi-Fi connection for each cabin. It has proper ventilation and has proper maintenance from time to time.
