Grateful to HIMT for helping me achieve my dream job.

Placements: I am really happy to share my experience at HIMT College. I have recently joined the Electro Technical Officer (ETO) course and have completed 2 months. Recently, I have given an interview for PIL and got placed in that company as an electrical cadet. The placement team and faculty guided me through the entire interview preparation process honestly, their support and guidance helped me achieve the job in a very short time.

Excellent college for GME.

Placements: About 80 percent 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.

The mess food and accommodation totally disappointed us.

Placements: Probably 50 percent of cadets got placed. But the rest of students did not get placed. The college provides only 100 percent placement assistance. I suggest students do not believe blindly in the receptionist, as they are doing a scam. They should check twice. Only 3-5 companies attend the college for placements.

It is a great learning environment with strong placement support.

Placements: I am part of the GME batch, placed in the Eastaway Shipping Company. Within 6 months, around 60–70% out of a batch of 40 students get selected. Companies such as Eastaway, BSM, Berge Bulk, and d’Amico were all selected as TME. At HIMT, if you have good academics and speak well, getting a placement is not difficult. The average package offered is $ 650–750 per month. Focusing on the basics and having good communication skills is the shortcut to 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
