One of India’s best Merchant Navy colleges with high placements and expert faculty.

Placements: 97 percent of students of the last batch are placed. Before that, the placement rate is around 96 percent, and before that it is 90–94 percent, so that means it is always increasing. In the Merchant Navy, there is no fixed package; there is a rank-based fixed salary and stipend is different. The stipend in companies like NYK varies between $400–500. In Chevron, it is above $500. In Dyna Gas, it is $1200. In Wallem, it is $500. In BW, it is $600. These are the stipends of a few companies. But after becoming a 4th Engineer, the salary is the same for all, around $800–1500. Companies include NYK, Stena, Chevron, BW, Zodiac, Cell Ship, Wallem, Dyna Gas, Carnival, etc. Almost everyone becomes a 4th Engineer.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility is good, Classrooms are good, and there is AC facility in every classroom. Library facility is moderate. Hostel mess food is good compared to other hostels. Cleanliness in washrooms is good. There is hot and cold water in showers 24/7. Medical facilities are not that good. Sports facilities are good, mostly all games are there.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and well or overqualified and are knowledgeable in their subjects and others too. The course is relevant. They make students ready for the industry. Exams are hard enough to make students ready for the future. Around 60–80 percent of students pass on average.

Other: To join the Merchant Navy, this is one of the best colleges in Asia, so I joined this college. It gives you one of the best opportunities for onboard jobs and offshore jobs too. There are not that many fests; there are a few fests but many events. The crowd is not much. The campus is very beautiful, but the factories around it sometimes cause pollution, which affects health many times. There is a good amount of scholarships given. There are different scholarships, and there are 21 clubs in the college for extracurricular activities.

The best college I have seen ever in my life.

Placements: Placements are very good. According to the previous year’s record, more than 80% got placed. There are a lot of big companies like MOL, Maersk, M.Sc., etc., coming to TMI. Many students from TMI are serving as captains in the merchant navy.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is the best. We have separate classes for every division, equipped with AC. There are computer labs with good internet. The library is also nice. We can also hire books for a few days. The hostel is equipped with Wi-Fi and water coolers, and all the floors have very fast Wi-Fi and lifts.

Faculty: Faculty members are good and qualified. They keep an eye on each and every student, and there are frequent tests for each subject. The toughness of our exams is moderate, and the passing percentage is 60%. The level of the end-semester exam is tough.

Best maritime college one can opt for.

Placements: The percentage of students placed in my course is about 95 percent. The highest package offered is 40 LPA, the lowest package offered is around 4.2 LPA, and the average package offered is 28 LPA. Top recruiting companies are MOL, NYK, etc. Roles offered are such as chief engineer, port management, etc.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi connectivity is not up to the mark. Classrooms are in good condition. Bathroom conditions are average. The library is good and well furnished. Food in the mess is average. Medical services are not good. Sports and games are one of the best things in the college.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and well qualified. The course opted is well relevant. All the three courses, B. Tech, Nautical Science, and DNS, are industry-ready courses. The semester exams are quite tough, but some subject papers are quite easy, mainly from PYQs.

Other: The only reason due to which I opted for this course is because I want to explore the ocean and have an interest in machines. The best thing about the B. Tech M.E. is the future perspective.

I'll rate Tmi as 10/10 because of its placements, best facilities, and experienced faculty.

Placements: I'm currently in my 2nd year. I got placed in the 1st year only within the 1st semester. The placements here are top-notch in very reputed companies like Chevron, Torm, Stena, and BW. No concern about placements if you don't have any backlog, you can get placed easily.

Infrastructure: Free unlimited Wi-Fi is provided both in classrooms and hostels and in the library. Food quality is excellent and better than that of any other college. A sickbay (medical facilities) is also on the campus with a certified doctor. TMI is known for its events and sports. Every sport like football, cricket, basketball, squash, lawn tennis, table tennis, and various athletic events, is organized.

Faculty: All the faculty members here are highly qualified and have great experience and knowledge, and the quality of teaching is excellent. It makes the students ready for the industry. Semester exams are moderate, depending on your preparation. 50% is the pass criteria.

Other: I chose this course because marine engineering is the best technical degree in which we can work onboard with machines. This course offers a great package too. But the fee for this course is a bit high, and that's the only drawback. The events in TMI are of the next level, they spend a lot on events and fests, and the campus is very neat and clean. Scholarships are also given to the students who performed well in academics.

Review of Tolani Maritime Institute- TMI.

Placements: About 98% of students from the current 2024 batch have been placed in top shipping companies such as M.Sc. Wallem Seapeak, etc., with a lot of them having scored an on-board internship of 6 months. Students who did not get an onboard internship will be completing their internship in PVD before they can board their respective ships and start their careers as fourth engineers. The nautical science batch saw a 100% placement rate as of right now.

Infrastructure: TMI has provided ethernet connectivity services in each room providing high-speed Wi-Fi, but it does not work sometimes and is switched off after 11 PM every day. The academic block has a workshop that has machines for educational purposes such as late machines, milling machines, shape, etc. It has several labs such as electrical and electronics labs, marine machinery labs, a thermal engineering lab, etc. The campus also has two drawing halls for engineering drawing courses two academic blocks and one block consisting of simulation rooms. The campus has a library which has a wide range of books.

Faculty: Faculty members mostly consist of retired chief engineers and captains. They provide good quality teaching. A lot of professors are PhD holders or have achieved some sort of recognition in their respective fields. The course curriculum is mostly relevant to the current demands of the shipping industry and is set by the Indian Maritime University. Semester exams are relatively on the tougher side but can be easily cleared if attention is paid in class and if studies are done regularly.

Other: I selected this course because I wanted to join the Merchant Navy as an engineering officer. The best thing about this course is that it derives its roots from mechanical engineering so we also have touch with the mechanical field. There are several fests which are conducted in this college including Horizons which is the main event and Transtech which is a technical fest conducted every year.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to become a merchant navy officer, and the best thing is that there is a lot to learn and experience. I just want the course to be to the point and remove the unnecessary things. There are some events like horizons, boat racing, etc., and a lot of sports competitions. Scholarship starts from about Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1,00,000.
