It's a very good college. It shows you the real world and trains you for it.

Placements: Almost 70 percent of students are already placed and it's just our 1st year. The highest packages are up to 2000 dollars and the lowest are up to 600 dollars for starting cadets. Some top companies, such as Carnival, Zodiac, and Chevron visit our college. This course offers very high-paying roles such as chief engineer.

Infrastructure: It is all very good you can get almost all sports facilities here. The sports are promoted a lot. This college doesn't just teach you discipline but also teaches you to balance your wants and needs. The food here at the canteen as well as mess is very hygienic and good.

Faculty: Exams are moderate only not too difficult. The academic faculty is top-notch and always very helpful for students so if you are focusing in class these semester exams are going to be very easy for you. Not only that but they even have an academic assistance club that can help you with studies.

Other: I chose this course because I have always loved the ocean and this course gave me a chance to work in it. I hope that the course duration was a bit shorter. The main events of our college are Transtech and Horizons. Also if you make it to the top 35 in your batch in a semester-end exam then you get a 35 percent scholarship for that particular semester.

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.

5.0Placements3.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty4.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

The best placement college in particular.

Placements: See, over the last 2-3 years, our previous batches have 90-100% placement results. The current 4th year batch (2022) has 40 students, and from them, 18 to 20 are placed. Salary is decided on the type of vessel, like if you sail on an LNG tanker, it will be the highest for a trainee marine engineer, something around 6-8 LPA. The lowest you can get is 2-3 LPA, and the median salary offered will be 4-5.5 LPA. In our IMU MPC campus, companies like M.Sc. Anglo Eastern, feet, Synergy, MOL, Dynacom, Pacific basin like company comes every year. All students must do a 6-month internship.

Infrastructure: See, classrooms are good with having proper AC and smart boards. The library is also good, containing many marine-related and other books, with the best infrastructure here. Wi-Fi is also available in the hostel, but it is problematic in some hostel rooms. We have a medical facility, a doctor come everyday except Sunday in the morning. The food quality of the mess is good, but as the food is repetitive, it is boring for many ones here. Canteen food is good, you can play any sports here, we have a court for basketball, volleyball, kabaddi, badminton, and a ground for football and cricket.

Faculty: Here, all the teachers are qualified and very well in their field with extensive knowledge related to marine subjects. The course curriculum is relevant. The exams are hard, but from my batch of 80, something around 70-72 have passed in all subjects with good marks.

Offered by Tolani Maritime Institute- TMI

4.4

4.0Placements4.0Infrastructure5.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

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.

A short look into life at IMU MPC.

Placements: 90% of the students are placed with the highest package being 8 LPA and the lowest 4 LPA. Companies like Anglo Eastern Ship Management, Great Eastern Shipping Company, M.Sc. Synergy, Pacific Basin, Mol company, Exmarc, Dynacom company, etc., recruit. The placement has improved.

Infrastructure: The simulators required for the course are available here, and the hostel is not that great, but survivable. Mess food is better than most colleges, but not many sports are available, the gym is pretty good, and since this is a regimental college, discipline is maintained.

Faculty: Most of the professor hold a doctorate degree and are revered in their fields, however, they may fail to give the knowledge they possess. It may seem like they are only reading PPTs, but they themselves know the stuff they are teaching. Some faculty have also been seafarers themselves, with a few chief engineers and captains.

Other: I chose this course because it is an easy way to get into this field without worrying about placements or stuff like that. Also, the merchant navy, being a lucrative career, gives you a proud feeling. We have 2 festivals throughout the semester with one being Prayaan and the other Udghosh.
