Admission was done by PCM marks that should be above 60 percentantage.Also need medical fitness with basic requirements specially eye vision.The application can obtained from the college website also the course fee and other details.As far as I know there was no reservation benefits provided by college if provided would be better for the poor students.
I have opted this course as I wanted an uniform job and an adventurous one. Indian Maritime University and it’s affiliated colleges were approved by Director General Of Shipping.These affiliated colleges were providing Continuous Discharge Certificate and the fees for this course was comparatively lesser in this college than other affiliated colleges. The most important thing that drove me to this college was the atmosphere and the accommodation was for single cadet per room and not only that our college had a ship TS Meenakshi in which we used to do our Internship.
On an overall note the administration was good and my conclusion was to join this college if your passion is to join ship and in a university like Bits.
Education will be very good but the only dissatisfaction from the college was food it was very horrible some days, no non veg only veg and that to very worst food this is the main issue in this college.
We have 8 Written and 4 practical papers in every semester there was total 8 semester in which 1 semester is for internship which you can do outside or in ship in campus every semester we have to go for but test then mid semester and final exam in every semester many guy got back in subject.
There is a less job placement all about there marks Jobs are less. But in high merchant navy colleges. They have 100 percent job placements.
Our batch was of 52 cadets out of which only 8 were placed at campus they were placed in BW maritime and India cements.
