Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Marine Engineering) From IMU Chennai, Chennai

Q: What are the future prospects of doing a BTech in marine engineering from Indian Maritime University?

Indian Maritime University offers fewer placement opportunities compared to private universities. It’s because Govt. colleges don’t pay placement fees to companies to hire students. However, If you want to join Govt. Sector, an IMU degree can help. Also, the Govt. has taken shipping as a challenge to boost our economy, so you can expect to get new job opportunities in the field. Career change options are limited for Marine Engineers. As a Marine Engineer, you can’t fit into other professions and the opposite is also true. You need to be a 2nd engineer or a Chief to stop going to sea and start a career on shore. You can get some career options by doing an MBA. Various universities offer PG Diploma in Marine Engineering. Marine Engineering students can appear in GATE as well, but the questions asked in the examination are from Mechanical Engineering.

What Students Say?

Likes

Course is excellent there with excellent professors and lectures.research facility was not there by any means.
They arrange campus placement for us so we can join a company and get paid by the company during the training onboard.There is no other stipend.

Dislikes

As of now, the placements record are very bad for BTech (me) in the Chennai campus as it has just started.
As long as I was studying in the college, there was no any scholarship or loan facility provided by the college but shipping corporation of India had provided 48000/- of scholarship for below poverty line students what I have availed about 2 times.

The Galley or the dining hall is quite spacious and the food is also good on an average day.
The gym and sport facilities like table tennis indoor rowing football cricket etc

Dislikes

Certain food items are limited for each student so cannot always eat with the heart content
It is prohibited to bring food items inside the college campus so we can hardly taste anything outside the college kitchen

Course Curriculum Overview:

The college follows Indian Maritime University (IMU) course curriculum. Both theory subjects and practical subjects are included every semester. Reading in book and then working on the same thing with your own hand truly increases your knowledge and that's what is done here. Semester exams are held every six months and for each semester we have 2 cycle tests of 20marks and practical exams on the scheduled date. They invest a lot of time in workshop practical teachings and they're constantly improving the equipments

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is good. It actually prepares us for the real life scenario. But, there are some subjects which are actually not required in our field and unnecessarily increase the burden of the students by increasing the number of subjects per semester.

Dislikes

Hostel rooms are little small in H1 so if you get H2 you are lucky .

Course Curriculum Overview:

In this course you get to learn about marine machineries ,some subjects from mechanical ,sone from electrical and also from CS so this curriculum we can say is combination of all engineering in one. All subjects we learn here are going to help us some other the other time in life No engineering has 9 subjects and 4 practicals in one semester but we have it here and for all semester it is almost same .

Dislikes

None other than less holiday,but that is also one of the disadvantages of being in this course

Course Curriculum Overview:

Our syllabus and curriculum is based on IMU, and one can firmly believe the way it is taught is here is better than IMU colleges itself on various grounds. The various competency courses one has to go through before joining this carrer is very well taught. The mix between thoery and practical is kept well balanced. The difficulty of exam is kept fairly high than what is expected in the exams for a better preparation . No areas of improvement needed according to me
