What Students Say?

Likes

The Course Curriculum is well-balanced for steady and effective learning, with the best training provided for staying onboard and shaping the best marine engineers.
Yes, they provide internships as I did an internship at SOFT Shipyard, which is quite good for internships in Gujarat. They offer good practical knowledge and also provide a stipend of 5600 rupees, which feels good.

Dislikes

As of now, the placement record is very bad for BTech (me) in the Chennai campus as it has just started.
As long as I was studying in college, there was no scholarship or loan facility provided by the college. However, the Shipping Corporation of India had provided a scholarship of 48000/- for students below the poverty line, which I have availed twice.

Placement Experience:

From third semester onwards companies keep recruiting for cadets. You have to maintain a decent percentage and remain all clear in your semesters to appear for college placements. Based on demands, cadets who remain all clear will get enough chances to sit for placements.

Placement Experience:

Regarding placements companies like VR maritime ,Goodwood ,Eastway, BW , Dynocom , Marshall visit our campus once in a month and are selecting cadets with interviews. Truely by Gods grace I got placed as engine cadet in Synergy Maritime. If you stay with good marks and knowledge in academics you will have higher chances of getting placed .

They have structured programme which is very helpful for study and exam preparation
Best training for seamanship provided by intructor who has already worked in indian navy

Dislikes

Mess management was not upto the mark... Many a time they got late in providing food at time
Playground was small... We cannnot play multiple games at a time

Placement Experience:

Campus placement does not matter in dns course as all the candidates already have sponsorship in their hands but still they provide campus placement to the interested candidates who wants to swith his/her company and to get better career opportunities. Average package varies company to company but it is around 50000?

My experience at HIMT pursuing GME

5.0Helpful

Likes

The best part of HIMT is the faculties and instructor, I acquired lot of knowledge and skills from them which I didn't receive during my 4 years of mechanical degree program.
The campus life is colorful with full of activities to keep you engaged as onboard a ship

Dislikes

We get minimal leaves, most of the time we are in campus only.

Placement Experience:

From first semester end only we are eligible for placements, various companies like Goodwood, Damico, Eastaway, Dynacom, Sanmar, Bergebulk, comes for placements at HIMT College. Myself I'm placed at Synergy Marine Group . Our first 6 months is training period and during that period we get a stipend of 50000 per month. After clearing the 4thengineer competency our salary increases to 1.5 lakhs to 2.5 lakhs per month and once you become chief engineer you can draw a salary of about 15 lacs per month. You also get an NRE status of you sail forore tan 6months in a financial year. Around 85% of students get placed before passing out and the remaining in another 6 months time.

We have beautiful green lush campus, lot of places to sit and meditate in the calm nature, we also have a temple within campus

Dislikes

We get minimal leaves as it's a fully residential course and they train us to not take leaves to have that ship kind of feel where you don't get many shore leaves

Placement Experience:

As I mentioned early, there are lot of placement opportunities with HIMT college, Many big companies like MOL, Synergy, Goodwood, Eastaway, Damico, Dynacom, Sanmar, ASP ships, Western Shipping,Berge Bulk, Marlow often recruits cadets from HIMT college, in my batch 30 are already placed out of 40, who are passing out in August, remaining cadets are lined up for other companies visiting the campus in coming months. So on an overall HIMT is a safe place to begin your Maritime Career.

The faculties and the their teaching experience gave us very good exposure with the industry
The placements are very good considering the fees and other institutes which charge twice or thrice the fees

Dislikes

The food because everything here has South Indian punch. If you are someone who like South Indian food then it's good

Placement Experience:

Campus provides placement in the best companies like Torm shipping, chevron, Asp shipping, Synergy group, Stena and many more. The placements record is approximately 80%. If students don't get placement then the one year time period is given by the college in which they will get priority for placements.
