Admission:

Previously tried for Indian maritime University. But later on, the ad for Gujarat Maritime University was mentioned in the newspaper and I saw the website of the same. This university provides an externship to CBS( COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL), well that is in the 2nd year, and since I am in the 1st year I can't mention that in that much detail, but this university was set up by the Gujarat maritime board which has all the ports in Gujarat under it, so the placement should be one of the best in the industry. And according to me, if someone is willing to grind in the maritime industry, then life is full of surprises as this industry is full of opportunity as more workforce is required in the same and large volumes of the cargoes are shipped through seas. The teaching staff are well organized and have sound information about the industry and will help the students in the process of learning. They are very much in tune with the system of education and have set up placement cells too.
