I am feeling proud to study in HIMT college, where the faculty members and batchmates are helpful.

Placements: As we are in the September batch of 2024, almost 50% of the cadets have been placed. Even if we pass out, they will call us when any company approaches the college. Top shipping companies like MAERSK, Zodiac, and Berge Bulk have come for recruitment so far. At the first sail, the role of ETO is trainee ETO.
