Food and hygiene are a bit of an issue.

Placements: Almost 70% of cadets got placements across the world. The highest salary package offered is 5LP, A and the lowest salary package offered is 3LPA. Cadets were recruited by sponsorship exams on behalf of the college. Roles are mostly offered to B.Sc. like NCC etc., and NCC cadets were bit ease in every matter and a parade contingent also formed for cadets who are willing to do a parade on republic day in marina beach on behalf of the college, and all things are taken care of by college.

There is no placement and infrastructure. They don't issue certificates, and management is fake.

Placements: There are no placements. Everything depends on students' struggle. They stand in front of shipping company offices and fake agents, and they have paid a huge fee, like 4 lacs to 6 lacs. There is no placement cell at all.

Good college with full enjoyment.

Placements: According to me, it is one of the best college for maritime engineering when it comes to placement opportunities. Some top companies like shipping corporation of India etc use to come. Packages go till 17 Lacs per annum. Campus also give lots of internship opportunities.

Overall, our college is good, but the only problem is our college does not provide any placements.

Placements: Our college doesn't offer any placement opportunities. You can find a job through an agent or a reference. You can also walk-in directly to the company and crack the interviews. If you don't have any sources or references, you have to pay 3 to 4 lakhs to the college or agents to join the ship. Job opportunities are not that good here.

Faculty members are good, but the placements are poor.

Placements: The college doesn't provide any placement opportunities. You can only complete the course in this college; you have to find a job on your own. You can find a job through an agent, or the college will take money and provide you with a job opportunity. Or if you are talented enough, then you can go to the company and crack the interview rounds. If you are lucky, then you will get a job. Otherwise, you should have a reference to get a job.

Merchant Navy life style.

Placements: There are no placements on the campus. You can get placements by an agent or from college head office by paying more than three lacs for a good ship. All the pass out cadets do not get the job. They have to apply for the job from outside the college either from Mumbai or Chennai from the agents of various shipping companies. The agent's demand lacks the requirement of a good ship. Our college's head office is at T. Nagar, Chennai, and it takes money from students for the job in a good ship to sa...

Overall, this type of institutions should be properly inspected on a regular basis.

Placements: Placements are not provided to students in the college, but the management says that companies will visit the campus for placements, but no one visits the campus to hire the students. Students are suffering a lot after the competition of their course. The students are paying a big amount of fee varying from 2 to 8 lacks depending on shipping companies to the agents to get a ship. During these works, many students are getting cheated by the agents.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of fake promises of placements.

Placements: There are no campus placements. Fake promises are made to all students. The final degree certificate has not been given to the pass out candidates of the 2010-2013 batch, and students are suffering till now. No company is recruiting IMA candidates. It is a total fraud placement wise. They charge too many fines from students during the academic session.

Everything is great in the college except placements.

Placements: The college doesn't provide any placements. The faculty members are good. The campus is great, and everything is good except placements. When I was there, the academy doesn't even conducted the campus interviews. I would like to rate the placements with 2/5. If the campus provides placements then, it would be the best academy.

A review on International Maritime Academy.

Placements: The placements are not provided by this college. The college has many tie-ups with the industry. The students have to pay some amount to the admin office, after that they will provide placements. If you have any problem regarding placements, it can be solved by contacting the admin office.

International maritime academy.

Good infra, bad placement.

Placements: Talk about everything but if you are talking about placement, it's your fault. I don't know why companies don't visit this college. Internship for all students without stipend. There is no placement cell. Take admission at your own risk. College does not try for placements.

A college where you can get Indian CDC.

Placements: The placements are not good, but if you have the source, you will get the job because this college gives Indian CDC. If you don't get a job, the college helps the student to get a job for 100 percent placement by taking some money but the job will be genuine and will be trustworthy.

IMA is the only maritime college with no entrance exam.

Placements: One of the saddest things is, there are no placements. Not even a single company is coming to this college for the placement, so most of the students have to suffer for a job after completion of their course. But the college is promising that they will provide job if we pay a huge amount like 2 LPA to 4 LPA, just like paying to an agent.

Only good for practical and nothing else.

Placements: There are no placements, just to make people fool they are telling that they have placement, but in actual there no placement and no internship. They bring agents for placement who asks students for money. They don't even have proper faculty members also from marine stream. Maximum faculty members are useless, at least the students know more than those junior faculty members.

A good college for studies but there are no placements.

Placements: The placements are not available for any of the streams. For our seniors, they all wrote exams for placements. The college didn't provide any placement, and they are trying to bring the companies to the college for placements. If you want placements and job, then you should not come to this college. This college is only best for studies. The college does not provide any internship to the students.

Average college life. Worst hostel life. Nobody cares and all they need is money.

Placements: No placement opportunities offered by the college. They just give a degree. They promise that the companies will visit, but they don't invite anyone. Neither do companies opt this college for the recruitment which is worthless. Take admission if nothing else works out as the last option for maritime courses. I would recommend joining any college than this.

The best college for merchant navy course.

Placements: Our college gave placement only to the top 20 students- the students who passed with a high percentage in their class. Nowadays, an examination is held by different companies for the job. Many shipping companies like Marsek, MSC, Cosco, etc. hired the students.
