Best for starting your career.

Placements: More than 70% were placed in campus placements and the rest of the students were given institute sponsorship. I have been in three placements and I was selected by Goodwood Shipping Management, which has VLC, bulk, contained, and chemical tankers.

Infrastructure: When compared to the rest of the top colleges in this field in India, Great Eastern stands first in hostels and infrastructure. For one, there are three persons for officer rankings and four persons for GP ratings, including bathrooms, lockers and study tables. They will provide you with an with an iron box for each room. For laundry, people will come twice a week.

Faculty: Yes, the teachers are highly qualified people. They will guide you in everything. They will even listen to your problems that you are facing at the institute. They are very much friendly but not the hostel wardens or PT sir. Coming to exams is a little bit tough.

There are good faculty members and 100% placement records and elegant infrastructure.

Placements: The best part about GEIMS is its 100% placement record, which is true. Even if you fail in any subjects, then after clearing it, you'll get a placement for your internship/cadetship. Top companies like Tombs Shipping, Wallem Ship Management, Seaspan, Synergy, Gesco, Goodwood Shipping and many more visit here until you get placed.

Infrastructure: Our campus is elegant. Hostel rooms, labs, classrooms, library and canteen, are also elegant. The food served here is good, and the rooms are comfortable. There are plenty of games and amusement facilities like a gym, table tennis, etc. The best part here is that every Saturday, you can watch any movie in the auditorium on a big screen. But the worst thing is smartphones are not allowed inside the campus, so Wi-Fi facilities are not available.

Faculty: Very experienced captains and chief engineers are the faculty members here, so the knowledge shared by them is enough to pass exams and groom ourselves for the practical industry. You have to study a little hard atleast when exams are going to conduct shortly to pass them. Daily there is a time-restricted schedule, which you have to follow, and anyhow leaves are only provided on medical grounds.

Other: This course is offered with sponsorship, so your internship is secured. I wish smartphones should be allowed inside the campus. Games and few other extracurricular activities are part of campus life. The most exciting event organised here is Naughtica, which is an inter-college event.

All the doubts of the students are being cleared by the teachers before the exams. The college course curriculum was relevant, which makes students industry-ready. Exams at the college were not hard to pass.

It is a wonderful experience to study here.

Placements: In the Great Eastern Institute of Maritime Studies, there is a waiting period of about 6 to 8 months to conduct placements. India's number 1 private sector companies visit here for placements. They make students perform best in interviews. Other companies like BSM, Good Wood, World Tankers, etc., recruit students from GEIMS.

Infrastructure: Facilities provided here are good, well oriented and in a disciplined manner. There is an uninterrupted Wi-Fi facility in the digital library to do assignments and to study on our own. Classrooms have a clear presentation projector system, and classrooms are huge enough to study comfortably. The food served here is also great, and there is a separate schedule every week for the food. The food is good and well clean.

Faculty: Teachers here are captains who teach from their experience and from books. They help us very much in our training. The method of teaching is easily understandable. The syllabus contains all the things for trainee cadets. There are real models of the ship, which makes the cadets understand easily.

Other: There are scholarships, and the fest and other sports events are organised. This course is a basic level for my career as a captain.

It is the best college for maritime training.

Placements: Our college assures 100% placements for all students and has 100% placement record as we join the college with sponsorship letters. The fee for diploma in nautical science ranges from 6.5 lacs. Leading companies like BSM, Goodwood, Fleet Management, World Tankers, Seaspan and Synergy recruit cadets of our course for on-board training.

Infrastructure: There are air-conditioned and spacious classrooms and well set up laboratories. Our college also has a well clean dining area and cafeteria. The medical department is also very good, and a doctor visits the college every day.

Faculty: Our college provides well-experienced faculty members who have worked on-board for years. They are well educated to train us, and they are always available on the campus for all the requirements. They help us with all our needs. All the staff members, including housekeeping service members, are very good to interact with us. So, I am satisfied with them.

Overall, the campus and the hostel facilities are good. Faculty are awesome and motivating.

Placements: The companies provide sponsorships through a process of online exam and interview. If you clear all the rounds of this placement process, they'll give sponsorship and full training. There are other reputed foreign companies like PIL, Seaspan, World Tankers, etc., who provide good placements. Overall, placements in our college are good.

Infrastructure: The college is more like a five-star resort. The housekeeping staff regularly clean the campus and cabins. Hostel rooms are cleaned every third day, and bedsheets are changed every Saturday. Classrooms are neat, clean, spacious and air-conditioned. I would rate 5 out of 5 for classrooms. The college library has world class books with a good management system. E-learning facility is also available here. The computer labs are also available for entertainment, and one can study well with the help of good speed of the network. Canteen looks good with good interior design, and it offers good food. Cleanliness is more emphasised here. I didn't face any issues during my tenure at GEIMS.

Faculty: All the faculty members of the college have the masters or chief engineer's degree. They are the best in their fields with a huge amount of knowledge as well as experience. The quality of teaching is good. They are very helpful. They usually teach using powerpoint presentations and videos. There is a system of watching Videotel safety video related to our course every alternate day. We got to go on a ship visit once. The industry exposure was really good as the faculty would share their experience with us. The course curriculum was very good.

Other: There is a scholarship programme for students who can't pay such a high amount of fees. We participated in many activities like Swach Bharat Abhiyan, educational fairs, sports activities and competitions, etc.
