The placement facilities are considered good, and the college aims to provide a perfect start for a rewarding career at sea. The college is approved by the Directorate General of Shipping (DG Shipping), Ministry of Shipping, Government of India, and has a CIP Grade ("A1" Outstanding). 

IMUC offers a strong placement record for both its B.Tech Marine Engineering and B.Tech Naval and Ocean Engineering programs. But when it comes to placement, B.Tech Marine Engineering often performs marginally better than B.Tech Naval and Ocean Engineering. Greater Demand for Marine Engineers: Compared to naval architects and ocean engineers, marine engineers are more in demand in the maritime sector. This is due to the fact that there are more ships in use than there are navy ships and ocean constructions. Greater Opportunities: Marine engineers can find employment on a range of ships, including offshore vessels, cargo ships, cruise ships, and tankers. Ocean engineers and naval architects sometimes have fewer career options and are more specialised in their expertise.  The B.Tech Marine Engineering placement rate at IMUC has been approximately 95% on average in recent years, whereas the B.Tech Naval and Ocean Engineering placement rate has been approximately 90% on average. Furthermore, the starting salary for marine engineers at IMUC is normally approximately ?6 LPA, but the starting salary for naval architects and ocean engineers is typically around ?5.5 LPA.
