{Source: B.E. / B.Tech students & alumni}

IMU Chennai for B.E./B.Tech

Based on the reviews and feedback from students and alumni, here's an assessment of IMU Chennai for its B.E./B.Tech program:

Faculty
* Mixed opinions on the faculty, with some students finding them unhelpful and others appreciating their knowledge and guidance
* Not all faculty members have a strong background in their respective fields (according to some reviewers)

Infrastructure
* Average infrastructure, with some amenities lacking (e.g., Wi-Fi in hostels)
* Limited sports facilities, and no swimming pool despite being a part of the marine engineering course
* Good classrooms and libraries

Placement
* High placement rate (around 85%) with major companies visiting the campus
* Salaries range from INR35,000 to INR50,000 per month initially, increasing up to INR7 Lacs per month with experience and promotion
* Opportunities for internships at different ports

Curriculum
* Relevant and industry-ready course structure, making students employable
* Complex curriculum, however, might require extra effort from students

Overall Experience
* Mixed feelings about the college, with some students enjoying the academic environment and others experiencing difficulties with certain faculty members or infrastructure limitations

In summary, while IMU Chennai seems to offer a decent educational experience and relatively good placement opportunities, some concerns arise regarding the faculty and infrastructure. Students seeking a strong foundation in marine engineering and a supportive learning environment may find IMU Chennai suitable, but those expecting exceptional faculty guidance or state-of-the-art infrastructure might consider other options carefully.

HIMT College: Best college in India for merchant navy career.
Placements: Almost 80 percent of my batchmates are placed, including me, which is 100 percent of those who do not have arrears. Various shipping companies like MOL, Damico, MOLTA, BW Maritime, Marshall, and Eastaway visit our campus round the year and provide placement opportunities.
Infrastructure: HIMT has the best hostel facilities; 4 people share a room with bunk beds, and we have a good bond for that reason. We have individual study tables and shelves for storing our personal items. Our classrooms were air-conditioned classrooms with smartboards used by faculty members.
Faculty: Our teachers were the best role models; we learned quite a lot from them. We had experienced chief engineers and captains who not only taught us the syllabus but also built our personalities and confidence. They ensured we were ship-ready by the end of 4 years. They knew ship life was not the cup of tea for all, so they carved us properly for the actual requirement.
Other: We have intercollege events in all the semesters and it was fun participating in all those events.

HIMT college shaped my future.
Placements: We had several companies like MOLMI, Eastaway, MOLTA, BW Maritime, Marshall, Damico, and Dynacom Tankers come to college for our placements, as well as all the students who were all with these companies. The college also supported us in training for the interviews.

Faculty: Teachers were highly qualified, with seasoned chief engineers and master mariners. The course was articulated in such a way that we were ship-ready by the end of the course. Semester exams were conducted by IMU, and our faculty members discussed the previous year's question papers so that we had knowledge about the pattern of the paper.

Reviewing Coimbatore Marine College.
Placements: This course is under IMU University. The eligibility for this course is the need to clear IMUCET exam with a good rank having 60% in PCM and 50% in English compulsorily. You need to take a medical test from DG approved hospital which includes an eye check up. I secured 4200 rank in IMUCET exam. Our batch of B.Tech ‘23 with a strength of 38 students includes one girl. The IMUCET exam is not a tough exam. You just need to concentrate on school level PCM only along with a little aptitude knowledge, this will make you clear the IMUCET exam very easily.
Infrastructure: Our college is constructed in the model of a ship which is named as TS Clarissa. The entire campus is also labeled with shipping terms only. This makes the cadets practice and learn the shipping terms. An engine room is available with real marine 4 strokes engine and other marine auxiliary machines. This makes the students learn about marine machinery and equipments easily. Deck side along with the aviation room is available with all the aviation equipments like a steering box, etc. The college is located in very good environment. The hostel is available inside the campus. Separate hostels are available for boys and girls. All the hostel rooms are non AC. Two hostels for boys and one hostel for girl cadets are available inside the campus. The hostel rooms are constructed with good air ventilation. 2 to 4 cadets can stay in one room. The only drawback is the power cut which creates tension in the summer season.
Faculty: Mostly the faculty members of this college are sailors. Other than the sailing staff, a few senior professor are handling some subjects. The sailing staff shares their own experience which helps the students learn more about sailing and other details. Chief Engineer and Captain are handling marine papers which is very good to gain more knowledge and experience. This course is under IMU University, the syllabus and questions are prepared by IMU University only. The paper evaluation is very strict. Exams consist of 70 marks. Out of 70, you need to get 35% to pass. The question papers are some times repetitions of previous years, mostly they ask new questions. Without studying, we will not able clear the semester exams. If you study a subject’s basic concepts, you can clear the exam easily. They frame new questions from basics concepts only.
Other: If you want to study this course for a low fee, my suggestion is you choose this college because for the money you pay, you will gain good knowledge. The drawback is that the placements are not available in this college. You need to try on your own.
