The college is pretty good. But think about all the aspects before joining this college.

Placements: The placements of the college are pretty good. Last year, almost 75% of the students got placed through campus placements. Currently, the college doesn't have any placement cell, but students are working on that. Last year, the placements in the college were very good.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is quite good. The college doesn't provide hostel facility for the male students studying management courses. Hostel facilities are optionally available for girls. College is having a good library with a good collection of study materials. The library is allowing students to access many online magazines and reports on a daily basis. The library also provides e-books. Quality of food available in the canteen is good, but the taste is not satisfactory.

Faculty: The college provides good faculty members for every course. There are many permanent faculty members and guest faculty members. All the faculty members are dignified and well-experienced in their specialised fields. Guest faculty members are well-experienced.

Other: Every year the management wing conducts the management fest. The college doesn't organise any cultural fests. The college provides free Wi-Fi facilities for students with restrictions on data usage per week. The college provides scholarships for the students who stood at first 15 ranks in every course. In all the four campuses, around 60 students from the B.Sc and B.Tech courses are offered scholarships. The scholarship awarded for the topper student is 1 lakh.

Review of Indian Maritime University Chennai.

Placements: It is not very good. Every student has some expectations regarding placement but after spending 4-6 lakhs, they got a job offering only 20,000 INR. IMU is big name comes under the central government but not any facility like a government college. They should provide a good job which a student deserves.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good with no issues regarding this. IMU Chennai has two campuses, one will be open soon. The new campus is very large near about 300 acres. The old campus is also good, it has a swimming pool and an auditorium. It also consists of a big ground for outdoor games like football, cricket, etc.

Faculty: Faculty members teach very well. The manner of teaching is also very good. The course consists of two years and is further divided into 4 semesters, same like every MBA college, so no issues regarding faculty members. In terms of the curriculum, no one can beat them. They teach through the digital way as well as our traditional way because both are necessary to improve students.

Good maritime institute under the central government, holds a value.

Placements: Well, placements do happen but not promised as 100% placements to students. Top companies like Kunhe Nagal, Adani, CH Robinsons etc have recruited in the past several years. The salary ranged between 15,000 to 45,000 in my batch. My seniors got overseas offers too, earning about 2 lakhs per month. It is all based on what company shows up and hires you.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is great, well-maintained and has a fort-like architecture. It has a hostel, a mess, a swimming pool, a playground and a vast campus which are all great. There a new campus almost ready which looks like Taj Mahal if you ask me. It will be exclusive for MBA students and the old campus will be for BTech, MTech students etc. There is also an auditorium that looks reasonably fair for conducting activities.

Faculty: MBA in ports and shipping management is a 2-year programme with decent enough faculty members and excellent guest faculty members who are very knowledgeable. The course of two years gives you good knowledge. Fixed faculty members are ok but are not that great; you can totally rely on externals. Exams are easy to pass if you pay attention in the class, study the pots and elaborate.

Other: Indian Maritime university is a central government university under the Union Ministry of Shipping. It is a good institute. IMU is headquartered at Chennai having about 4-5 branches in India.
