I am feeling proud to study in HIMT college, where the faculty members and batchmates are helpful.

Placements: As we are in the September batch of 2024, almost 50% of the cadets have been placed. Even if we pass out, they will call us when any company approaches the college. Top shipping companies like MAERSK, Zodiac, and Berge Bulk have come for recruitment so far. At the first sail, the role of ETO is trainee ETO.

Infrastructure: The ambiance of HIMT feels good and peaceful. Classrooms are provided with air conditioning facilities, and my college has a VR lab facility. Every week, there will be two periods for the library, and the books in the library are useful. Cadets from any state in India can have good food and feel good with the facilities of the hostel. Indoor and outdoor sports facilities are available, and we can play every evening.

Faculty: Yes, the teaching faculty members in HIMT College are very helpful, especially the ETO course faculty members. They are very friendly and have both knowledge and practical experience, so they help us score good marks. They provide us extra coaching for placements when the companies come for recruitment, and they take responsibility for every individual student to improve in both academics and communication.

Other: As of now, ETOs have good demand in the marine industry. I chose this valuable course and this valuable training institute. The demand for ETOs is even increasing because ME engines are coming into play in the future.

B.Tech. in Marine Engineering - Batch of 2021

Offered by Coimbatore Marine College

3.4

2Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Apart from placements everything was good at Coimbatore Marine college.

Placements: Coimbatore Marine College did not have very many placement opportunities for its students. Very few of the students in this batch get placed at this college. The average package offered at the college was between 3 and 6 LPA. Students were not getting proper placement support from the college. Internships were also not given to the students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure available at the Coimbatore Marine College for our course was good. College had a pretty big campus. All the necessary facilities were provided to the students by the management. The college has facilities such as a hostel, canteen, Wi-Fi, library, labs, sports, etc. for its students. The food in both the college canteen and mess was average.

Faculty: The faculty of the Coimbatore Marine College was good for our course. Teachers available in our course are experienced, and we'll be qualified at this college. They were using all their experience for the students development. The course curriculum was also relevant and made students industry-ready. Exams were not that hard to pass at this college for our course. Overall, the teaching quality was good enough at this college.
