Good Placement Opportunities and Experienced Marine Faculty Members

Placements: I would like to proudly say that HIMT College is one of the best in terms of placements. Top shipping companies like D'Amico, Maersk, M.Sc., Dynacom, MOL, and Goodwood are recruiting cadets for all departments, including Nautical Science, Marine Engineering, and ETO. My batch has a strength of 30, with 8 cadets placed in D'Amico Shipping and Synergy halfway through the course. The placed cadets will start as Trainee Marine Engineers (TME) and will earn around 750 USD per month, with potential in...

Pursuing GME with Synergy sponsorship at HIMT.

Placements: The placements at HIMT are very good compared to the other training institutes, because in our batch, 85 percent of the cadets got placed in various companies like Synergy, IMEC, Fleet Management, etc. My placement story has been one roller coaster ride. There have been so many ups and downs throughout this journey but by god's grace I came out victorious.

Pursuing GME at HIMT with IMEC sponsorship.

Placements: HIMT has good placement records and sponsorships. Our batch’s placement is about 85%. Most of them are under sponsorship programs and others received placements in various companies like D'amico, Sanmar shipping, and Eastaway. I was sponsored by IMEC. It's the International Maritime Employers Council. HIMT guided me to get through IMEC sponsorship. My starting salary as an apprentice is about 750 USD, and once I'm promoted, my salary would be around 2000-10000 USD per month.

Good faculty, good environment of the college, placement not good, food also not good.

Placements: There is no opportunity for placement. They only focus on girls' placement. I scored 77%, but I didn't get a single opportunity from the campus. They just said companies will come but our course is only for boys, yet we didn't see a single company. All the companies came for B.Sc. They just told us to give exams for formality. Everyone knows that companies will not take DNS.

Right place to do your DNS.

Placements: I recently completed the DNS course from HIMT College. I found it to be a very valuable experience. If you want to join the Merchant Navy, this is one of the ways. To join this course, you have to give the IMUCET exam, then you have to take sponsorship from companies like Synergy, Fleet, VR, etc. Only then can you join this course. The placement is 100% for this course because you are already sponsored when you join the course. The starting package will be from $500 to $600. It will increase whe...

Best college for B.Sc. Nautical Science in India.

Placements: The B.Sc batch of 2024 saw 90% placement. The major recruiters are Damico, MOL, MOLTA, Eastaway, Marshal Shipping, Sanmar, etc. I am glad to have been placed in Sanmar Shipping with a starting package of 60,000. If you stay all clear throughout your semesters, you will definitely get placed.

The college is satisfying and the placements are good.

Placements: The cadets should not have any arrears during their academic time. They are recruited by companies like Synergy, Damico, Sanmar, Maritime, Molme, Molta, Chellaram, Chellship, BSM, and BSW Dynacom. The batch which is about to pass out this year has around 80 cadets out of which 60 got placed. Last year’s batch had 90% placements rate.

The best maritime college in South India for B.Sc. Nautical Science.

Placements: It was always a better choice to choose HIMT College for my career progress, as today I stand proudly in front of my parents with a job in hand as I pass out. I am placed in D'Amico, and so are my friends too. HIMT College really helped us a lot in training for the interview.

Review of Hindustan Institute of Maritime Training (HIMT).

Placements: The placement program on campus is good; we have companies like MOL Management India, MOL Tankers, EAST-AWAY X-Press Feeders Pvt Ltd, etc., coming in. To be honest, not everyone will get placed on campus, but management tries its best to get everyone placed in companies, even after passing out. Currently, 50% of our batch is placed, hoping to achieve 100% placement before graduating from college.

In terms of infrastructure and education, the college is unparalleled. Value for money.

Placements: Our whole batch was unplaced except for one student in the beginning. Although, throughout our course period, around 50% of the students were provided with the opportunity for an interview and got placed, the college stays in touch with students even after passing out to make sure everyone gets at least one opportunity for a placement. It is not the best in terms of the placement; they will not guarantee the placement either, but they will push our names forward to the companies.
