Merchant Navy- Preparing for life.

Placements: Around 90% of my batchmates got placed in campus interview. Even after leaving the college, it was surprising that the placement team contacted the students who were not placed and offered them a chance to sit for interviews with other companies along with the exiting batch of students. Hence, definitely by now all my batchmates would have been placed and would be actively working onboard vessels.

It is a good college to get placements.

Placements: It was not a good college before, but nowadays our director and faculty members are working hard to make it as the finest college in future. I never judge any college for placements because it all depends on students. If they are capable enough, then they can easily get placed anywhere.

There's always room for improvement.

Placements: Many companies use to visit our college when there was a boom in shipping industry but during my time the market was down so there were less number of companies providing job to TME which effect our college placement ratio which was moderate with respect to market needs I myself got placed from outside the college but still efforts were made by the placement coordinator in order to bring companies to our college.

Review of Hindustan Institute of Maritime Training (HIMT).

Placements: Placements were pretty good. If you score well without any arrears, placement chances for you are high. Many companies visit the campus to offer placements, but it depends on how we perform in the interview. The placement team is helpful, and the staff help the shortlisted students to crack the final interview.

Review of Indian Maritime University, Chennai- Mumbai Campus MERI.

Placements: The college provides 100% of placement in worldwide companies, mostly in Singapore and India, and students can try for off-campus interviews. The college is the best for marine engineering. There are many opportunities, promising jobs, and chances for qualified candidates. Thanks to the government of India for many improvements.

Why to choose international maritime institute.

Placements: In this course we can only take admission if we are sponsored I. e before getting admission we have to give company exams for job. Placements in B.Tech are good many reputated shipping companies come for sponsoring B.Tech students like pil, M.Sc. aps, maersk and etc.

A government college and a good option. Go for it.

Placements: Yes there is a placement. Many of our seniors were placed last year. There is a placement cell also. For my batch the placement is going on and some of us are placed also. The minimum wages we get is $500 but it depends on company. Two to three companies visit the campus.

Really good infrastructure and faculty that helps bring up future mariners.

Placements: Placements in Samundra are completed on the day you join, this is currently the only marine Institute in India promising 100% inhouse Placements. If you are selected from the interview then your placement is already complete, that is the best part and performance is the University exams does depend, it is based on this marks the order of placement is decided Ofcourse the guy who gets ranked 1st will get placed 1st.

SIMS has a really good infrastructure.

Placements: Everyone will get in-house placement in executive ship and management ship. But, there will be a short waiting period according to the ranking. You just have to clear the IMU, medical and other tests. You will also have a chance to get a placement in British petroleum.
