Absolutely satisfied with courses and college.

Placements: My college, Maritime Training Institute has 100% placement. It is affiliated to the Indian Maritime University. The placements are sponsored by Shipping Corporation of India Limited (sole government shipping company). 70% of the shipping fraternity belongs to MTI.

Best college in shipping industries of India.

Placements: Actually, I studied in Maritime Training Institute, Powai which is managed by Navratna company Shipping Corporation of India. Mti-Science university campus is Indian maritime University Chennai. The students who studied in MTI-SCIall get placement in Shipping Corporation of India. But you have to top-ranked in Indian maritime University CET exams, and then you can get Science- MTI.

A stepping stone for marine life.

Placements: The placement is available but waiting period for the ship is about more than 2 years that is the only problem, but after one or two years, everyone will get the ship in the executive ship management company. There is a chance to get the ship in British Petroleum also where they also give placement for toppers.

One of the best academy in India, for mariners.

Placements: The college is good for the placements. Mostly, the students who are doing Diploma in nautical science are already paced by the company, and the company itself give the institution for the course but must have to pass the final exams in order not to lose his/his job.

Perfect institute for mariners because of perfect staff and well-maintained classrooms, etc.

Placements: In this good institute of the merchant navy, every student gets sponsored by different foreign companies as like Dynacom Tankers from Greece, Pacific International Lines from Singapore and much more. Our seniors get 100% results. Companies take interviews in which they ask questions from physics, maths, general knowledge and mostly, every student gets sponsored. Companies which come here mostly have a stipend ranging from 500$ to 1200$.

It is confirmed that you will be placed on a ship but the joining time is around 7-8 months.

Placements: There is a company sponsorship of executive ship management (ESM). 100% placements are there on completing the course. British Petroleum does the recruitment if you are eligible but ESM is confirmed. If you have a craze for the merchant navy, then this institute is good. The 1-year GME course is a short course to absorb the knowledge with good training at the ship-in campus in the last 6 months. The first 6 months are for the classroom programme.

Good if you are fully devoted or determined towards this profession.

Placements: Good with respect to other government colleges but not as good as the private colleges because private colleges have the MoU with some company. No internship is offered by the college. There are many companies which visit during campusing. Mostly, they join the ship as fifth engineer or trainee engineer.

Brilliant placements, facilities and faculty.

Placements: The placement condition is brilliant here. Almost 80% students get their company through campus and remaining 20% off campus. Foreign companies like FML, NYK and Indian companies like Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) visit the campus regularly and recruit the eligible cadets. The approximate salary a cadet gets during training period varies from $400-$800 or even more. Also, scholarly students can avail scholarship easily based on their rank.

How can I not recommend HIMT because its one of the best.

Placements: The placements at HIMT are way better than rest of the institute, In my batch nearly 85% are placed in various reputed companies like Synergy, Western Shipping, VR Maritime, Wallem, Feet Management, M.Sc. and D'Amico Shipping etc. Efforts put on by the management regarding the placements are appreciable, and they are reason behind all our success.
