It has below-average placements, good infrastructure, and disappointing facilities.
Placements: About 60% of students were placed in the previous batch. Anglo-Eastern, M.Sc. Seven islands and Synergy are the top recruiting companies. About 40% of students got internships.
Infrastructure: It has excellent infrastructure but average facilities. The facilities available in the college hostel include free Wi-Fi for all students. The quality of food available is poor. Sports and games are below average. We have more studies than sports.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The exams are difficult, and we get arrears in exams.
Other: There must be more placement opportunities and a better sports curriculum. Events conducted in college are below average.

Q:   Does IMU Kochi offer better placements than Southern Academy of Maritime Studies?

A:

However, the 2021 placement statistics are available, according to which 100 students participated in the placement drive of 2021 and out of which 22 students got placed in top companies such as DHL, Airlift, APL Logistics, Adani Group, etc. So, the overall placement rate recorded was 22%. The overall placement rate dropped from 52% in 2020 to 22% in 2021.
