The college is really good, it does not lack in anything. My ratings for the everything in the campus will be 9 out of 10.

The all india exam for entry in merchant navy is IMU-CET. My rank was 174 ALL INDIA RANK I got sponsored by a company and then they had affiliation with the college mentioned above.

Fee structure is pretty reasonable of this course and this college. It covers the fees of faculty, the hostel, the food included and also all modular courses. Since its in the outskirts of pune so commuting because expensive.

Scholarship is not there for my course but in the end of the course you get a overall performance award of ten thousand which is decided on the basis of overall curriculum performance.

Campus is about 37 acres which includes the accounts area, examination area, academics building, seamanship labs, physics and chemistry labs, the laundry is also there. Even there is residential area for the faculty and the principal.

The hostel facilities and mess food are damn good and pretty reasonabke. The rooms are on sharing basis with two persons in one room. The toilets and bathing area are common.

There is courses for marine engineering, bachelors of science for nautical science and diploma for pre sea students. So the engineering course is for four years. BSc for three years and diploma course for one year.

Exams are not so tough. The first semester papers are basically maths, English, physics, chemistry, meteorology, bridge equipment, navigation, chart work. And the second semester has all nautical based subjects which are navigation, meteorology, chart work, bridge equipment and rest I forgot.

The faculty is excellent and they are all experienced sailors and captain and engineers who teach there. Gained a lot of knowledge with the college and faculty and the infrastructure is superb.
