My college experience

The course curriculum is very practical. All the aspects of the course makes one ready for a career in Nautical and marine science. Though, the required level of theoretical knowledge is also imparted. A normal day can range from being okay to quite busy based on the classes that you have lined up for that particular day, sorry but there will be no "easy" days for you here. There will be one exam at the end of the diploma programme, for the certification of the degree.

Placement in our college boasts about 98% of students placed since its inception in 1998 from prominent shipping companies all over the world. The internship opportunities, however, college authorities do not directly look into and students can look for Internships on their own or through student run bodies.

The fee structure for the diploma programme is a bit on the higher side with Rs.390,000 for the whole course: tution fee- Rs. 172,500; Admission fee- Rs. 20,000 ; Other fee- Rs. 197,500. Many people look for financial assistance and/or scholarship programs for paying the same.

One thing in which the institute differs from others is its focus on academics. You won't find many student run clubs or fun events, etc here. Though, diversity is clearly seen here with people from different social backgrounds attend the comment.

I got decent marks in my 10+2 exams, which were enough for the qualifying percentage of marks, including physics, chemistry and maths as the core subjects. Then, I had to sit for an entrance test, the test was a bit on the difficult side but my ample preparation made sure that I got over the 50% marks which were the cut off and I got selected in the university.

As one might guess, the teachers here are very experienced and give a lot of impetus on discipline. Their way of teaching is in line with course structure. Most believe in providing real life example and experiences to make you learn. Apart from studies too, one can learn a lot from them- even how to lead one's life.
