Remarks

The eligibility for the course is 12th pass (PCM) with an aggregate above 65%. Admission process starts in May and is done through IMU-CET which is an online common entrance test for all IMUs. The form costs around 1000 and is available on the official website of IMU. Standard reservation criteria are followed which gives benefit in marks scored by reserved category candidates. Cut-off marks depend on the number of participants each year. The admission process is quite well organised with all details being provided on the official website of Indian Maritime University.

Course Curriculum Overview

Marine engineering is a way to make a career in the merchant navy industry as an engineering officer. Almost all the major faculty are ex-sailors so it is quite an experience to learn from people having vast experience in the industry themselves. The course is divided into 8 semesters.

Companies start taking placement exams in the 6th semester. Anglo-eastern, fleer management, and MSC are top industry leaders hiring directly from campus interviews. These companies provide paid training as cadets onboard merchant ships paying around 500-900 USD per month. After completing training and receiving coc salary is increased up to 2500-3000 USD. At the time of completion, of the course, almost all the eligible students are placed.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee is reasonable which is around 10 lakh for the complete course including a hostel as this course is a residential programme. The scholarship is provided on the basis of marks and rank scored in the semester exam.

Campus Life

The annual fest 'Tempest' is organised every year in the month of November. There is a fully air-conditioned library inside the college building having all types of study material for the maritime industry. Classrooms are equipped with projectors for a better learning experience. There is a number of different sports (Cricket, football, hockey, basketball, volleyball etc.) played on the campus. The campus has a stadium-size ground to play at.

Placement Experience:

I don't have idea about the placements since I'm in first year now. But I talked to a senior and got to know that many got multiple offers in 4th year. I also head that packages are around 4 lpa which is a decent and also a rise than the previous year.

The summary of my four years in one of the oldest colleges in India

Placement Experience:

The campus placements happen in final year of the course. There is a well established placement cell to conduct the on-campus placements. Many well renowned companies visit our college namely Microsoft, Google, TI, TSL, PWC, ICICI, ABG. L&T, etc. The highest package was 50LPA and the average was around 9LPA. Over 90% students got placed from across every department and details of the placement is also available in the college official website. I have gotten a job from the on-campus drive to a core company.

THERE ARE FAR BETTER OPTIONS

Placement Experience:

The placements of our college are below average. Studies for placement are more or less relevant from second semester. companies like tcs, amazon etc do visit our campus however very few are selected with package above 4-5 LPA. Most of the students seek out for higher studies and that's my plan too.

Ramkrishna Mahato Government engineering College Review

Course Curriculum Overview:

It's my decision from class 12 that I will do civil engineering, so I chose the civil branch, the course curriculum is well and the teaching level is good but the main problem is lab, there is very limited classes for lab, so I think they should improve there.

Placement Experience:

After the 6th semester, the students are eligible for placements. Mass recruiters like TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Accenture, Capgemini, etc visit every year and pick up 80-100 students per company. Other companies like Amazon, Thoughtworks, Etc also visit the college. The highest package offered by our college is 15LPA by Thoughtworks. Every year around 75-80% of students get placed on campus. I plan to get a good job work for 2-3 years and then apply for Masters. Overall the placement is very nice in this college.
