Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is approved by DG shipping and complied with Marine industry requirements. We are made tough to handle any kind of stress at sea. 1at year has basic subjects and subjects which are not linked to sailing are also taught to make us fit for outer world too like coding electronics etc. In 8th semester there is only internship and no theory class so it goes like this on 4 years. They should give us some time for self development also.
Internships Opportunities
The internship opportunities are not provided before 7th semester and trainee Marine engineering is done .y all cadets after degree completion and going on board. Salary given then is appx 2.5 lakh for 6 months.
Placement Experience
Some elite students get placement in 2nd year, most get in 3rd years and leftovers get in 4th year. The companies visited are SCI, MSC, NYK, Wan hai lines , delos, delta corps, Chevron, BP, etc and offers made are10 lakh from 4th engineer which comes after completing tme period and clearing meo class4 exams. All packages are almost same in this industry and difference lies in ships types and conditions. Placement is about 90 percent. I am planning to sail after completion of degree.
Fees and Financial Aid
The campus fees is 11 lakh for 4 years which include all charges from tution to hostel and later certificate charges are also included. In campus employment is not possible as we don't get enough time for that and hostel is compulsory as part of training. It is tier 2 college so loans from all banks are easily available. The course is expensive but its worth it because machines and simulatiors used here are too expensive.
Campus Life
The biggest fest held is tempest in February which is biggest Marine fest of Asia. There are other literature and technical events too and different sports events. Library is large and has many books related to shipping. There are groups like sainyatri writers club etc. The social life is also nice as Cadets are always together to enjoy.
