Nice environment, Student support system, living in a whole different world.

I chose my course at AMET University because the curriculum emphasises practical marine engineering skills and simulator training, which are crucial for real-world applications. It prepares me well for both onboard roles and further studies. Exams are held twice a semester—internals and finals

The year wise fees in my college for my course is ?3.15 lakhs including all the tution and hostel fees. The BSc Nautical Science is a 3 year course so they have a lesser fees which turns out to be about ?10 lakhs for whole of three years.

At AMET University, the annual cultural fest “Suraksha” is usually held in January, while the technical fest “TechnoMaritime” takes place around February. The library has a wide range of books and journals, especially in marine and engineering fields, and is easily accessible to all students. Classrooms are equipped with smart boards, projectors, and Wi-Fi for effective learning. The campus offers various sports like football, basketball, and indoor games, along with extracurricular activities such as NSS and yoga. There are active student-run clubs for technical, cultural, and social events, which greatly enhance campus life and student engagement.

I applied to a few colleges like Anna University and SRM but got confirmed admission only at AMET University. I chose AMET because of its strong focus on maritime studies and practical training, which other colleges lacked. I faced rejection elsewhere mainly due to lower entrance exam scores. AMET’s admission process requires passing 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Maths, and accepts scores from TNEA and other engineering entrance exams, with TNEA being the most preferred. Cutoffs vary yearly but are reasonable. Overall, the admission process was smooth and transparent, making it a good experience for me.

As a student at AMET University, the faculty-to-student ratio is decent, allowing good interaction. Most faculty members are approachable and supportive, making it easy to clarify doubts. I especially liked Prof. Ramesh Kumar for his clear teaching and practical approach, and Dr. Meena for her mentorship. Some faculty could improve in communication and engagement, but overall, most are dedicated. There are two main exams each semester—internal and end-semester—which are moderately challenging. Few students fail if they stay consistent. The course curriculum is mostly relevant, focusing on practical skills, though occasional updates would help keep it aligned with industry trends.

At AMET University, the gym is open from 6 AM to 9 PM, and cafeterias close by 8 PM. The library operates from 8 AM to 6 PM, while public areas close around 10 PM. Hostel timings require students to return by 10 PM, and the campus gates close at 11 PM. Popular hangout spots on campus include the student lounge and garden areas. Nearby, places like Marina Beach and local cafes are common hangouts. The locality is generally safe during the day, but students are advised to avoid roaming late at night for safety reasons.
