I am studying BTech me ie marine engineering. Iam in the 3rd year now, academics in this college are quite good compared to other maritime colleges because the faculty in this college has good experience and knowledge.

Yes, Himt college has all the facilities and equipment. The classrooms are equipped with smart boards. The college do have a swimming pool and gym. There’s a ground of playing cricket football and all.

We will have the facilities to do gym,swimming etc. the college is too strict about its rules, so it’s very hard for a casual boy to sustain these rules you have to be tough and overall You’ll have a good environment to stay

Placements are very poor in this college, I am studying in 3rd right now, my seniors that is final year batch has only 1 officially placed cadet so the placement is very poor in this college but we can’t say that the placement remains like this it can boost up in the coming years

It costs you around 3lakhs 30 thousand per year and as we all know maritime colleges fee is high so we can’t do anything about it. It think 3lakhs in this college is ok if the placement is good. That’s my opinion
