    Students Review for HIMT College Chennai

    Excellent Maritime Institute

    Verified ReviewPlacements

    HIMT enjoy a stellar reputation with major shipping companies such as MOL, Goodwood, Marlow, Marshal, Eastaway, Maersk, MSC, and many more. These companies visit the campus to recruit students, with those having strong academic records gets placed easily even before completion of course. So Placement basically depends on the cadet as the college do its best to get companies then it totally depends on us how we perform in interview. As of now out of 30 students in my batch 8 cadets got placed and more would be placed by the end of the course.

    Best Maritime College in India

    Verified ReviewPlacements

    HIMT has good reputation with major shipping companies like MOL, Goodwood, Marlow, Marshal, Eastaway,Maersk, MSC and many more, the companies visit college frequently and shortlisted students with good academic records are grabbed batch by batch.in my batch out of 40, almost 36 are placed already in various companies. The initial joining period we will be apprentice so the salary is somewhere around 60000 per month, once we become competent officers salary rise from 2 lakhs to 15 lakhs per month based on experience. That's why I chose this field.
