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.

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
