B.Tech in Marine Engineering at IMU Kolkata

Indian Maritime University, Kolkata campus is the oldest, most prestigious and the best university among all the IMU campuses. It has got a very strong alumni support that are helpful for their juniors and do a lot for the university. The university has a very strong placement record with most of the cadets being placed in top shipping companies. The hostel mess is decent and you can have your 3 meals of the day without much of a problem.

The course that I have chosen at Indian Maritime University Kolkata campus is B.Tech in Marine Engineering. Marine engineering is still a very less known about field in India and has a lot of potential to grow. To get yourself enrolled here, one must clear IMU CET exam with a good rank and must appear for IMU counseling. One must be perfectly fit in order to join this field ensuring that you do not have any problems mentioned on the DG shipping site.

The total fees in IMU Kolkata for B.Tech (Marine Engineering) is Rs. 1,25,000 per semester and including other expenses it goes upto Rs. 2,75,000 per year. This fee includes the mess fee, hostel fee and uniform fee. There are a couple of government scholarships, which you can apply for, but there isn't any specific scholarship provided by the University.

The faculty members are really supportive to the cadets both academically and emotionally. Most of the faculty members are well educated having a strong academic background with most of them being from IIT's, NIT's and other reputed counterparts. All the classrooms are well furnished with air conditioning and other essential equipments. IMU Kolkata has got one of the best and largest workshops in India which contains boiler room, engine room and various other parts which a cadet will be working on to give him a prior experience.

The infrastructure is decent with mostly all the hostels well furnished and maintained neatly. The academic building is newly built and is equipped with all the necessary things. The campus is spread over 33 acres, having a separate space for all the sports, a large auditorium, dispensary, cafeteria etc. It has a large library consisting of books from various genres. Most of the classrooms are equipped with projectors for better teaching experience.

The Campus life campus is really great. Starting the day at 6:00 clock in morning, it ends at 9:00 clock at night. The day is tightly packed with a cadet indulged in various other activities other than academics. Sports is an essential part of a cadets’ life at IMU Kolkata. I can assure that one will really enjoy this time.
