Is Southern Academy of Maritime Studies closed?

Yes, it is. HIMT College (Hindustan Institute of Maritime Training) and Southern Academy of Maritime Studies are both reputable institutions for B.Tech in Marine Engineering in Chennai. While HIMT College offers a strong programme with good reviews and industry exposure, Southern Academy of Maritime Studies is known for its top-notch training facilities and industry-oriented curriculum. Both colleges have their strengths, with HIMT College excelling in certain aspects and Southern Academy of Maritime Studies providing exceptional training to groom future mariners effectively. Prospective students should consider factors like placements, facilities, and curriculum alignment to decide between these two esteemed institutions.

Yes it indeed is good to join but only if you can clear IMUCET-the entrance test for admission to IMU. IMU is the central government university and if you are interested in merchant navy then you should hit to one of the campuses of IMU. Be very clear of what stream you want to choose (B.Sc, B.Tech, DNS, etc.it is costly B.E. / B.Tech (12 courses) 3 L - 18.6 L . The placement rate recorded in IMU Kochi placement drive 2021 was 22% which was much lower than the last year's placement rate which was 52% in 2020. The college has not released its placement report for the year. About 70% of students are placed in many streams like MBA and Nautical Field. The average salary offered at IMU is 7 lac per annum with the highest package offered being 12 lakh per annum and the lowest is 5.5 lakh.

The college has not released its placement report for the year 2022. However, the 2021 placement statistics are available, according to which 100 students participated in the placement drive of 2021 and out of which 22 students got placed in top companies such as DHL, Airlift, APL Logistics, Adani Group, etc. So, the overall placement rate recorded was 22%. The overall placement rate dropped from 52% in 2020 to 22% in 2021. Placement package for Bsc nautical Science student is 36k-45k. and for DNS is 33k-35k, for MBA students package is 20k - 25k, for B.Tech placement is poor in chennai campus. This is better placements oppurtunities in equal terms of Southern Academy of Maritime Studies.

The placement records are comparatively improving year by year providing great expo to the cadets.

Placements: Around 90% cadets get placements on campus, depending upon the type of companies they get placed their salary varies. Chevron, NYK, Pacific Basin, Feet Management, Dynacom, Dynagas, Shell, TORM, MOL and many more. The role of trainee is offered for initial stages.

The placement rate recorded in IMU Kochi placement drive 2021 was 22% which was much lower than the last year's placement rate which was 52% in 2020. The college has not released its placement report for the year 2022.

In my opinion IMU kochi is better for B.Tech, if you want to pursue your career in engineering field.
