Real stories from seafarers who launched their careers at HIMT.
I got placed in BSM even before completing the GME course. The faculty and management at HIMT are incredibly supportive — they guide you at every step of placement drives.
HIMT's VR/AR labs are phenomenal. The practical training gives real ship experience before you even step aboard. The simulation facility is truly world-class in India.
Choosing HIMT was the most crucial decision of my life. I secured a sponsorship with Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement thanks to HIMT's rigorous industry standards.
HIMT has been honoured with the prestigious International Maritime Federation Award 2024 for outstanding contributions to maritime education and training standards across India and globally.
