Euphoric is the word of the moment to describe the state of the cadets in TMI. With a record 100% placement of the 2002 batch of cadets things couldn’t look better for the TMI family. With an exchange program on the anvil with Shanghai Maritime University and a visit by the members of the Singapore maritime authorities, once again proves that TMI is fast growing into an internationally renowned academic institute.

TMI COURSES AWARDED CRISIL "GRADE-1" RATING
Dr. N.P.Tolani and Mr.Rohet Tolani
Receiving The Honor
In a landmark development, TMI has been recently awarded CRISIL "Grade-1" for its B.S. Marine Engineering and B.S. Nautical Technology courses. The grading is an indication of TMIs outstanding success in placements besides the high standards of infrastructure and quality of education imparted by the graded courses at the institute with respect to the course objectives as stated by D.G. Shipping.
The grading comes after a series of observational visits by CRISIL officials, who took into consideration the excellent placement record, presence of qualified and experienced faculty, good infrastructure, good financial flexibility, professional and committed promoters as well as its link to BITS-Pilani.
BITS-Pilani is one pf the top 10 universities for technical education in India and has laid down the criteria for the selection of students and examination procedure. BITS is also responsible for the faculty training methodology followed in TMI. At the end of the 4 year course, cadets are awarded a degree from BITS-Pilani.
The monetary affairs of TMI are managed by Tolani Educational Foundation (TEF) and Nandlal Tolani Charitable Trust (NTCT) with the backing of Tolani Shipping Corp. Ltd. Not only does this provide financial flexibility but also helps raise the bar of educational standards providing merit scholarships to the cadets.

PASSING OUT PARADE OF THE 5TH PRE-SEA DECK CADET BATCH
 Passing Out Ceremony of
the 5th Deck Cadet Batch The passing out ceremony of the 5th pre-sea deck cadet batch was held on

ELEVATORS PROJECT
Autocad Design
Made By The Cadets A six member team of 2nd year
(M.E.) cadets comprising of Cdts.
BharatVerma, Chaitanya Shah,
Chandan Newar, Chirag Shetty and
Deepika Rao are in the process of
designing and fabricating a model
elevator for the new marine
electrical machinery laboratory. The
model is based closely to the
elevators present onboard merchant
vessels.
The project scores against
conventional projects, which are
more theoretical in nature, by
providing the cadets innovative
freedom as well as hands-on
practical knowledge.
NEW AIR-CONDITIONING PROTOTYPE
 The New Air Conditioning Prototype The faculty and cadets at
TMI have successfully
undertaken and
completed the design and
fabrication of an air
conditioning prototype for
marine application. The
purpose of the project is to
provide a study tool for
cadets by simulation of
onboard air conditioning
system , common
problems , and
troubleshooting.
The project consists of an year-round conditioning system, comfort
conditioning system, and unitary conditioning system. The system
employs a 1.5 tones Kirloskar Copeland compressor with a
displacement of 39.28 cm3/rev. The condenser has a cooling capacity
of 18000 BTUs/hr and a fan of 850.35 cfm.
All design calculations for the system, and the subsequent
procurement of the various components was carried out by the cadets
under the able guidance of the TMI faculty.
The cost of the entire trainer built in-house is under Rs 1 lakh. A similar
model of Indian make would have cost the institute close to Rs 3.5
lakhs while a model of a foreign make would have cost over Rs 5 lakhs.
