Internship - B. S. Nautical Technology

Every student enrolled in the 4 year Nautical Technology programme is expected to spend thier final two semesters working as cadets on board a ship or in some other maritime related activity. This is a conscious effort to integrate university education with the industrial world and serves as a practical orientation, which helps students understand and deal with issues that are difficult to simulate in a classroom / laboratory situation.

As an intern, each student gets an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge base acquired on campus and to experience a real world environment of responsibility. This is of great importance to the learning and maturing process that students must go through.

The Internship Programme also forms the basis for eventual permanent placement of TMI graduates.

Assessment of Performance During Internship

During the internship period, the organisation with whom the student is udertaking the internship conducts periodic assessments of the intern's progress, performance and achievements. After completion of the program, the student submits a detailed report of his internship experience and makes a presentation of the same at the institute.

The overall grades obtained by a student during the internship semester take into consideration the assessment of both the organisation and TMI's faculty.

In order to ensure that the internship remains meaningful, TMI maintains close contact with ship-owning and ship-management companies as well with industries associated with the maritime industry.
