The Maritime Training Institutes are largely involved in educating and training the nation’s youth for a Seafaring Career. This calls for a stringent regimental course curriculum that will implement a level of competency, caliber, discipline and attitude in the graduates, prior to their embarkation onships.
The Nautical Science & Marine Engineering careers are distinct from shore based careers, and need attention that is quite different from all other disciplines. The demands at sea are sometimes life threatening and our students are prepared for dealing with such exigencies, as no external resources or help is available in the middle of a vast ocean.
To attend to the same, quality of teaching and training are of utmost importance to inculcate and strengthen these traits.
Selection of the best Teacher cum Trainer is the baseline to maintain maritime standards at their highest levels.
Class-room activities improve upon their theoretical knowledge; and this is again is reinforced with practical demonstration and exercises in workshop. Simulation programs in Laboratories give near – real life experiences as at sea.
The cadet’s evolution into the best sea-farers in the country from the Institutes, does not happen merely through class room and workshop participation. The development of character, camaraderie, officer like personality, respect, and humble submission to Authority, are the key elements inculcated in them during their mandatory residency in theCampus.
The extracurricular activities in the form of seminars, debates, quizzes, competitions on stage, sports, swimming, parades and fall-ins are all designed and intended to bring about a sense of well- being and development to face the world while making a successful career for themselves. They ultimately become the assets of the nation and contribute to the wealth of the country.
Here experiences, academics, dedication, discipline, attitude, support and quality teaching with loyalty of a Teacher are the most valuable support to build strong Maritime Domain.
A Teacher or Trainer is someone who inspires to students to learn in every sense of life. Teachers or Trainers require to update their knowledge, teaching ability, planning continuously to improve themselves in line with student’s advancements.
As graduates, they are ambassadors of the MTIs. This label remains with the graduates for life. On this concept an Institution may be gauged by the levels of achievements of its Alumni.
IMU is proud to note several of its Alumni have excelled and held exalted positions in the Shipping Industry, Govt. of India Administrative Services and in other Domains past and present. Such success of the students can be attributed to the teachers who inspire and instill the desire and motivation into the students during their course curriculum.
Hostel life for cadets is also a learning process where they are taught to respect their seniors, guide their juniors, care for the environment, be thankful for the food and avoid wastage. Tidiness and hygiene are impressed upon by the teachers. These traits are essential requirements on board ship.
We the IMU Teachers are proud and happy to be contributing our best to the next generation of seafarers / students and shall continue to do so as long as sea transportation exists.
