a month agoThe college will be the start of my new journey thanks to great faculty with their expertise and knowledge in the maritime field. Shout out to Albert sir, Gloria miss, Ajith sir and the hod of efa who motivated us for the exit exams and our mentality to the subjects even though its a whole new territory for a lot of us in our batch. Gained a lot of practical knowledge too which was fun and a great learning curve. Thanks to all my batchmates too who made this experience a fun one. The food was great but lack the meat portion and so the 4star apart from that it was excellent experience all in all.
