The layout of the Academic Block has been designed by taking into account good air circulation, maximising the natural light (thereby reducing power consumptions), wide corridors, reduction of noise levels from the workshops and also provide an aesthetic view.
The CLASSROOMS are spacious, well laid out, equipped with all necessary aids for effective teaching. The academic block houses the SEMINAR HALL, DRAWING HALL for Engineering drawing and CHARTROOM for chartwork practices. Each of these halls are in excess than 2000 sq.ft in size.
The curriculum for the courses demands for well equipped LABORATORIES for each discipline. The various laboratories in the Academic Block are designated as PHYSICS LAB; CHEMISTRY LAB; ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRONICS LAB; HYRAULICS, PNEUMATICS AND REFRIGERATION LAB, SEAMANSHIP LAB & COMPUTER LAB.
Apart from providing textbooks and notes to each student, it is necessary to enhance the knowledge by providing a well stocked library with a wide range of reference books, journals and magazines. The LIBRARY caters for this need and the students are encouraged to use it.
The effect of simulations greatly enhances understanding of concepts. A FULL MISSION BRIDGE SIMULATOR adds tremendous value and is a fantastic tool to impart the Navigation Watchkeeping concepts to the students. Apart from the full mission simulator, a STEERING SIMULATOR is made available to the students for effective steering of a ship.
There is a wide range of machineries used on a merchant vessel. The actual operating and working principles of these machineries are demonstrated effectively through the ENGINE ROOM SIMULATOR.
