Anglo Eastern Maritime Academy (AEMA) Review (5/5)

Anglo Eastern Maritime Academy is No. 1 Maritime academy in India with 100% Placement record in 600+ Anglo Eastern managed vessels sailing across the globe, although the system around in AEMA is quite strict.

• There are also various restrictions in the college like you’re not allowed a mobile phone with a camera (as when I passed out in 2021), you can only go out on Sunday’s, that too for a limited period.
• The training is actually quite better than any other maritime college for DNS, and the classes are also decent enough.
• The weather in karjat is also decent, although it continuously rains here for 3-4 months after the season starts.

But dont expect the atmosphere to be like engineering colleges where people are partying, drinking, ordering food… No such thing is allowed and discipline shall be maintained at all times (people have been rustigated for these things)

So I suggest people to make a mindset before going to this college, as it’s a merchant navy college, it’s going to be totally different.

Yeah you’ll also have fun here, no doubt, cause shipping is actually quite an interesting subject, and everything you read or study here can be directly applied on the ship.

So I wish you well for future and make your decisions wisely.
