Overview

About GKM Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology

GKM Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology is an engineering college in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. GKM Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology is privately managed and self-financing. GKM Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology offers 2 programmes at postgraduate level. They are Gme (Graduate Marine Engineering) and B.Sc - Nautical Science. The official GKMIMST website describes a Directorate General of Shipping-approved marine-training institute at Perungalathur, Chennai, offering B.Sc. Nautical Science, Graduate Marine Engineering (GME) and STCW courses, plus logistics programmes. It does not publish target-year 2026-27 engineering intake, AICTE Extension of Approval, faculty totals, attendance, medium, research metrics or named industry MoUs in the reviewed pages. The official site names Dr. K.P. Jagannathan as Director, not Principal. Do not conflate this unit with the separate GKM College of Engineering and Technology; the latter appears on a different official host (gkmcet.net.in). The website contains legacy references, including a 2018 logistics admission deadline, so current 2026-27 status is not established. The official college pages identify this unit as a Directorate General of Shipping-approved maritime training institute offering B.Sc. Nautical Science, Graduate Marine Engineering and logistics/maritime courses; they do not establish AICTE engineering-college recognition, a 2026-27 AICTE EoA, Anna University affiliation, TNEA participation, or a state fee-order entry. Therefore no engineering programme approval/intake, affiliating university, university code, CET code, NBA, NAAC or NIRF value is asserted. The official site states that Suganthi Educational Trust was established in 1995, but that is the trust's date and is not used as the college's establishment year.
