In an attempt to bring in quality as well as transparency the Director General of Shipping has authorized 3 organizations to rate Maritime Training Institutes. The three organizations are "CRISIL", "ICRA" and CARE. The assessment is carried out course wise after a detailed study is done. The result is expressed as a number from 1 to 5, 1 being excellent and 5 below par.

"The grading factors in the long standing track record of CIMeT in conducting the GME course, strong parentage providing distinctive support in critical training areas, experienced faculty, sound evaluation techniques and effective quality systems &
processes".

"Both GME and DME are practical training courses with major part of the time devoted to workshop training. The workshop training is divided into basic and afloat training. Afloat training is imparted in the port workshop of CSPL ably leveraging its experience as well as in an independent power plant through an informal arrangement".

"CIMeT has a comprehensive and effective feedback system (both for students and faculty) implemented at quarterly intervals over the length of the course".

"CIMeT is an ISO 9001 : 2000 certified institution with a detailed quality manual in place. The quality objectives set are being implemented. Detailed work instructions are in place for both the courses and processes involved in conducting the course are
extensively documented imparting stability to the course quality. The institute also has a reputation in the industry aided by its parent which is likely to provide operational and financial support in the coming years. All these factors supported by a good management team will ensure sustainability in the short to medium term notwithstanding infrastructural shortcomings".
