CHENNAI: The string of controversies at Indian Maritime University (IMU) has taken its toll on its admissions too. Less than 50% of the seats are filled in most courses, and an MBA programme in Port and Shipping Management at the Cochin campus got just two students. They have now been moved to the Chennai campus.
The central university, founded in 2008 for specialised research and training programmes in maritime education, seems to have foundered early. IMU has more than 5,000 students studying in its six campuses around the country, and around 500 on the Chennai campus.
At a time when advanced law programmes are sought after in other national universities, the LLM in maritime law at the Chennai campus has few takers. "When the programme started two years ago, we had 17 students. Seven dropped out due to lack of teachers. Of the 10 students who enrolled last year, three left. This year, there are just five students," said an IMU official. The course, with a fee of 4 lakh for two years, has 30 seats.
