For DGMA / DG Shipping-Approved MTIs Only
HBIMS-NAF&SA™
Stop Chasing Admissions. Start Governing Intake.
Every vacant seat has a cost. Every wrong candidate has a bigger cost.
HBIMS-NAF&SA - National Admission Framework & Seat Assurance is built for Maritime Training Institutes that want a cleaner, documented, parent-aligned and seat-ready candidate pipeline without losing institutional control.
This is not an agent model. This is not commission-based admission. This is not a recruitment service.
This is a principal-to-principal, MOU-governed intake framework designed to help MTIs receive screened, counselled, medically aware, document-ready candidates while preserving 100% MTI authority over final admission.
“The institute that controls its intake controls its reputation.”
The Problem
The ProblemWhy MTIs Need a Governed Intake Framework
Many MTIs are not short of demand. They are short of controlled, verified, serious and document-ready demand.
Without a governed framework, MTIs face seasonal admission uncertainty, rising marketing cost, weak lead quality, unserious enquiries, parent confusion, incomplete documents, last-minute medical issues, fake-agent pressure, brand misuse, refund disputes, no-show candidates, dropout risk, no structured MIS, no candidate traceability and compliance anxiety.
“Every non-compliant lead is a liability. Every governed candidate is an asset.”
Governance, not marketing
Governance, not marketingWhat Is HBIMS-NAF&SA™?
Humble Bee Education Foundation is a Section 8 not-for-profit organisation registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
CIN: U80904RJ2018NPL116834
HBIMS is the brand name of Humble Bee Education Foundation. HBIMS-NAF&SA / NAF&SA is the trademark and copyright product / framework of Humble Bee Education Foundation.
HBIMS-NAF&SA operates as a documented admission-support, eligibility screening, counselling, medical-readiness awareness, dossier preparation and seat-mapping framework for maritime aspirants.
HBIMS-NAF&SA does not conduct DGMA-approved training, does not issue certificates, does not act as a manning agency, does not guarantee jobs and does not override MTI authority.
The MTI remains the final academic, administrative and admission authority.
“NAF&SA does not ask an MTI to surrender authority. It gives the MTI a cleaner pipeline to exercise that authority.”

Commercial
CommercialCommercial Framework
Risk-sharing, not seat buying
The HBIMS-NAF&SA commercial model should be documented through the signed MOU and its annexures.
- Seat matrix planning
- Course-wise intake forecast
- Performance Assurance Deposit, where mutually agreed
- Vacancy-risk sharing, where mutually agreed
- Candidate pipeline reporting
- No commission from MTI course fee

Important Commercial Clarification
Any PAD or performance assurance structure is a commercial risk-sharing arrangement only. It is not capitation, seat buying, commission, brokerage, admission guarantee, employment guarantee, ownership of any seat or restriction on MTI rejection rights.
The MTI retains final decision on every candidate.
“A seat is not assured because money moved. A seat is assured when process, eligibility, documentation and institutional acceptance align.”
