Rahul's Review On Institute Of Hotel Management - [IHM], Gurdaspur

The program focuses on travel and hospitality sector.The duration of the course is three years in which the students are given knowledge and practical training about the hospitality industry.Subjects taught in this course relate to hotel engineering, nutrition, management in tourism, principle of food science etc.We are also given training on the foundation course related to food production & beverage service, accommodation operations .

The placement of the college is 80% with the leading hotel chains of the country, many retail companies that have come to our college at my time.The college gets its placement from different hotels such as Hyatt, Oberoi, The Taj, Marriott, Leela palace for roles such as management trainee, hotel manager, Food & Beverages manager, Housekeeping manager etc.The salary package ranges from 25,000 to 60,000 per month.The college also provides internships with a starting stipend of 10,000 per month for a duration of 3 to 4 months.

The tuition fees for first & second semester is 66663 and 45183 respectively.The total for one year comes down to 3.08 L. The fees is quite expensive but if I see that the opportunities the college has provided us with this would be nothing. the total for three years would be approx 10L after including all the other relevant charges.

Fests are organised by the student council every year to promote the student participation. Activities such as face mask & painting , music competition, inter dance competition, baking, photography, stunting etc are held in our college from time to time to uphold the interests of the students. Workshops and seminars are organised to give more knowledge about the hotel industry to the students. Sports activities such as football, basketball, chess etc are also conducted with the divided teams and the winning team claims the trophy.

The college has two computer labs in the main building provided with a high speed internet connection.The campus also have a AV light facility where the students can access the internet.The hostel rooms are quite big and clean.Separate hostels are provided to both boys and girls.The mess & canteen food is also very good. The college has provided its students with basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton courts. The library of the college is well equipped with books of hotel administration. Moreover the college campus is spread over 14 acres and has been ranked as the number 1 in infrastructure among all colleges related to the same field.

For the admission in this college you need to give an entrance test of JEE which is conducted by the NCHMCT regulatory body. You need to get a good rank to pursue your said course. You can apply for the college online and fill in the details. Further upload the documents.I had received a pretty good rank in the exam and was later call for counselling session and granted admission.

The college has such teachers which have been in the hospitality industry for more than 10+ years.They always motivates students to keep their spirit high ans to achieve great heights in whatever career they are pursuing. Every doubt on the part of student is duly solved by the faculty members .They focuses on more practical teaching rather than gaining knowledge from theoretical subjects.Overall I would say that the teachers are really friendly and supportive.
