Ritu Raj Tiwary's Review On Institute Of Hotel Management - [IHM], Bangalore

I chose Ihm Bangalore because it is one of the top rated hotel Management colleges in India. Also it has a high percentage of placement. It is also run by the central government. In order to get admission in the central government HM institutes the students have to give a joint entrance exam (NCHM-JEE) conducted by National Council Of Hotel management. After the results are out the students have to fill up an online form and fill in the choice of institutes that they would like to study in and they are allocated institutes according to the rank secured in NCHM-JEE exam. The students can apply for upgradation of seats by going into the second or third round. Website for the college is :www.ihmbangalore.com The only thing bad about this college would be that as it is more than 40 years old some of the equipment are worn out.

All the aspiring hoteliers choose this course and I was on of them.a Also this is a dual degree course as it offers a bachelor's certificate in tourism from the Indra Gandi National Open University (IGNOU). The faculty student ratio would be 1:45. The faculty chosen for these institues should have a Master's degree in H&HA. The theory and the practical classes are well balanced for the better understanding of the students. There are theory as well practical examinations held 4 times a year(2 mid-sems and 2 end -sems). Regular attention in the classes and a week's revision befor the exams is enough for you to pass the examinations.

Semester 5 students are eligible for sitting in the placement. The companies that visit the college are from the hospitality sector, retail sector, as well as restaurants.

There are 4 major clubs in the college which organise events all over the year. There is not any necessity for buying the books but you have to maintain a journal for both theory amd practical classes. The books can be taken for reference through the library or can be bought by the recommendation of thr teachers.

The 1st sem fees as well as the admission fees is to be deposited at the time of admission and then fees is paid for each sem till the 6th semester. The fees are hiked by a certain percentage every year. There no scope of scholarship but the percentage pf getting on campur jobs is likely higher

There are 3 people accommodated in the hostel. They ate provided with meals 2 times a day and 3 times on weekends. Meal is good. Hostel is affordable.there is a cupboard for each student and a table and chair.
