How is AIHM Chandigarh to be a part of

After online counselling, there's physical reporting where one has to go to the college and submit all of their documents like 10th and 12th mark sheet, NCHM Letter, fee receipts etc. After all the formalities, the child is officially admitted to the college. The process is quite clear, easy and comfortable.

I chose this course because of the existing and bubbling scope in the hospitality and tourism industry. The course curriculum is of three years, with an Industrial Training of 17 weeks in the 2nd year. There are separate faculty for each subject, core as well as ancillary. Every teacher is well qualified. All have bachelors and masters degrees and are TET qualified. Some have a PhD too. Exams were always scheduled timely as per NCHM guidelines and were carried out smoothly. Passing completely depends upon how the child performs. Attendance plays an important role. A minimum of 75% is important with 10% relaxation on medical grounds.

One has to do an internship in a 4 or 5 star hotel only as a mandatory part of the course. It is called industrial training and is done in all 4 departments of the hotel. Hotels like Oberoi, itc, Hyatt, Marriot, taj etc come up as per their requirement for the trainees. One need to get an appraisal form from all the four departments and a training certificate from the hotel. Appreciation letters from departments can get you brownie points.

Students become eligible for placement in their third year. Usually at the end of the 5th semester. Companies like taj, Oberoi, itc, Marriot, Hyatt, roseate, dominos, mc Donalds, KFC, pizza hut, Starbucks, haldirams, Bikanervala etc comes for campus placement. They provide jobs from entry level to management trainee. The highest package for a management trainee can go up to 25,000 before the probation period ends. The average salary ranges from 10,000 to 15,000. Nearly 85-90% of students get placed. I'm pursuing masters after my degree.

I did not sit for the campus as I had to pursue my masters. But I got my internship at 3000INR per month. Some got their internship at even 5 to 6000. The college also provides the chance to have an internship abroad. The scholarship is given to those which weaker economical backgrounds. If found valid on the ground, students get a fee concession. Other than that, college toppers and all india toppers are given prize money too.

The college has various clubs like Kitchen, organising, fnb, cultural, editorial, media and photography. All of these are run by students and supervised by faculty. It is upon the free will of the students what club they want to choose. The college participates in various local fests where these clubs work, other than college events.

Rooms are 3-tier sharing for both girls and well boys in all three years. It has electricity and food included. Usually, lunch is served in the college, but during exams and holidays, the hostel serves lunch as well, apart from breakfast and dinner. The hostel is open during small holidays too. It is provided on a merit basis. The quality of food is okay but hygienic. The menu is cyclic. One has to contact the warden for hostel registrations and can start living after submitting the fees. It is around 20,000 for a semester (food, water and electricity included) One can take PGs or rent room in nearby places like sectors 40, 41 and 42 easily.
