IHM Kolkata- Among The TOP 5 Hotel Management Colleges In India

I chose this course because of its practical nature, you can learn things hands-on, this college offers a Bsc course where you can learn about 4 departments, - that is Front Office, Food and Beverage Service, House Keeping and Food Production, The faculties here were highly educated and had industrial experience, there were 5-6 teachers for each subject, Many teachers were pursuing PhD, and many were MBA Graduate. Our Exams were taken twice in a Semester, and you will obviously pass if you study, or else it will be difficult.

The college provides internships during 2nd year and it is divided into 2 groups - the summer batch and the winter batch, all companies come to take students as an intern, as it's totally beneficial for them as they get workers with minimum wage. So the college already helps to get you into any of the 5-star properties for an internship, apart from that you can also arrange for one and take an NOC from college. I was selected for ITC Royal Bengal. There are no specific tasks during internship, you have to do each and everything that the hotel says mostly at the basic level. Basically, you will experience all four areas - housekeeping, food and beverage service, front office and food production at the base level, and sadly the stipend is very much less with most hotels offering a maximum of ? 2000.

Our college promises 100% placement, and to be honest it keeps its promise! Students become eligible for placement from the 4th Semester itself. Many companies came such as all popular 5-star hotels such as Taj, ITC, Park, Leela, Westin, etc. accompanied by numerous retails such as Domino's, Reliance, Aditya Birla, Starbucks, Biryani By Kilo, etc. My plan is to pursue higher education as said earlier.

The Total Fee for the Course - BSc in Hospitality and Hotel Administration is ? 4 Lakhs for the tenure of 3 years, which includes both NCHMCT of the affiliating board and IGNOU. If your score is above 90% on your boards you could apply for a scholarship. The college hikes the fees every 4-5 years due to inflation. College helps students to get their internship in 2nd year as it has various sources with top hotels! I was placed in ITC Royal Bengal and got a stipend of? 1500, yes Due to COVID the stipend was this low, but job packages were like average of 2.5 LPA, I did not take one as I decided to do higher studies.

Life at the campus is strictly based on yourself, If you are open-minded, love to make friends, and enjoy yourself then you can do so, but if you are an introvert then it's on you. But our college had some strict rules like we couldn't leave college before 4 PM and we had to keep a minimum of 75% attendance. As it is a hotel management college our biggest event was Food Fest and the name was kept based on the theme and the food cuisine for example - "Ek Shaam Gujrat Ke Naam" is generally hosted during winter. We have smart classrooms with projectors, but unfortunately, classrooms aren't air-conditioned. For Sports, there was carrom basketball, football, cricket, and ground to play in!

This is one of the top Central Government Colleges that offers Hotel Management Courses, so for this it is a must to take an Entrance Exam named - NCHMCT JEE (National Council Of Hotel Management and Catering Technology) to get this college that is IHM Kolkata, if you are General you have to keep your rank within 2000, and if you are SC or ST you can get here easily as because is goes up to 20,000 and up, so as improvement I want the cutoff of SC and ST should come down as this is totally unfair to the general candidates as there is a gap of perhaps more than 20000.
