    I am very satisfied with my college because I got placed in a good hotel. A good college.
    Placements: From my college, about 100% of students got placed in different companies. Top recruiting companies like Hilton, Taj, Four Seasons, and Hyatt. And roles are chosen by the students themselves, they can choose which roles they require. The highest package was around 85000 Rs, and the smallest package was around 18000 Rs. Internship was a part of the students second year of college; every student got an internship with different brands.
    Infrastructure: College infrastructure is actually good; like, almost all of the classrooms are smart. They are providing around 6 professional kitchen setups for the students. The library and computer lab are also part of this college. And hostels are good, especially because the food is so good when we compare it to other college hostels. They are providing food in the mess. The canteen setup is not there. Sports and game facilities are there, like an indoor badminton court, a basketball court, a small football ground, and a volleyball court. Medical facilities provide a first aid facility.
    Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and very supportive. Every faculty member is a qualified professional with the best knowledge and teaching quality. This course helps most of the students achieve their goals in this industry. Semester exams are actually easy. Most of the students will understand easily by studying. The pass percentage is 30%.
    Other: I chose this course because I aim to become a professional chief, and after lots of research, I came to know this college is the best. The best things are teaching quality and placement. The thing that needs to improve is campus size and facilities. So many events are there, like Cata Fest, Food Festival, etc.

    The pros and cons of ihmct kovalam Trivandrum .
    Placements: The institute's placement cell has a strong track record of placing students in top hotels, resorts, and catering businesses. In the past years, IHMC Kovalam has had an impressive placement record. Packages offered: the highest salary offered was 8-10 lakhs per annum; the lowest package offered was around 2.5-3 lakhs per annum. Top recruiters like Taj, Oberoi, Marriott, ITC Hotels, and Hilton were among the top recruiters. Almost 85 percent got placed in good hotel groups. At the end of the day, our performance matters!
    Infrastructure: The campus is modern and well-equipped with world-class facilities like state-of-the-art training kitchens, a bakery, a front office lab, mock hotel rooms, and an auditorium. The institute also has hostel facilities for students who are far away from home, for both male and female students. The hostel rooms are good; the toilets are always clean because there are many people to take care of them. When it comes to the hostel mess, it's pretty decent. They serve non-veg 2-4 days a week on random days; there is no fixed menu. The food is eatable, nothing more. The hostel is fun; there are so many activities. Also, there are four ACs in a class!
    Faculty: The faculty members of IHMC Kovalam are well-experienced and highly qualified. I have to mention Rahul sir here because he is the main pillar of IHMC Kovalam. When talking about the exams, this is a college where if you have attendance, then you are ready for the exam. Exams are pretty easy; if you have common sense, you can pass the exam for sure. There are a lot of assignments to do here, so be prepared if you are considering admission here. This is an institution where your performance matters a lot. Always be attentive and presentable, and also be cool.
    Other: One thing that I should say is that the institute should conduct more programs. We have very few programs compared to other IHMs. The institute needs a little upgrade in the auditorium, but the rest is fine.

    All to know about IHM Trivandrum.
    Placements: From the past few years, all the students who have attended the placements have gotten 1 or 2 job offers. Top recruiters like Hyatt, Taj, Hilton, Four seasons and many quick-serving restaurants visits our college for placements. Roles starting from entry-level to management trainee positions are offered. The placements happens around November and December.
    Infrastructure: The college has a well-functioning computer lab, library, well-equipped training kitchen, restaurants, and many more. Basketball court, badminton court, volleyball court, atrium, and auditorium are also there. However, the infrastructure is not up to par.
    Faculty: Every faculty member in IHM has to clear a national-level test called NHTET, followed by a skill test and then an interview in order to become a faculty member in IHM. So, there is no doubt that they are educated and talented. Faculty members can be easily approached and they are always there for the needs of students. From 2023, the college comes under JNU certification, so the syllabus is a bit vast and sure it does make a student ready for the industry.
    Other: This course has huge potential. Numerous opportunities lie after this course, such as in the hotel industry, airlines, cruise lines, retail, human resources, sales and marketing, teaching, etc. One can always find their desired profession after choosing this course, which makes it more appealing.

    Faculty: Teachers are helpful. They always helped students. Some faculty members have not taken care of students' studies. If students are interactive in class, faculty members were friendly toward them. The course curriculum makes students industry-ready. We were the covid batch so we had online classes for 2 years. Online exams were good.
    Other: I opted for this course because I like cooking. It would be better if there will be some fun activities in the college. Some events were held in our college.
