This college is a fair choice but there are many other colleges with high value.

Placements: The college mainly attracts placements for very basic roles in the industry. There are almost no international placements unless you count flyers from various recruitment agencies in Kolkata. The locations of the recruiting hotels are very diverse. They are offering placements in all locations in India. The college does make sure that students are placed in good hotels for their industrial training.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very mediocre considering the fees that are charged to students. The kitchens are good and properly furnished.

Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant, but it needs a bit more thoroughness. Exams are a bit questionable, with some internals not being taken seriously.

Other: IIHM focuses more on advertising than on the actual education that it should be imparting to students. The college organises a fair number of fests in which the participation of students is greatly encouraged.
