The best institute for Hotel Management. Best placements with great facilities and infrastructure.

Placements: The placements in our batch and our senior batch were the same. 100% placements took place in our batch. The highest salary offered was 45K per month and the minimum package was 15K per month. The average salary which was offered was 25-30 K per month. The companies which visited the campus were Oberoi, ITC, Marriott, Taj, Dominos, KFC, Grand Hyatt, Thomas Cook, Jet Airways, Vsnl, Reliance Hospitality Services, Orchid Ecotels. 100% students from the college got an internship in various hotels with an average stipend of Rs. 1500.

Infrastructure: Being one of the best institutes in the country for hotel management, IAM IHM has best facilities. The Wi-Fi facility is available all around the campus as well as the hostel. The classrooms are good coloured, equipped with all the equipment's as well as comfortable furniture. Medical facilities are not available for the students, but for an emergency, all the medical kit are present in staff rooms with a knowledgeable teacher in that context. The college is little less in sports and games. Can say decent enough. The quality of labs and classrooms are tremendous. Awesome! They are available with all the necessary stuff to the students. The library is equipped with a variety of books across all international titles and a computerised system is present to locate any book in the library. Being a hotel management institute, the quality of food available in the canteen as well as hostel are clean and hygienic. The hostel rooms are available for boys as well as girls. Being in the boys' hostel, the boys' hostel was awesome with strict rules and all facilities, eg Wi-Fi. I didn't face any infrastructural issues in my tenure in the college.

Faculty: The experience with the faculty members was helpful and useful. The faculty here was highly qualified and knowledgeable and made a very positive and friendly environment for the students. Classroom discussions, presentations, group projects and lectures and practicals in kitchens, as well as hotels, are carried out as teaching methods in the college. We did not get any industry exposures in the face of hotel exposure and internships. The course curriculum was successful and useful.

Don't come to this college checkout other colleges.

Placements: Avarage placement percentage. O don't know the highest package but in hotel management college avarage is 15 to 20 k monthly. All hotel and few airlines are come to recruit. All students are getting internship in many hotels. It is also a below avarage college.

Infrastructure: There are no Wi-Fi facility for students only for faculty. Yes practical labs are there for practical classes. Library is also there for study. There are no canteen in our college. Also hostel is not there. I don't know why students are not complaining these things.

Faculty: Faculty is not very good. It is also avarage just like any other hotel management college. I don't think it is industry ready college. You can checkout other colleges. Semister exam is not as good for small things they are giving 0 I don't know why?

Other: I wanted a good college but now I am thinking why I am getting admitted in this college.

Best college to pursue Hotel Management.

Placements: It is one of the best Hotel Management college in Kolkata. I was the 8th highest ranker in Campus Interview,2018 and my college acquired a 100% placement record in that year. Presently I am working with JW Marriott, Pune, one of the largest and renowned properties in the State of Maharashtra. My other colleagues were also placed in various domestic and international brands.

Infrastructure: The college is equipped with world-class facilities. All the classrooms are very well maintained with the latest technologies and modern equipment. The entire college campus is fitted with centralized AC. Food in the student's cafeteria as well as in the hostel is really good. Our hostel is having everything like a gym, indoor games, etc. The Library has a huge collection of books.

Faculty: Faculty members at IAM are simply great. They give everything they know to their students. I was very lucky to have teachers like Anirban Sir, Biswajeet Sir, Debashree Maam, Puja Maam and others. Chef Charlie is simply awesome. I have learnt a lot from them specially from Chef.

Other: I was always keen to join this glamorous industry since my childhood and I decided and convinced my parents finally after 10th. They also supported me a lot for this decision. Moreover, this is such a course after which you have plenty of opportunities and this is always an eventful course.

The best faculty members used to teach us.

Placements: I joined this college in 2013 with lots of dreams and nervousness. But, gradually I came to know that I am in the right place and since then, I started gaining confidence in me. The best courses are offered with very nominal and reasonable fees. I was very excited about the day when I saw my seniors getting prepared for first campusing. It was ITC hotels and I started dreaming about the same in near future. Best companies are coming for campus interviews to date offering the best salary as per the industry standards.

Infrastructure: All the world-class facilities are provided. Very well-equipped classrooms with the latest technologies are used where a layman will understand everything whatever the skilled teachers are teaching. We used to have a common room with all indoor gaming equipment and a huge gym to keep us fit. I used to stay in a hostel which was like my home. The hostel is well maintained and there was a common canteen. The hostel warden was like my mother.

Faculty: The best faculty members used to teach us. They all are very experienced and skilled in all the subjects. The affection and care they have towards pupil was something which used to attract us to attend their classes. Everyday they used to come up with new ideas to take classes. It was altogether a different and wonderful classroom experience which made us ready for the industry.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to make a difference in life. This college gave me the opportunity to fulfill my dreams. I was very excited when I started seeing my dreams getting fulfilled one after the other.
