It is a good college. It is enjoyable for all of them.

Placements: Management training programs are offered in every department, with various courses available for different job roles in the hospitality sector. Students have the option to choose the course or hotel where they would like to pursue their careers, including like Taj, ITC, JW Marriott, The Park, Radisson, and others.

Infrastructure: The hostel is very nice and easy to survive. All the facilities provided are good and the food is good. The security and safety are followed completely with proper rules and regulations. Everything is well-maintained. The food is properly served with hygiene.

Faculty: It is very easy to pass the semester exams, as 40 marks are allocated for the percentage. There are also practical exams that are a bit more challenging, with a passing mark of 50. During the practical exam, we must demonstrate what we have studied. The theory exams are easy to pass.

Other: All events and festivals are conducted in our college. The area is good where the college is located.

The college is best for Hotel Management course in Bangalore and ranks 1st for placements.

Placements: Almost every student is placed in a 5-star property. The highest, the lowest, and the average package are confidential. The top recruiting companies are Taj, ITC, Hyatt, JW Marriott, Oberoi, etc. The top roles offered are posts like under manager. Some of the information is confidential.

Infrastructure: The facilities are up to date. The infrastructure is average as the area is small, but every equipment required for hotel management courses is provided. The quality of the facilities in the hostel is good, and the quality of food is like ghar ka khana.

Faculty: The teachers are well-educated and experienced. They cooperate a lot with the students in studies as well as in events and ODCs. I can't state the difficulty level of the examination as I will be appearing for it in December. Overall, it's best to learn new skills for hotel management.

Other: I chose it to get exposure to the hotel industry. The best thing about the course is that we try and learn and experience new things each and every day. The college organizes events on every occasion and festival.

Institute of Hotel Management, Bangalore is just fabulous with the best placement records.

Placements: To be honest, I can't provide these information as the data is confidential for the college purpose. The only thing that I can provide is top recruiting companies: Taj, Oberoi, Hyatt, ITC, etc. You can check the official website of the Institute of Hotel Management, Bangalore.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good but in less space. The college has the latest advanced kitchen, theory lecture hall, dining hall, practical halls, computer lab, yoga room, EDC and special lecture hall. The hostel is great for 1st year students only.

Faculty: The faculties are well educated and supportable in each and every core and elective department. The curriculum is from NCHMCT JEE under the affiliation of JNU for the year 2023. Exams are also conducted, like mid-semester and end-sem, with assessments and practicals.

One of the top colleges for hotel management.

Placements: IHM Bangalore is a central government. Affiliated college that provides B.Sc. and H.HA. in hotel management courses for 4 years. The placements at the college are above 100%. All the students get more than 1 company placement through the college placement cell. All the top brands in the hospitality industry, like Taj, Oberoi, J.W. Marriott, Raddison, ITC, Starbucks, Subways, McDonald's, etc., come to the college to hire the students. Also, most students get management training programmes in all those companies.

Infrastructure: The college is situated at the heart of the city, near Vidhana Soudha and all other government offices. So it is easily accessible to anyone. The college building is located on the campus of SJP College on Sheshadripuram Road. The hostel is available only for first-year students and it is located in Attiguppe, which is 9 kilometers away from the college. There is metro connectivity from the hostel to the college so students can easily travel. Hostel premises, rooms and food are very nice and I suggest staying in a hostel for the first year.

Faculty: All the faculty members of the college are brilliant, knowledgeable people. Everyone can learn all the things from all the faculty members and they will also teach and guide you for a bright future. The practicals and theory covered in this course will absolutely help the student gain industry exposure. And the best thing about the course is industrial training in the second year. It will help a lot for the future of the student.

IHM Bangalore, honest review.

Placements: As the last time, the result was very nice, but this year the placement cell is ***, and approximately 20% of students have been placed. The students who have been placed once are getting placed again and again because they are in the placement cell. The good thing is, if you find out that you're not interested in a hotel, there will be other options available for you, as retail and consulting companies also come for recruitment.

Infrastructure: The hostel is very nice, but there are two demerits. Firstly, there are no washing machines for students, and the hostel is for 1st years only. Secondly, there's no Wi-Fi facility. However, the hostel food menu is very nice for both veg and non-vegetarian people, and it's also a perfectly balanced meal.

Faculty: More than half of the faculty are nice, but some are literally very bad. The teaching quality is fine; I would say it's not very excellent. Somehow, they make students industry-ready. Semester exams are easy; it's not that tough, and 40% is the passing percentage.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in cooking, but if you are only interested in cooking, then you can also go for culinary or bakery schools. There's a lot of scope for improvement; in the last semester, they can let students choose their area of interest. Events and all are very nice. I personally don't like the college crowd because most of them do drugs and all.

Hotel management is great but overhyped.

Placements: 90 percent of the students get placed in good companies with good packages. I think this college sets a great placement record every year for the other IHM branches. The highest package offered is 7 LPA this year and the average package is around 4 to 4.5 lacs.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are not well-equipped with modern teaching methods and are old. Wi-Fi is not available, and the library is not so big but it is big enough to accommodate 150 students. The infrastructure is not good, and the college has no campus life, which is why you have no campus life to explore .

Faculty: The faculty is very good, helpful and friendly. Some of the teachers and professors are not worth the mark, but rest assured, everybody is nice and genuine. This study makes the students ready but they get more ready after the industrial training. The reality check comes there .
