Absolutely satisfied with college and faculty members. We made new friends and created a family.
Placements: 75% of them were placed. It was a good package we got from college. Top recruited companies were Bestsellers and many more. Everyone got internships. Top roles offered were chefs, housekeeping, and front office in different departments.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure was really good. Hostel was also inside the college. There was everything that a student needed. All the help was there. Canteen facility was also there inside the college, and we could play other games as well. We did have really good warden as well.
Faculty: Teachers were always on the top in terms of helping us. Every department had their own special teacher, we could learn good amount of knowledge from them. Semester exams were quite easy as our teachers helped us to complete them. They taught us very good.
Other: This course gives us the opportunity to learn and interact with new people in life and helps us to gel with others quite easily. Everything was really good but what we could improve was that we could give access to the internet to students as well over there. Fests and events were quite less as compared to other universities but its a professional course you had adjust as well.

Very good experience and a good amount of placement provided by the campus.
Placements: 100% of students got placed last year. The highest package was 11.22 LPA and the average package was 3.22 LPA. Reliance, Leela Ambience, Radisson Groups, and many more. 100% of students got internships in various properties around the world, such as Executive, Assistant Manager, and Supervisors.
Infrastructure: They provide labs for every subject, for example, housekeeping lab, kitchen lab, library, and computer lab. The hostel provides good quality food, and they provide a centralized theater for students, separate beds for students, tables, chairs for students, and many more.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and supportive towards students. Yes, this course is very beneficial for students because it provides 100% placements to students. Exams are quite hard to test the students' ability, but it's good for the students to prepare for manager-level learning.
Other: I really wanted to experience the luxurious life, and the best thing about this course is placements at a good level. Money should be lesser because not everyone can afford this amount of money. Events are really cool, and they also invest a good amount of money in fests.

This is a center college that has much more facilities than other institutes.
Placements: In terms of placements, this college is the best; it provides almost 95-100% placements. A lot of companies from outside India also come for placements. The minimum package from this college is about 3-4 lakhs per annum, which is good for a fresher. Many of our seniors appreciate the kind of work the college does for placements.
Infrastructure: The hostels are near and clean, and the food is also good. Being in a hilly area, the weather here is always pleasant. The Wi-Fi works a little slowly. Also, the market is a bit far away, which is not very helpful for students; they have to travel at least 8-10 km for facilities like major medical issues and for eating, etc.
Faculty: Faculty and curriculum activities are just the best! The teachers are well-educated and very helpful. They assist you nicely with any of your work and explain everything calmly while helping with any problems you may have. Many cultural functions are held here, which are really appreciated by students!
Other: I was really interested in this field because you can travel across the world in this profession as well.
