Discipline and placements go hand-in-hand here.
Placements: There are more than 350 students in my batch. The average package offered here is 6 LPA, and the highest is probably 10 LPA (I am not very sure as I am a first-year student as of 2024). About 50 companies come here to recruit people every year, including Taj, Oberoi, ITC, Park hotels, etc.
Infrastructure: The college has a well-equipped kitchen where students learn to make new dishes every class. Also, there are computer labs. There are two buildings in total, and there are separate hostels for male and female. The hostelites are provided with breakfast, lunch, evening snacks, and dinner every day. The non-hostelers are provided with only lunch every working day.
Faculty: Faculty is well enough. Most of the teachers were themselves students of the college years ago. So their love and affection towards the college and the students is very evident. The course provides IT (industrial training) for an entire semester of the second year (either 3rd or 4th), where students work in hotels and also have the opportunity to earn a small amount of money simultaneously while learning.
Other: The most famous event is gourmet night, which is celebrated in the month of January every year. One thing to keep in mind is their attendance percentage, which is 75%. Students are not allowed to sit for the exams, even if it is 74.9%.
