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%.

This course prepares students for jobs in the industry. If you are a little good in studies, then you will pass easily, but if you want good marks, then you need to study more.

Faculty: The faculty members at IHM Kolkata are real life heroes. The way they teach the students I s really great. The college has very highly knowledgeable faculty members. The faculty members not only teach the students for the exams, but they also prepare the students for the industry and help them with facing real life problems. If I talk about the semester exams, they are really tough, it's good for the students who prepare for the management training interviews or want to get into big brands.

The campus of this college is quite small, but no stone is left unturned in organizing college events. They make sure the students take part in the events which happen in the college along with other extra curricular activities.
