It is one of the best colleges for hotel management course placements.

Placements: Hotels like Oberoi, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Andaz, The Grand, ITC Mughal, ITC Rajputana, and many retail companies like McDonald's, Domino's, Faasos, etc., visit the campus for placements. If we are hardworking and willing to work, this college makes sure that we get a job before the completion of our course.

Infrastructure: There is a good library, a three-floor double building with a faculty member's home, staff rooms, boys' and girls' hostels, and a principal house on the campus. It has good classrooms, a restaurant, labs, a kitchen, a cafeteria, and many other basic facilities.

Faculty: Faculty members are the best, very kind and helpful. It probably has the best faculty members. They have great knowledge of the industry and are experts. The course curriculum is up to the mark, and it helped us to know the industry work procedure. It is easy to pass the exams, just by studying the previous years' papers.

Other: I chose this course because I love cooking, and I aspire to be an executive chef one day soon.

The reality of hospitality course.

Placements: About 30% of students got placed in the course. The highest salary package offered in the course is 6 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies like HCL, Oberoi, ITC, Hyatt, Aditya Birla, etc., visit the college for placements. All students from our course got internships in popular companies like Taj, Oberoi, Hyatt, Leela, Accor, etc. The top roles offered in my course include assistant manager in any department or sous chef.

Infrastructure: The college is divided into two parts, the old building and the new building. Facilities and the infrastructure in the old building are very run down, and nothing is renovated in the old building. The new building is meant for the starting semesters. Wi-Fi is not available for students. Labs are not fully equipped, and the library has limited books. Facilities in the hostel are average. The quality of food in the mess is not good. Medical facilities are only there for emergencies.

Faculty: Not all the teachers are knowledgeable. The teaching quality is only good with a few. The course curriculum does need some amendments in order to make students industry-ready. Semester exams in this college are very easy and the pass percentage is above 40%.

Other: I chose this course because I want to explore the culinary department and want to learn new skills. The best thing about this course is that they offer industrial training for 4 months. A big change in the facilities is required and new equipment can make the course better. Everything happens in this college except studies. For every one or two days an event is scheduled. The crowd is filled with vulgar people.

Life of a hotel management student at IHM Lucknow.

Placements: So, I am a student of the batch 2022-2025, with a total strength of 300 students. The highest package offered is around 9 Lacs rupees CTC yearly by the retail brands and around 5 Lacs rupees CTC yearly by the hotel brands. Since our college comes under the top 5 colleges according to the placements, we have major brands in hospitality as well as retail across India, including the Taj, The Oberoi, ITC, The Leela, and all the known brands of hospitality across India. Internship is compulsory for the students of B.Sc. as well as Diploma to complete their course, and you have opportunities to work all over India in any brand you want, depending on your capability. The stipend for internships varies from company to company. Currently, many companies pay around 5000 per month as stipend. The top roles offered in the course include the OCLD programme, which is the management training programme by the Oberoi group that gives you the role of Assistant Manager after one and a half years.

Infrastructure: Our infrastructure is significantly very good. We have practical labs, well-equipped with the necessary equipment. We also have theory labs, separate for 1st year, 2nd year, and 3rd year. The labs are divided accordingly, and they are well connected with both the old and new buildings. Additionally, we have brainwata hunting systems, solar panels, our own table, as well as a water tanker. We also have generators all over the campus for a smooth flow of electricity 24/7.

Faculty: Since the last 2 years, the curriculum has changed a lot, and currently, it is according to the current needs of the hospitality industry and the last part of IGNOU. My curriculum is a little bit laid back, but the curriculum introduced by Jawaharlal Nehru University is quite well, and it matches the current scenarios of the hospitality industry. Our curriculum is balanced in both practical and theoretical aspects, which is the best part of our course and makes it different from other courses.

Other: I want to say that if you are passionate about the hospitality industry and want to pursue a career in this industry, I definitely recommend you join IHM Lucknow, which is one of the best colleges for hotel management across India. It provides you with the best opportunities, and you learn under the best professionals and teachers across India, which helps you develop more professionally compared to other institutes of hotel management or private institutes. The fees are quite high, but it is worth it according to the course.
