Our college is amazing at everything.
Placements: Maximum 65% is needed for getting admission in the institute. Currently it offers programme of international culinary arts, programme in hospitality management and leadership, and are coming up with design management as well.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure provided is the best with air-conditioned classrooms. Wi-Fi and smart classes are available. Library has the best books related to the courses. It has friction and literature books for the readers. Food provided in the cafeteria is healthy and tasty.
Faculty: Faculty is highly educated and owns industrial experience of many years. Module leaders make presentations for an explanation of the coursework. All the projects are made in soft copies. The thing to be taken place in all the projects is plagiarism.
Other: College gave me memories that I have built with my friends and seniors. Many programs and competitions are organised every month. Everything is available on the institute premises, the view of sunrise and sunset from the farm and the fishpond is breathtaking.

I'm satisfied with everything in our college.
Placements: The placements in our college are good. We get good placements in five-star hotels or international opportunities to place 99.9% of the time in good hotels. We also have international internships available in places like France, Mauritius, Maldives, Dubai etc. I am going to France for my internship in June. 
Infrastructure: We have many facilities available in our college, like a library, Wi-Fi, a park, sports, and fun activities. Every classroom in our college is well conditioned, including all the hostel facilities. We have indoor and outdoor games. There are large walk-in kitchens, refrigerators, and ovens like home food available. The quality of veggies and products is no 1 in our college.
Faculty: Semester exams are also given in each semester, and every practice is judged. There is continuous assessment marking, star chef, and all competitions are there a lot. We have a chef's cake dressing competition. They also make us first-year IGNOU assignments, which are also prepared by the college. Exams are well conducted.
Other: Our college has a good environment. We have a fresh farm, a big fish pond, live poultry, a farm, a cafeteria, and a restaurant. Our college has every facility available. We have our own Radisson Blu Plaza. Our college also conducts Fest, Chopal, and good connectivity, etc. The best thing about our college is that we get real-life work experience like you are in a hotel.

Review of Vedatya Institute.
Placements: I am still studying in this college and a lot of our seniors got placed in various 5-star properties like The Oberoi, JW Marriott, The Roseate, The Roseate House, and many more brands. Some of the seniors are also working out of India like Dubai, France, and Mauritius. Currently, I am doing my internship at The Roseate New Delhi and my batch mates got their internship at Roseate House, Andaz by Hyatt, and other well-renowned brands.
Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure is well maintained. We have 3 kitchens where we can work and learn. I am a day scholar and I am getting access to Wi-Fi and the lockers. The classroom is centrally air-conditioned which makes it easier to study. Every classroom has projectors that also help us to study through PPT and various online learning portals. There are organic farms where varieties of vegetables are grown, Poultry farms, and fish ponds from which we can use fresh ingredients according to the practicals we do.
Faculty: All the faculty members are very helpful and kind. They are always there to help you in the best way possible. Teaching quality is very good in every subject. It is very interesting and easy to learn. I am doing the PICA program in international culinary arts, and I think this course will make me ready for the industry. If we talk about the difficulty level of the exam that is moderate but simple. If you will study, nothing is hard in this course.
Other: The fees are a bit high for me but it's worth it. Vedatya organizes various events and competitions that help us to learn various things. The crowd of my batch is less because of the covid-19. I wish we can have 3 practical classes instead of 2 as it will increase our knowledge about the ingredients that are used in the industry.

The infrastructure of our college is very impressive.
Placements: The placement procedure of the institute is quite good. As it offers a variety of options to the students, we can choose among them. There are a lot of options available for domestic and international internships. Our seniors are well settled in some of the renowned companies.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is quite impressive. We really follow sustainable practices and even perform wall art activities in order to make things look more presentable. We do make things from waste products, and our cafeteria is a great example of the same. We have beautiful hangings made from the bottles and paintings on the wall, entirely done with the help of teachers and students as well.
Faculty: Teaching is the greatest act of optimism, and faculty members at Vedatya plant the seeds of knowledge with patience, care, and concern, which nurtures our growth so that we can fulfill our future dreams. Language is not just words but an emotion through which one can understand each other, and the teachers at Vedatya go out of their way so that we can experience a new way of learning and understanding things better. They are highly qualified industry professionals with a lot of personal experience, which helps us open our minds and make us ready for the upcoming opportunities. Vedatya is a small family in itself and is a home away from home because we students are blessed with great mentors every semester. We build the power of connection, which helps us to become the best. Teachers at Vedatya awaken the spirits within us with their words of wisdom and lead us down the roads of life. They gave us lifetime knowledge and blessings that will help us succeed in life.
