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%.

However, based on the placement reports of previous years and student reviews, the median package offered to BSc students during Institute of Hotel Management Kolkata placements 2023 is expected to be between INR 4 LPA and INR 5 LPA.

Q:   Which are the top recruiters for IHM Kolkata?
A: 

The placement department of IHM kolkata is very active so first of all I would like to tell you all that you don't need to wory about the placement there you just need to be keeping your academic records good with a good communication skill. And you will be placed in different companies in IHM kolkata placement drive.

Anyway, as per my knowledge previously, Companies like Wipro, Hilton, Taj chennai, myntra, taco and other recruited in a large number in the batch of 2-23 placements.

But besides this, many more other companies also visited the campus but the mass recruiters were the above companies only.

Q:   What was the lowest package offered at IHM Kolkata?
A: 

The lowest package offered to a individual during last three year is around 2.5 Lacs per annum. But keeping these things side around IHM kolkata is a reputed instituition so there is a very low chance there that someone is going to get lower packages in the placement drive offered by company. The average salary offred for an individual passing out from IHM Kolkata is around 5 Lacs and the highest salary there was 23 Lacs per annum.

So, with all the statistics, we can conclude that IHM Kolkata is very good institution and it is worth doing any course at IHM Kolkata.

On Infrastructure
Q:   What is the mode of NCHMCT JEE?
A: 

NCHMCT JEE is conducted online in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode. A Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode is a method of conducting examinations where candidates take the test on a computer, typically at a designated test center or in some cases, remotely from their own devices with remote proctoring.

1. Online Testing: In a CBT mode, the test questions are presented on a computer screen, and candidates select their answers by clicking with a mouse or using a keyboard.

2. Navigation: Candidates can navigate between questions, review and change their answers, and mark questions for review later during the examination.

3. Immediate Scoring: In many cases, CBTs provide immediate scoring, and candidates receive their preliminary scores as soon as they complete the exam.

4. Adaptive Testing: Some CBTs use adaptive testing algorithms, where the difficulty of questions can adjust based on the candidate's performance. If a candidate answers questions correctly, the test may present more challenging questions.

5. Security: CBTs often employ security measures to prevent cheating or unauthorized access to test content. This can include secure login procedures and proctoring, both in-person and remote.

6. Convenience: CBTs offer flexibility in terms of test scheduling and locations. Candidates can choose from available test dates and centers, making it convenient for many test-takers.

7. Practice Tests: Many organisations provide practice tests in CBT format to help candidates become familiar with the online testing environment.
