The college is excellent in terms of infrastructure.

Placements: There's a guarantee for 100% placement for every student. No student, after their completion of IET are idle without confirmation of placement in a reputed hotel. As far as I've heard from my seniors, nobody has been turned down without placement. There are recruiters who come from various hotels inside India who conduct interviews inside the college. The top roles offered for my course at the start of the career are Front Office Assistant, Bartender, Commis Chef, etc.

Infrastructure: Chennai Amirta is physically equipped with appropriate labs for each section of every department of a hotel and manually equipped with experienced staff for practical learning as well as execution. There are hostels inside and outside the campus for boys and girls, ensuring safety and privacy, providing balanced food for 4 meals a day.

Faculty: The staff recruited in Chennai Amirta are experienced in their concerned department. They help to provide students with real-life scenarios that happen around the hotel, which would prepare them for his/her career while dealing with guests or discrepancies. It aids one in not feeling foreign on their first day at work. The curriculum makes sure that enough information about relevant activities is conveyed.

Other: I've chosen this course to pursue my dream of becoming an executive chef in a prestigious, reputable hotel. The best thing about my course is that it provides enough practical knowledge in every aspect. Chennai Amirta conducts events frequently for special days- Onam, Pongal, Holi, etc., that connect students together for a lively time.

Chennai's Amirta excellence.

Placements: The college overall is very good, the placements are very good, as we are promised to get 100% placement in this. The colleges we are placed in are also five-star properties, so there is no doubt. Focuses a lot on culinary arts, front office, housekeeping, and F&B service practical. Labs and training kitchens are designed like a hotel environment. The institute claims 100% placement assistance and has placed thousands of students in hotels and hospitality companies. CAIIHM students often get internships in 4-star and 5-star hotels during the course.

Infrastructure: Mainly, the infrastructure of this college is top-notch. Here, the ambience provides a professional experience that will be essential for the hotel industry.

Faculty: Faculty members are very professional, very good in academics, and experienced in this field. The values they are teaching and implementing with us are very good. The way they are teaching gives us the exposure for our future purpose in life. Top hotel management colleges in Chennai (comparison), whether Chennai Amirta or IHM Chennai is better. Experienced faculty. Many teachers have hotel industry experience, which helps with practical knowledge.

Other: I chose this course as I was very interested in communicating with people better, and I was very interested in arts and science. It is very nice as I came here because of the knowledge I am getting from here, very good for my future. Good for students who want a practical hotel management course and internships in hotels. Average for salary packages and campus life compared to top government IHMs. Overall, a decent private hotel management college in Chennai, but not among the top institutes in India.
