Remarks

College has been great for me. Learnt a lot in college. Helped me to realise who I am as a person. Got to learn about management, improved my culinary skills, improved on my social skills. However college passed by very fast and would like it to be a 4 ye

Entrance Preview

I took the entrance test for international institute of hotel management after which I faced a group discussion and personal interview round. I cleared all the rounds after which I received an approval letter one week later. This was the only college I applied to as I had heard very good reviews about the college. Also it was a private institute which makes it a notch above the government institute institute of hotel management (ihm).Besides this iihm also Gives us option of going abroad for international training, which is better exposure.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is very good as we have practical classes and real time learning experience of each subject of the hotel line such as, front office management,food and beverage service ( includes food and beverage service, banquet service, restaurant operations, bartending etc) house keeping (includes botany, room cleaning, bed making etc.) And culinary where we have hands on experience in food preparation in the kitchen.We also have a 6 months internship programme in year 2 where we work in a hotel of our choice (abroad /India).

Internships Opportunities

Yes our college provides 6 month internship abroad as well as india. The stipend depends upon the hotel. Working abroad gets us a pay of 8$ to 9$ per hour. We get to work in all 4 departments of the hotel depending upon the need of the hotel.

Placement Experience

4.5

We have 100% placement opportunities provided by our college. At the end of our course we have campus placements where there are various properties from across the globe coming to hire us. Eg. Hyatt. Jw Marriott. Ritz carkton. (Packages depend upon the position we secure) In India salaries start with 14000 and can go upto 20000 at entry level. Abroad ure paid per hour.

College Events

Republic day, Gandhi jayanti, rabindra jayanti, Bengali new year, holi diwali and many more holidays are celebrated. They are celebrated in agrand way with all students and faculty invited and taking part in various activities. College also has its own fest spring food festival, rigolo, and December food festival.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Our fees is expensive 1.6 lacks per year and hostel fees are 4000 Rs per month. The fees can be considered expensive as it is a huge sum however we have scholarships that can be availed. Hostel fees are very nominal as they are providing fooding and lodging not very far from our college.

Fees and Financial Aid

Scholarship are available from year 1 depending on marks u secure in school.Year 2 and year 3 depend upon ur marks obtained in college semester and attendance percentage. 85% attendance and 70%marks scholarship % depend upon discretion of dean.

Campus Life

We have various functions taking place at the campus and off campus throughout the year. Sports competition takes place at SAI complex in salt lake once a year during month of august. College also takes part in other college fests, business fests, cooking competition etc the college is very happening ratio of girls to boys is low 3:10 however it's one big happy family. Everyone is treated equally and everyone knows about everyone.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel is decent. Not very far from college. Food is also very homely. I wouldn't consider it expensive as they provide us fooding and lodging at a very nominal rate. Hostel rooms are shared at 4 ppl per room with bunk beds. Fan lights water and washroom

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni is well connected and helpful. Our teachers help us get placements through them a lot of times. We also have seminars where alumni come and share their college experience and their current life in the industry.We can get in touch with them any time through our teachers and theyre more than happy to help us.

Exam Structure

We have 6 semesters. Two main exams per semester divided into 50 marks per subject. Exams are hectic as we have submissions on various subjects. Besides submissions we also have group projects on power point presentations where we have to demonstrate mana

Faculty

Faculty of the college are very experienced and have worked in hotel line for many years, theyre experienced in teaching. Our culinary faculty are the best as they have worked in some of the best hotels across the globe. They are up to date with the lates

Likes

Fixed timetable Classes, regular assessment and class test
The professors are very qualified and their teaching style is excellent.
A lot of books are available in the main library as well as in the department library

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus and curriculum of Calcutta University is aligned with other entrance examination (eg.IIT JAM, JEST, TIFR, GATE etc.) Specially for the Physics BSc course. And the syllabus is updated Artificial intelligence bacis, Python Advance level is in syllabus, it's completed in college. Point to be Noted - The time given to prepare for the exam is sometimes ample but sometimes it is very less. So we have to prepare syllabus in time which is little bit frustrating.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Likes

Campus is nice. There's greenery and all
SOME of the faculties are really good and those said teachers will actually look out for you and care
Mentors are appointed for each students who are responsible for their final year project, publications and LORs. If you are lucky, you'll get a good mentor.

Dislikes

Classrooms are less compared to the number of students. Students have to wander around the building after each classes to find seats. Classrooms are very dirty
There's literally NOTHING in the labs. Experiments take way long to prepare and perform because reagents and equipments are never available.
Hardly a 2 week summer break (because of MAKAUT). Students cannot even apply to good internships because no lab would take in external students in july or august.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Good enough

Likes

The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. Most teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable after class for doubts and guidance, which helps a lot during exams.
The college has a disciplined academic environment with regular classes and practical sessions. Laboratories are functional and help students understand concepts through hands-on learning.
The campus environment is calm and student-friendly. Various seminars, cultural programs, and academic activities help in overall personality development.

Dislikes

Industry exposure and internship guidance are minimal, which could be improved to make students more job-ready after graduation.
Infrastructure can be improved, especially classrooms and laboratory equipment. Some facilities feel outdated and require modernization.
Placement opportunities for BSc students are limited. The college focuses more on academics, so students need to prepare for higher studies or competitive exams on their own.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

I like the campus , it is quite huge and green , the canteen has both cooked and packed food available, a seperate common room for students and many sports equipment available. Several functions are arranged along with international conferences held
All the faculty members are soft spoken , knowledgeable and friendly, it is easy to find help regarding anything.
Professors are strict about their syllabus and subjects , paying proper attention to the students. Practicals classes are conducted without fail.

Dislikes

There is nothing as such that I disliked because I am a first year student so I haven't been so much involved yet , I think that the washrooms should be cleaned properly to maintain the hygiene apart from thjs everything is fine.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Subjects offered in the college as well as the minor and idc subjects are well adhered to the curriculum and future aspects. The subject combinations are apt and futuristic. It moderately prepares one for real world situations.

Reasons to not apply for NSHM Knowledge Campus

Likes

The admission process was very smooth, the administration board is very helpful.
The library is huge and the content of books is very good
College life and fests are good but not great

Dislikes

Placements are absolutely bogus. There were almost no good placements when i passed out part of it can be blamed on covid but mostly the college was largely at fault
Faculty was not upto the mark in regards to the hefty college fees we were charged
Even during covid online classes we were charged full fee which is again absolutely horrendous

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was well thought out as per me but there were subjects that i found absolutely unnecessary. Subjects like history evs and clc were in no way related to my course. Coming to the main subjects Design, Printing, Photography and film and Media Training were absolutely necessary for my course and whilst the faculty for some of these subjects were really bad, some were good. It is also important to mention none of these subjects actually helped us prepare for the real world. Instead internships and freelance helped us more than these subjects could ever do. Exams were held bi monthly to keep track of what we learnt and every 6 months we had our semester exams. Overall if you want to be a media professional INTERNSHIPS AND JOBS WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN A COLLEGE WILL. I am biased on this opinion as my college didnt provide me with the correct guidance and support i needed to make it in the real world.

Amateur turns Hospitality Professional

Along with the entrance exam of IIHM, I had also applied to colleges like Symbiosis and NMIMS, Mumbai but since I always had this passion about food and Beverages I was certain that I'm going to join IIHM and pursue my career as a hospitality professional. In terms of rejection, I was not rejected from any of the colleges I appeared the exams of, Now, after I appeared for the entrance, I was called for a group discussion and after qualifying came the personal interview round, since I had no idea what to expect and what not to expect for my first personal interview in my life and again. My interviewer asked me about Soft drinks and asked me to speak about Coco-cola for a full 1 minute, I guess, that was one of the longest 1 minute in my life. Hahahhaha But again, once everything was done, I was waiting for my results very anxiously and when the result came out, to my surprise I was very happy to know that I was the only one in the group to get selected because of my communication skills and leadership skills. And then began the journey of my Hospitality Management...Read More
