Kushagra Verma's Review On Institute Of Hotel Management Catering Technology And Applied Nutrition - [IHM], Mumbai

I appeared for NCHMCT JEE and managed to clear it by scoring 1648 rank and was lucky enough to get Ihm mumbai (best college for hotel management in india).

The college takes care of all the basic skills that you need for the industry and trains you very well with all the practical and theory classes .the teachers are very well experience done in their particular fields and know their subjects very well.

Yes, in second year all the students have to do industrial training all the 5 star properties like taj, oberoi, ITC, hyatt all come to select the students and students never fail to impress them as the main purpose of industrial training is to get an idea of real life situations of a hotel the stipend being not too much starts from 2000 and may go to 8000 a month in india and 15000-30000 in dubai.

The placements that Ihm mumbai can get you is actually amazing if you are good at what you do companies like taj, ginger, ITC, OBEROI, hyatt, radisson blu and many more five star hotel properties. Companies actually prefer students of Ihm mumbai due to its high ranking and also for the reason being we have a very good alumini.

We at IHM MUMBAI do everything large we celebrate almost all the festivals and we being a catering college the food is luxurious during these days apart from it we have expect our intra college fest, but we participate in other college fests too.

The college ask for the minimum fees they could ask for including all the uniforms and lunch this is very affordable and apart from it that you can also get concessions. Approximately it comes out to be 35 000 per semester but the living expenses in dadar are on the higher scale and yes the books and all you need to buy on your own accordingly and if you go for the hostel then yes the cost will be more.

Not so much of scholarships but if you a hostile or a pgite you can get travelling concessions and all.

The gender ratio is more easy inclined towards the males, but there are a lot of girls pursuing for the course. Here you get people more from Mumbai, Delhi, kerela and bengal this college don't supports extracurricular much but when it comes to the course the college organised many workshops and a bit of educational tours also lies wine tasting and all.this is an anti ragging college and one thing that's best here is the understanding between the juniors and the seniors.

The college don't provide hostels to the first years the boys hostel is not so good but yes it's pretty cheap when you get chicken every day for lunch and dinner the washrooms are clean the PG's that you can get in dadar are pretty good but a bit expensive say the pg I'm living in is 6 min walking distance from my college, it has got refrigerator, TV, washing machine, a small kitchenette and it's large and spacious will a very huge balcony and a terrace for the pg students you get everything nearby you, fromy medical stores, booze, affordable restaurants like you name it and you get it.

We have a very good alumni from actors like karan Singh grover to the best and leading chefs in india like chef manish mehrotra although I've not been on contact with any of the alumni.

We have seven internal practicals out t of which marks of best five are counted and for theory we have 3 internals out of which marks of best 2 will be counted then we have our finals in which both practicals and theory is there the exams are pretty chilled out and you'll easily manage to clear it if you ever paid attention during lectures.

First we have to fill an online forms for the JEE exam that makes you eligible to sit in the exam .after giving the exam one will have to wait for a month or so for the results .you get the results online in which they tell you your AIR and whether you have cleared the exam or not.after a few days is your online counselling in which you fill your Ihm choices priority wise and then you get a seat in the college according to your rank according to your priority list. Then after counselling you need to report in the nearby NCHMCT office in your state and fix your seat .then on the fixed dates you go to your college (like Ihm mumbai for me) for physical reporting and fill the admission form and pay the first semester fees and you are ready to go.

The teachers are very well experienced in their particular fields and know their subjects very well say for example chef iyer (food production faculty) is there with the college for past 30 years and has worked with hotels all over the world like taj and other reputed brands he is currently also a member of world chef association .so from teachers like these you learn a lot and they never fail to brush up your skills and Polish them very well.
