Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff and they teach us a lot. The college prepares us well for life after graduation. I find everything we learn to be super useful. They always have answers to our questions. The practicals we do are so cool and fun.
Placement: Lots of us landed jobs in top hotels like Marriott, Taj, ITC, and popular places like Starbucks and Domino's. Over 95% of us ended up with jobs, which was awesome. Companies from different departments of the hotel came to our college for placements.
Campus: The college has awesome labs, nice classrooms, a huge library, and cool air-conditioned rooms. The hostel is pretty good too. They've got gaming, sports, medical help, a mess, library, and a gym. The rooms in the hostel are nice, and we share with two other students.

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful and know a lot about what they're teaching. A lot of them actually went to this college, so they really get how things work around here. The exams each semester aren't too hard if you pay attention in class, you'll do just fine.
Placement: Most students in our college find jobs in top hotels in India every year. The salary you get depends on where you work and the year. Companies like Oberoi, Taj, ITC, Mariott, Pullman, and Starbucks hire a lot of students. We all get internships from college in big companies for training. They offer roles like management trainee and operational trainee. It's a great place to start your career!
Campus: The college has cool projectors, AC classrooms, a library, top-notch kitchen gear, a full-on training restaurant, and fancy housekeeping stuff. Food in the mess is usually pretty good, with lots of veggies and desserts to choose from.

Admission: The college picks the subjects for us, not too exciting. We have nine subjects every semester. They make us do journals and give weird assignments. Feels like school again. Teachers are super strict and not too friendly. They don't act professionally and aren't serious about teaching.
Placement: The salary package they offer is really low for the fee they charge. Plus, they keep increasing the fees too much.
Campus: The facilities at our college are just okay, especially considering the fees we pay. We don't have any sports facilities, and the campus isn't that big either. The rules here are pretty strict, like they're from a school, focusing a lot on grooming and discipline.

Admission: The teachers at our college are awesome! They really know their stuff and are always there to help. We've got 3 department heads who keep things running smoothly. The courses we take are spot-on and get us ready for the real world. Doing training in hotels gives us a taste of what it's like for real. The exams each semester can be a bit challenging, but it's doable to pass.
Placement: Most students in our college land jobs after graduation, which is awesome. The top-paying companies are in retail, like Arvind Lifestyle and Aditya Birla Group. Some others are Oberoi, Taj, Marriotts, Roseate, Hyatt, Accord, Lemon Tree, and IHG. On average, the salary is around 2 to 2.2 lakhs per year.
Campus: The college has labs for all subjects like housekeeping. The classrooms have ACs and projectors in 3rd-year classes. You get a library card to borrow books and study materials. It's pretty cool.

Admission: The teachers at college are pretty good at teaching and have lots of experience. But some teachers aren't as great they don't treat all students the same. The semester exams are fair, though. If you pay attention in class, you won't have to study too hard in your room.
Placement: The college has great placement opportunities with hotels, QSR, and retail companies coming for placements. It's up to the students to be ready for it. Companies usually offer around 3 to 4 lakhs per annum to start.
Campus: The college has good infrastructure and the labs are top-notch. But there's no Wi-Fi for students, and 1st and 2nd-year students don't have AC. Plus, no one can use the elevator. The hostel is alright, but it only has fans no coolers, which is tough in the summer.

Admission: The teachers at AIHM Chandigarh are super experienced and really into making sure we learn everything we need. They've all worked in top hotels and hospitality places, so they know their stuff. The best part is they're easy to talk to and always ready to help with anything we need, whether it's theory or practice. They make classes interesting by using real examples and case studies. During internships and job placements, they give us personal support to improve both our technical skills and people skills. You can tell they really care about us doing well in college.
Placement: I'm studying Hotel Management at AIHM Chandigarh. The college offers great placement chances. They have connections with top hotels, giving us awesome job options.
Campus: AIHM Chandigarh has awesome facilities that make learning super cool. The campus has fast Wi-Fi and a big library with lots of books. In the kitchen labs, we use top-notch gear like ovens and sous-vide machines to learn hands-on. The F&B service labs have fake restaurants, cash registers, and bars for us to practice real stuff. AIHM sets us up well for the fast-paced hospitality world.

Admission: The teachers are super helpful and know their stuff. They teach most of the classes each day. But I feel like our curriculum could use some updating. It gives us knowledge, but it doesn't really help with communication and confidence, which are key in our field. I'm not sure if we'll be ready for the industry. The semester exams are okay, not too hard. You need at least 40% to pass, not counting assignments.
Placement: I'm happy to share that around 60-63% of students got placed through campus placements. The highest salary package was around 4,30,000 and the lowest was 1,00,000. Companies like Accor, Starbucks, Marriott, and Oberoi were the top recruiters. The most common roles offered were Management Trainee (MT), managerial positions at Quick Service Restaurants (QSR), and supervisory roles in hotels.
Campus: The college has okay facilities and infrastructure. The library is good, but there's no Wi-Fi. The labs and classes are fine. The hostel looks nice, but the food isn't great. The canteen has limited options and doesn't taste good. Unfortunately, there aren't many sports or games at the college. We only have one sports event each year.

Admission: The exams are super strict, no way to cheat. The faculty are really helpful during internships and placements. They also teach us how to do well in interviews and have extra classes for research projects.
Placement: Lots of famous companies visit our college for placements, so it's easy to get a job that matches your skills. Not just hotels like Taj or Oberoi, but also retail brands like Puma, Reliance, and Mac D hire a bunch of students for sales and management roles.
Campus: The teaching and learning facilities at the college are great. They have things like AC in classrooms, lifts, good food, and all the equipment you need to learn. However, there's not much for sports. We don't have our own grounds for football or cricket. We only get to play these once a year on sports day, which is held outside the college at a nearby stadium.

Admission: The teachers are really great because they have worked in the industry. They know a lot and are always there to help us. The course content hasn't changed in a while, but it covers everything we need to know for the industry. They're bringing in a new course in 2024. The exams aren't too hard, so if you go to class, you can get good grades.
Placement: Most students got placed except for those who didn't want placements. Big companies like Hyatt Hotels, Taj Hotels, Oberoi Hotels, McDonald's, and more came for hiring. They offer roles like Management Trainee and Operations Trainee. The highest salary is around 4 LPA with an average of 2.8 LPA.
Campus: The college has cool stuff like Smart classes, AC rooms, Library, and labs for practicals. They also have nice Kitchens and Restaurants. The food is good. But the hostel is old and doesn't have AC or coolers. You gotta bring your own mattress too.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff. They teach so well that I never feel lost or confused. The course prepares us for the real world, both in theory and practice. But the real deal is when we do our industrial training. It's eye-opening to see how things work outside the classroom.
Placement: I'm almost done with college, and the job placements are starting soon. In the first and second years, I noticed that all my classmates landed jobs at top companies. The salaries ranged from 8,000 to 25,000 per month, which was pretty cool. Companies like ITC, Oberoi, Taj Hotels, Starbucks, CCD, Holiday Inn, Radisson, Crown Plaza, Roseate, Trident, and more came to hire students. Almost everyone got internships too, which was great.
Campus: The college has great infrastructure with 2 buildings one for first-years and another for second and third years. The practical classes are awesome with modern equipment. Unfortunately, there is no Wi-Fi on campus. But hey, there's a mess in both the college and hostel for food.
