IHM Mumbai Reviews & Ratings 2026 – Authentic Student Feedback

Admission: The admission process at IHM was surprisingly efficient. From NCHMCT JEE results to the final counselling rounds, everything felt organised. Document verification and fee submission went smoothly, and the admin staff were very cooperative during registration. A clear onboarding journey.

Academic: The course here is totally up to industry standards, which means it gets us ready for jobs outside. Our teachers are also very nice and helpful, always friendly with students. Coming to exams, the semester ones are not super hard, but you definitely need to study properly, or else it gets tough.

Placement: Placements here were a bit tough because of COVID, not many students got jobs. But usually, if you look at older records, placements are actually great, with many hotels hiring from our college. Also, a big part of our second year was mandatory training, and most of us got to do this in really good 5-star hotels.

Campus: Even if our campus wasn't that big, we got almost all the facilities we needed. They had a library, a mess, and kitchens were super well-equipped for all our practice. There were even dummy restaurants and other parts set up just like a proper hotel. And talking about food, our canteen is really good, always giving us great and cheap meals.

Admission: Orderliness shaped admission into IHM, with easy online registration, organised counselling, quick document verification, and clear fee payment steps. Onboarding felt smooth and efficient.

Academic: The faculty here has a lot of experience from working in hospitality, which is really good. They help us understand what to expect in the industry and how to act. Our curriculum is a bit old right now, but they are working to update it. Good thing for the first-year students who joined this year, their syllabus is totally updated with what the industry needs. Exams are quite easy if you study for just a week beforehand.

Placement: IHM is one of the best colleges in India for hotel management, so the placements here are always really good. During our internships, we get placed in big hotels like Taj, Oberoi, ITC, Marriott and all. Our teachers also help us a lot with getting these placements done.

Campus: All our classes have a smart projector built-in, which is super useful for everything. And, food is given every day to everyone, even if you are not a hosteler. The food quality is decent, you can eat it. We also get different dishes all the time because students learning to cook prepare them. Most of our classrooms dont have AC, but some do have that facility. For hotel management, the library has almost all the books you could ever need.

Admission: Simplicity described the online admission form, followed by prompt communication after the merit list. Counselling dates were clear, and the entire process up to final registration felt transparent and timely.

Academic: College staff are super helpful and awesome. All our teachers are also very professional and qualified, they have lots of experience in their subjects. When it comes to exams, we have three types: there's Viva, then practical exams, and finally the written board exam. You need 50% marks to pass.

Placement: Placements for our course are really good, with all 100 percent of students getting placed. The lowest salary package offered started from 50k. Many top companies like The Royal Taj, The Lalit, and The Regency by Tunga come to recruit students here. There isn't any specific percentage needed to get an internship. Plus, we got to experience a lot of different roles during our training sessions.

Campus: The college's facilities are good, like top-notch. It looks just like a hotel, which is pretty cool. We have many different classrooms and also specific rooms for practical work. One thing is, there's no hostel here. But don't worry, the canteen is super clean and good, and they have medical help too. You can also play sports and games here.

Admission: Communication remained strong after selection, with clear schedules for document verification and fee submission. Staff answered queries patiently, keeping final enrolment stress-free and efficient.

Academic: Our faculty is nice here. All the teachers are mostly friendly and always ready to help. They also have a lot of experience in their field. Talking about the studies, I feel the curriculum is quite relevant. From my batch, our university moved from IGNOU to JNU, so the syllabus changed a bit. Because of this, it sometimes feels a little rushed.

Placement: From my experience, the placements here are really good. In the final year of college, they have interviews for us. We can prepare properly for these. Many big hotels like Taj Mahal Palace, Taj Land End, Oberoi, Trident, Holiday Inn, and JW Mariott come to campus to interview and hire students.

Campus: Our college's infrastructure is just okay, nothing too special. The building itself is pretty old, you can even spot cracks on the walls and ceilings sometimes. We do have some space for parking our vehicles and a small area where students can play sports. Recently, they did renovate the college boundary wall though.

Admission: Straightforwardness followed NCHMCT JEE, with structured online counselling, quick document verification, and cooperative staff during registration. Admission from merit list to joining stayed efficient.

Academic: From my experience, our college has really good teachers, like, seriously top-notch. But I faced one issue where the college doesnt offer any specific course or specialisation for different food types, I mean, any cuisine. Because they try to cover every single thing, the syllabus and what they teach feels a bit general, and because of this, some menu cuisine sometimes gets overlooked.

Placement: My college focuses a lot on placements. For bachelor courses, especially in the hotel industry, they made sure everyone got a job in hotels. Plus, many students also got placed in QSRs and corporate offices. The best part is students were placed in roles they actually wanted. If someone didn't get a placement, it was their choice because they didn't wish to be placed.

Campus: Our college facilities are good. For us three-year students, there are four separate kitchens and also two dedicated bakeries. The teachers here are seriously the best. We have two restaurants too, for anyone who is into food and beverage. Plus, there is a front office lab where we practice all the different FO operations, and don't forget we have a housekeeping lab as well.

Admission: Ease marked my IHM admission post-NCHMCT JEE, with guided counselling, quick campus verification, supportive staff, and hassle-free registration and fee payment. Orientation details were shared efficiently.

Academic: College schedule is from 9 AM to 4:30 PM daily, and we have both practical and theory classes. The teachers here are very experienced. I feel the education quality in our college is really top class, and their teaching methods are also very good.

Placement: Internships, students in their second year get to do four months. The money you get, the stipend, is from Rs.1,000 to Rs.5,000 per month, it depends on the hotel. Mostly, 5-star hotels come for recruiting. Plus, we see many travel companies, cinemas, and fast food chains offering jobs too. When you get a job, the salary is usually between Rs.15,000 to Rs.30,000 each month. Our college has a really strong alumni network.

Campus: College has three hostels for students. Two hostels are for girls, and one is for boys. For girls, there's a separate hostel for NRI students and a general one. The food they serve in the hostel is not that great, but the good thing is all students get free lunch in the college mess. About the college building itself, the infrastructure is not very good because it's an old college and located in a small area.

Admission: Supportiveness from staff made admission smooth, as counselling stayed clear and verification at the desk was handled patiently. The online application was simple, and merit list communication was timely.

Academic: I like about our college is how good the faculty members are. They are so friendly and always helpful, and they totally keep up with all the new trends. They even teach us things like food photography, which is not part of our main course. But since it's a fresh market trend with lots of job chances, they make sure to put in the effort and teach us.

Placement: College gets a lot of big companies for placements, giving us students really good chances for jobs. Many prime brands from hotels like Taj, Oberoi, Hyatt, Accor, ITC, Lalit, Radisson, Lemon Tree, Ferns, and Park come here. And for retail, we see companies like Reliance, Aditya Birla, MCD, Dominos, CCD, Starbucks, Godrej, Best Sellers, and Shoppers Stop visiting too.

Admission: Consistency defined my IHM admission, with clear registration, prompt counselling after the merit list, and well-managed document verification. The entire process moved efficiently toward final registration.

Academic: The curriculum here is really good, it's super relevant and not just helps us get ready for jobs but also for handling real-life situations. Our teachers are very experienced and wise, they know so much about their subjects. They are definitely qualified to teach us everything. About the semester exams, they are not too hard, but they really test how much you actually know.

Placement: From my experience, the industrial training here is quite good. You get to do it for 4 months at really big 5-star hotels like Taj, Oberoi, Trident, JW Marriott, ITC, and Radisson Blu. When it comes to placements, they are also good. Huge hotel brands such as Taj, JW Marriott, and Oberoi come to our college to recruit students. They hold interviews to check your knowledge in your field. The average salary package is around 3 lakh and can go even higher.

Campus: Campus is not huge, but it's good enough for sports and big events like Cornucopia. The buildings are a bit old, but they are still good and well-kept. Inside the hostels, there's enough room for students, and the kitchens are clean and work fine. For those staying in the hostel, the mess food is really tasty and also healthy. If you want something else, there's a canteen with coffee, tea, Maggi, and other small snacks available for everyone.

Admission: Efficiency characterised my IHM admission, as instructions stayed clear from counselling to final registration. Document verification was systematic, staff were helpful, and joining had no major hiccups.

Many went to QSRs, and famous places like Taj, Oberoi, Hyatt, Leela, Lalit, and McDonald's recruited from our college. The average salary package was 3 lakhs per year, but some students even got 7.5 lakhs, while the lowest was 2 lakhs.

Campus: My college buildings look really nice, very beautiful. The campus is a good size, not super big like those in Mumbai, but it's not small either. We get Wi-Fi available all the time, which is super helpful, and the security here is also very good. The only downside is that the canteen has been closed since last year. They do give lunch every day to students, but there's no variety of food at all.

Admission: Clarity defined the IHM admission process, from online registration to the merit list announcement, with smooth document verification and helpful staff during counselling. Joining felt organised and easy to follow.

Academic: Our teachers are very helpful at this college. They teach us in a way that makes us ready for the industry, which is great.
