IHM Gwalior - Institute of Hotel Management, Catering Technology & Applied Nutrition

Admission: The teachers at our college were a mixed bag. Some were really great  super helpful, experienced in their fields, and always there to support us. But then there were others who felt like they were just there for show, not much help at all. The course content was a major letdown. It was outdated and didn't prepare us well for the real world. It's not just our college though, all IHMs have the same problem. The hotel industry is moving fast, but our college is stuck in the past with their old-fashioned curriculum. It's time for an upgrade!

Placement: Most students (around 80%) got jobs through the college, while others found jobs on their own through walk-in interviews. The highest salary offered was about 6 lakhs per annum, and the lowest was around 3.5 lakhs per annum. On average, students got offered 4.5 lakhs per annum.

Sports facilities include basketball, volleyball, badminton, football courts, and a cricket field with sports kits.
