What I was before joining and after passing out as a Hotel Management Graduate, are two different characters altogether. Studying at IIHMCA has defined those aspects in me. Even though I am still that shy, humble and kind human being, the way I carry myself at my workplace is totally different. Always dedicated towards my work and ever ready to lend a helping hand, i do not shy away to say that i had learnt this from the ever-helping teaching staff at this college. I still remember these words as told to me by the Director of the college during my admission interview….”Passion towards what you do and constantly reminding yourself as to why you started in the first place, can take you miles.” I am aware that there is still a long way to go, but this is what it has been so far.

IIHMCA helped me to expand the horizon of my knowledge and I will always remain thankful to my college lecturers and the management having given me a multi-dimensional learning, by providing the apt Mix of Academics, Industry Exposure and Leadership Skills, which would be there with me till the very end. The culinary training here is incomparable because of the immense depth of involvement by the faculty members to ensure that every single student in the class learns the nuances of the subject. I rate my college IIHMCA as an outstanding learning space.

Finding the right path to success at the right time is important and for that way I had selected Indian Institute of Hotel Management & Culinary Arts. The student-benefiting atmosphere with a systematic approach towards imparting education made me a competent individual. The wide range of activities- both curricular and co-curricular- along and the support from the teaching staff and the management was very helpful for my future. At IIHMCA, we are trained for our placements and because of that I was placed in one of the reputed companies. Today, if I am in a good position, it’s because of what I have learnt in this college. Lastly, I am proud to be a student of IIHMCA.

As you advance further in your career, you keep going back to where it all started and part of that is the college education; the constructive criticism you received and the persistence of the faculty members to make you succeed as a student but more importantly as a human being trying to make a difference in your world is something that I will always cherish. I give full credit to IIHMCA, Hyderabad where I learnt that “There is no short cut to success”. Here its sheer hard work along with hard work. Theory or practicals, all core subjects were presented not only as the syllabus mentions but beyond that. That’s the difference between a typical Hotel management college and IIHMCA.

Belonging to Hyderabad, It was quite easy for me to know about different Hotel Management colleges. Though my initial choice was to study commerce, I realised that studying an exciting career-oriented course which no one from my extended family has done so far would be a thrill. That’s when I walked into Indian Institute of Hotel Management and Culinary Arts since this college which is my alma mater is the best. The infrastructure and equipment are definitely motivating to learn because the campus creates that kind of atmosphere where students tend to put in their best efforts.

Since graduating from IIHMCA, I feel I use the knowledge learned from my degree every day in my career. I feel my college prepared me for what I would face once entering the job market, allowing me to hit the ground running and have success in various roles so far. I currently sit as the Front office Manager. My career has blossomed in the front desk operations and rooms division operations, solely due to the foundations of the hotel management curriculum that allowed me to build on all the practical classes-based learning. My favorite subject throughout my journey at IIHMCA was Human Resource Management. The core principles taught in theory and role-play classes set me up to understand and implement various analytical aspects of recruitment and induction of new employees in the organisation i work.

I am a proud product of IIHMCA. I got superb education here. The quality of education was phenomenal. The founders have created a fine environment for our education. Our faculties were fantastic. They did not behave like superiors. They treated students like a friend or a family member. I could approach them with questions anytime. They taught us with lot of interest and gusto. The practical classes, especially the non-culinary core subjects had lot of Role Plays which help students to shed all inhibitions and come out with confidence to learn more than what the syllabus has prescribed.

I whole heartedly feel that “I couldn’t have asked for a better learning platform where the group of lecturers who could guide me through my entire tenure of hotel management study”. They are truly passionate about transferring the right knowledge and also showing the apt methodology to be a keen learner and gain additional knowledge in the area of interest as per the student’s preference. IIHMCA creates a desire to be competitive and inspire others. I cannot express how grateful I am for experiencing such an amazing journey. IIHMCA has certainly shaped both my academic and professional career. Studying here was one of the best choices I ever made in my life.”

I hail from Odisha state. After completion of my intermediate from state syllabus, I was clueless as to what I would study further and make a decent career ahead. That’s when I came across a typical kitchen arts course in Berhampur, Odisha. After visiting the college there and also sourcing out information from the internet I came to know that Hyderabad is the best place to study Hotel Management and especially Kitchen related course. I visited 5 colleges in Hyderabad along with my father and ultimately decided to take admission in the Indian Institute of Hotel Management & Culinary Arts. The decision taken then, has certainly yielded fruits in plentiful. The equipment, the team of culinary lecturers supports the students excellently.

The Director, faculty and staff have played a major role in bringing out the best in me and given me the confidence of being the individual that I am. The fact that the institute provides its students the wings and encourages them to showcase their strengths and talent is commendable. I am proud to be a part of the IIHMCA family.

My education from Indian Institute of Hotel Management and Culinary Arts has allowed me to begin a successful and fulfilling entrepreneurial career. After my initial one year of operational experience, I ventured into a free-lance photography of interior designing, there after becoming an employment generator and started my own company, Pepper Homes, an interior designing and furniture designing. My inherent interest and keenness into upkeep of hotels & homes ignited my passion towards creating my own brand. I must say, that IIHMCA Has definitely ensured that I realise my dream by getting a basic real-time operational experience in a 5-star luxury hotel. I was able to hone my abilities due to the various events held in the college during my study and the constant push by the faculty to learn the hard way. I attribute my success to my academic journey at IIHMCA.

When I first stepped into Indian Institute of Hotel Management & Culinary Arts campus, I knew deep within, that with the kind of infrastructure and facilities the institute offered, I would excel. My passion is “food “in terms of preparation, plate presentation and innovations as I always wanted to be a Chef. The classroom teaching coupled with practical sessions provided me the zeal required in nurturing my talent. The overall experience gained during professional training in a starred hotel and participation in various curricular and co-curricular activities enhanced my performance both personally and professionally. The teaching-learning experience has been great over the three years and all the credit goes to the institute, dedicated chefs, faculty, great and committed administration workforce, and my fellow students.

Being a student for three years at this prestigious institute, it is evident that every product of this institute is destined for greater achievement. The faculty with their rich experience and expertise imparts knowledge to the students by using modern techniques effectively, which is an ode to the state-of-the-art infrastructure on a 40,000 sq feet campus. It is a blessing in disguise to be located in a bustling environment close to the new commercial and corporate hub of Hyderabad city, Cyberabad. All-in-all, it’s a great course, with great infrastructure, teaching faculty and staff. Though i am not working in the hotel industry, the syllabus and the additional developmental inputs given at IIHMCA has helped me to traverse into other service sectors.
