Entrance Preview :
Private exam conducted by college. 130 /200 , I opted this college because I heard good reviews from my friends.
Course Curriculum Overview :
Course started with basic introduction to Hotel field. Few months went into that. Then we were made to involve into college food festivals to understand the logistics of the field. That helped us lot to get practical knowledge. Then after first year there was 6 months training in second year. It was very helpful as it was more of practicals. Third year was again full of lectures.
Internships Opportunities :
Internship / 6 moths training happens during second year of the course. It happens either in first 6 months or in other 6 months. It depends on your college. Stipend depends on which hotel you work in. Few good hotels gave INR 3,000 per months whereas other varied from 500 - 1500.
Placement Experience :
Placements interview took place in 2nd half of the final year in Anjuman I Islam. Our recruitment faculties were really good (Ms Harshali) gave us many opportunities. During our year almost 15 hotels with good name came for placements. Approx 80 of the students were selected for various hotel. Many of the hotels offer not more that 15K /month. Its basis structure almost all the hotels follow.
Fee Structure And Facilities :
Personally I felt that fees of the course is more. In my time from 2007 -2010 fees was approx 95,000 per year. Also during course you end up spending more 10,000 for various assignments. In third year you have Industrial Visits. For that if you want to go abroad then you have to pay more 10,000 and if not then you go to Shimla Manali tour.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
I took education loan for 2nd as well as 3rd year. I took Educational loan from Bank of India. College was not tied up with any bank during my time. But all the necessary documents which were required to fulfill loan facility was provided by college after application.
Campus Life :
Campus life was very strict. But I think that should be there to make you mare polished. Each and Every day our uniform , attire and looks were checked at the gate of our building. Shaving , Polishing your shoes , cutting nails. wearing good and ironed cloths was compulsory. We thought it was silly until we realised it's importance after college days when it was time to get into industry.
Exam Structure :
Exams were on semester basis. If you are in Mumbai university then it use to happen as per Mumbai Universities schedule. And if it was for Allagapa university , we use to get time table from Tamilnadu. Practicals happened before written exam. Time table for practicals was decided by Anjuman I Islam college. Journal submissions used to take place before final exams.
Admission :
Exam was conducted by college in college premises before 2 months. After exams , results were displayed after 1 week. Then interview happened in college. After that final list of students according to merits and 12th std percentage was displayed. Then we were asked to submit academics proofs for standard 10 and standard 12th.
Faculty :
Most of the faculties in Anjuman I Islam Hotel management college was less of practical experience in hotels (except staff in Kitchen). Front office faculty was good. Mr Stephan gave us practical knowledge. Kitchen practical staff was were good as they were having many years of experience. Housekeeping staff was not up to the mark , since the subject itself has nothing more or any new to learn about.
