      Pursuing BHM quality of education is excellent and the faculty are all well versed in their respective fields. Best place to study for hotel management with good placement opportunities and internship options.

      College Infra

      I believe that the college has the best infrastructure in terms of being a hotel management College with state of the art classrooms, fully equipped kitchens, training rooms for each department. Got a beautiful library.

      Placements

      Top level talent hunting with all big brands in hospitality coming for placements. 100% placement. The college is super supportive when it comes to placement. Big brands like Marriott, taj, itc, oberois, Accor.

      Value For Money

      Cost 3.5lakhs a year. I'd say it's worth it with the knowledge and skill set you'll develop with the various certifications you'll be getting and most of all the experience and the connections you make.

      Amazong campus, well structured curriculum

      BA Culinary Arts - Batch of 2024-01-01
      4.6

      Academics

      I studied Bachelor of Culinary arts. Its a 3 year degree and WGSHA provided a very structured curriculum with a lot of add ons. Faculty was supportive and friendly. They encouraged us to learn more and dive deeper into the curriculum. They taught us HR, marketing, Finance, purchase and control, business communication inspite of pursuing a culinary degree. They also provided city and guilds certification in kitchen production or patisserie. They even conducted WSET wine tasting sessions and provided certification. Even though the course is expensive it's super worth it.

      College Infra

      WGSHA has one of the best infrastructure among all the other hospitality colleges in India. One of the main reason I chose WGSHA without looking the ROI is it's infrastructure. They use advanced technologies and equipments. Provides WI-FI, Hostel, Mess, Indoor and outdoor sports arena and many other facilities for the students and staff. New WGSHA building has helped us immensely for our placements with its new equipments and facilities. The mess food is also the best. I haven't been sick even for a day after eating from the campus mess.

      Campus Life

      Amazing campus life. There are students coming from different parts of thr worlds, it offers so much diversity. Manipal has become a nostalgia for me now, even a small town can become a beautiful place with the right group of friends.

      Placements

      Placements were great. Big companies like hyatt, hilton, marriott, etc visited the campus. The selection rounds involved GD and Interviews. Chef Arup was the placement cordinator and he made sure he puts an extra effort to get everyone placed. The average package is about 3-4 lakhs which is as per the industry standards.

      Value For Money

      The ROI is is average. For me the total course fees was 9 lakhs. And there were companies that were offering 4-6 LPA. I did not sit for placements as I opted for further studies. The money is worth it for the environment and expsoure whether it was sports, industry, co-curricular, or anything else.

      Academics

      Studying BA culinary arts was an obvious choice for me because of my love for cooking. I've always been passionate about creating and experimenting with food.The faculty members are not only well qualified but also bring real world industry experience to the table. The curriculum too is well-designed and keeps up with the latest trends and developments in the culinary world.The hands on approach makes us ready for the jobs.

      College Infra

      When it comes to infrastructure, my College truly stands out. Pursuing a BA in Culinary arts meant that I spent a lot of time in kitchens, and I can confidently say that they were world class. Apart from the kitchen the overall infrastructure of the campus was equally impressive. The classrooms were modern, spacious and well-lit creating a great atmosphere for learning.There was a culinary museum which had all the old utensils and pots.overall the infrastructure of my college played a huge role in shaping my learning experience.

      Campus Life

      College life was really good and vibrant.onr of the unique aspects of our college was the mentor -mentee program, where each student was assigned a faculty member. If students had any problem the mentor would be there.varioisvother events and cultural's were also conducted in the campus.

      Placements

      The quality of placements at my college was really good. Right from the beginning the college emphasizes building a strong foundation for students.in terms of numbers the placement rates are high. Placements come from a lot of big companies and mostly everyone is placed. The salary package initially comes between 20 k to 60 k per month.

      Value For Money

      The ba culinary arts program costed for me about 980000 rsand i genuinely feel it was worth it. When you consider the level of infrastructure provided the quality of teaching, placements and practical exposure the investment feels justified.
