Hotel Management & Catering Technology (BHMCT)

 

Course Perspective

The service industry is one of the most flourishing industries in India today. Hospitality can be termed as the service given to people. The travel and tourism sector, hotel industry etc are in constant need of people. The hospitality sector mainly focuses on the services that are provided to the customers. However, candidates opting for a career in the hospitality sector have to go through a rigorous training program to be able to sustain the ever growing demands of this industry. The career scope after the completion of these courses is very wide and promising.
A decade ago, NSHM School of Hotel Management under the aegis of NSHM Academy, pioneered the Hotel Management Education in the East.

Infrastructure

The state-of-the-art infrastructure provides the perfect ambience for learning at NSHM. Classroom teachings paired with adequate practical training makes the students industry ready. The institute boasts of multiple hi-tech food production units, F&B training restaurants, kitchens, bakeries, confectionary, a front office lobby and a guest room, all fully equipped to impart practical training to the students.

FOOD PRODUCTION LAB: The entire food production laboratory area can be comparable to the facilities of a 5 star category Hotel. It has been designed by Golden Hat Chef Arvind Saraswat (Ex. Director Food Production, Taj Group of Hotels) and the students are trained here following the Principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point).

HI-TECH CULINARY HUB: The NSHM School of Hotel Management has added another proud feather to its infrastructural cap by having a hi-tech culinary hub with a layout of 8312 sq.ft. (built-up area) housing a demo kitchen, vegetable processing and confectionery kitchen apart from basic, quantity, bakery, cold kitchen & butchery.

STUDIO KITCHEN: The state-of-the-art Studio Kitchen (912 sq.ft.) is planned to train our students to be master chefs as well as to face TV cameras. In other words they learn the art of interactive cuisine. At a time, a group of 30 students are trained during each practical session, but the priority is one to one coaching. We have a food production lab (7545 sq. ft.) for first year students, where they are taught basic kitchen training, advanced kitchen training, bakery, cold kitchen and butchery.

FRONT OFFICE TRAINING LAB: The Lab is designed like the reception and atrium type lobby area of a star category hotel with computers logged on to a real time programme. Students get a first-hand experience in front office management in accordance with international curriculum. The course covers areas such as reservation & registrations, cashiering, night audit and floor management. The students get to practice on industry standard software (PMS, MMS & POS) of Fidelio and Shawman's.

ACCOMMODATION OPERATION LAB: The institute's state-of-the-art housekeeping laboratory and the Maharaja Suite have been designed to simulate the modern luxury hotels. Students are trained to reproduce the same look everyday which calls for patience and an eye for detail. The course also includes hands-on training in Room Management & Laundry Operations.

AUTOMATION: A CST based state-of-the-art Property Information System, Fidelio Version 7.13 has been installed over a LAN, involving the units of front office, accommodation, food & beverage service and food production. WI-FI CAMPUS: NSHM has always been at the forefront of technology and has one of the most hi-tech campuses in the city. We have a campus-wide wireless network (3600 coverage) with SNMP Management.

FOOD & BEVERAGE SERVICE LAB: The Lab has two F&B service restaurants, fully equipped & air-conditioned, having a modern functional bar which has the perfect 5-star ambience with a live band. 'Rendezvous' is blazing a trail as a restaurant imparting the latest training methodologies. The training system is built on high-tech expertise and straddles between academics & industry. In fact 'Rendezvous' has emerged as an aspiration brand that draws the best minds towards the students to hone their skills in guest handling, food & beverage product and service development, MIS and bar operation. 'Rendezvous' operates in tune with the Vedic philosophy of 'Athithi Devo Bhavha' that literally means 'the Guest is God.'

EXECUTIVE CLASSROOM: The Executive Classroom (ECR) provides an ideal study environment with state-of-the-art presentation and communication facilities. In the increasingly globalised environment of today, it is imperative that an international quality environment is created to enable proper dissemination of knowledge. The ECR is meant to do just that. The two way video conference facility at the ECR connects us to the world and creates a virtual classroom.

MIND ROOM: The spacious Mind Rooms or classrooms are well equipped with state-of-the-art learning tools like LCD projectors, LAN connections and Green Boards.

LANGUAGE & PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT LAB: This unique learning facility helps students hone their communication competencies. The lab is well equipped with modern communication gadgets.

Message From the Principal

"I happen to be associated with NSHM School of Hotel Management since 2003. When I joined this esteemed institution, it was already into its 7th year of Operation and I found this college with lots of potential to develop into one of the top hotel management institutions in India. The vision, the mission and the dedication of the team members along with the eagerness of the then students to excel and carve a niche for themselves impressed me a lot. The number of years of experience behind me from my Industry and Academic Career days and my last stint with the industry as a General Manager of a hotel helped me bring industry leaders to this picturesque School of Hotel Management. Starting 2004 NSHM SOHM saw a quantum leap in its Training & Placement performance and the situation is such now that we start our placement in September every year and finish all campus interviews by December, for the batch passing out next year. Since 2007, faith has been reposed on me to steer the boat of this School and along with the supportive management members and dedicated faculty and team members, we are gradually reaching to the top in eastern India and our presence has been felt nationally as well. In 2008 we were rated in Top 15 Hotel Management Institutes in India(Competition Success Review), in Top 10 in 2010(Outlook June 2010), felicitated amongst Top Hotel Management Institutes in India in 2011 (Competition Success Review) and second best in Eastern India(CSR April 2012). Infrastructure, Academic Delivery, Extracurricular activities, training and placement and mentoring students is our forte. There are a set of brilliant people with laurels and distinctions as faculty members who have made it possible over last fifteen years that 1500 plus alumni of this alma mater is working all across the globe and recruiting their juniors, paving the way for International work exposure for our students. I have found it to be one of the few institutions of Hotel management, where the finest Chefs & professionals from the industry have joined as Full time faculty, and have pursued their higher studies through publication of research papers and upgrading their qualification. Many of them are pursuing their PhD. The School also paved the way for me to be nominated in various committees of West Bengal University of Technology, West Bengal State Council of Technical Education and All India Council for Technical Education. The school is also having IATA, Amadeus and Educational Institute of American Hotel & Lodging Association as knowledge partners. The way this School is grooming the students holistically, developing the associated faculty resource I strongly feel in near future, it will be a preferred destination for the students and the Industry-and that is our motto-To be the knowledge hub of global excellence. – Amitabh Dey
