S R M Institute Of Hotel Management

You’ll find us out in Potheri, part of the larger SRM Nagar area in Kattankolathur. It’s a bit of a trek from the main city, but the campus is large. We are the hotel management wing here. The days are long for the students. They start early with their practicals. You might see a group out in the morning practicing their service or tucked away in the kitchens dealing with huge pots of food. It’s a hands-on type of environment. We don't spend all day just reading books. There is a lot of cleaning, chopping, and organizing involved. The building is number two in the complex. It’s a practical setup. We have mock rooms that look like hotel suites so people can learn how to make a bed properly. It sounds simple, but there’s a way to do it. The equipment we use is what you’d see in any big commercial kitchen. It gets loud and a bit chaotic when lunch service starts. We have staff who have worked in the industry for years, so they don't have much patience for laziness. It’s about getting the job done right. The weather out here in Kattankolathur can get really hot, but we just keep moving. It’s not a fancy life, but it’s a good trade to learn. We’ve been here since the campus was much smaller and we just keep doing our thing.
