I am very thankful to VIM for making my journey a memorable and wonderful one. All my faculty members and specially our principle have provided substantial guidance to develop myself as a hotelier. Thank you very much; I will miss my entire VIM family very much!

- Kathan Parikh, B.Sc. in HM & T 2013 Batch

I'm having a great time with VIM! More than an institute it is like a family to me, where my mistakes are always corrected. This is a place where I explore myself as a person and always get opportunities, to do creative things through different events and functions in the institute, with recognition.

- Athira Nair, B.Sc. in HM & T 2014 Batch (Ms. Fresher 2014)

I have remained academically very strong since schooling but here I have explored a practical aspect of life for me. I have become more confident and disciplined with better decision making abilities. The opportunities I have got being a 1st year student is only because of VIM.

- Vaishvi Desai, B.Sc. in HM & T 2015 Batch

Though my association with VIM is eight months old I have a deep attachment with it. Here professional and personal attention is being given to every student for overall development.

- Kamal Purohit, MBA in HM & T 2015 Batch

That one year i have spent at VIM was no less than a mesmerizing journey for me. I learnt a lot during this journey. Life is not only about giving exams and getting good results, it is beyond that. It is about future, about career and that I achieved because of VIM.

- Aakib Shaikh, Diploma in HM 2014 Batch

Being from Rajkot and having desire to make my career in hospitality has become possible only because of this institute. It has prepared me for the challenges of this industry and of life. Now I am not scared but confident about my success.

- Ritu Rajyaguru, MBA in HM & T 2015 Batch (Ms. Fresher 2015)

Leaving behind my CS, I joined this course. It is an institute where I have evolved myself. It has given lot of opportunities to me and motivated me to push myself beyond my capabilities. It is the best place for me as it has built passion in me towards the hospitality industry.

- Abhishek Tiwari, B.Sc. in HM & T 2015 Batch

VIM is creating opportunities for students, working very hard for every single student, and developing every student to next level. I have faced many ups and downs during my journey, but my faculties were always there to guide me and with their guidance I have overcome them.

- Kiran Basutkar, B.Sc. in HM & T 2014 Batch (Mr. Fresher 2014)

- Shruti Anandpara, MBA in HM & T 2015 Batch

I wonder how that one year has changed my life. A graduate who was having no direction about his career once but after this program has become a professional and has developed a vision to conquer this industry with his skills and knowledge.

- Fazaluddin Morkas, Diploma in HM 2014 Batch

At VIM, we have not only been taught our course academics but also have been taught core values and principles of life. I doubt in any other institute the principal would be aware about each and every student of the institute and would interact with them on a regular basis and always support them. VIM is my second family!

- Gati porecha, B.Sc. in HM & T 2014 Batch

Sometimes destiny does better than what you can do for your own. The program and the institute both entered in my life as a destiny but both have developed in me the abilities to decide my destiny.

Learning at VIM has prepared me for reality of working in Hotel Industry. It has provided me with the necessary skills and knowledge required in all areas. Great place to study with the faculty members having years of experience within the Hospitality Industry, who helped me to understand what to expert from the industry.

- Dhwani Nayak, Diploma in HM 2015 Batch

VIM is one of the best Hotel Management institutes with a vibrant atmosphere and team. It teaches student, away of living life over and above studies and exploring new things on their own. Also direct them to build a strong foundation on their own to create a successful career in the Hospitality Industry.
