Ishm Kolkata: Top Choice for Aviation Management

There are so many Aviation colleges in Kolkata like JT Aviation, Frankfinn Institute, etc. The main reason due to which I chose this college was its training facilities is provided by this college only. No other aviation college in Kolkata provide this kind of on ground training facilities like fire fighting trainings, on air flying experience, handling real life emergencies etc. This was the reason of selecting this college over the other aviation colleges.

I chose BBA in Aviation Management as my career. The entry requirements are very simple. The students just have to get 50% marks in their Higher Secondary Board exams. In every 2 months, 1 summative exam is held and in every 6 months, 1 semester exam is held. The exams are very easy. The students just have to go through what is being taught to them in the college. The course curriculum is set in such a way that the students get enough time for preparing for their exams as well as for their trainings which in turn help them developing time management skills.

In the first year of the college, the course fee is around Rs. 1,80,000. In the second year of the college, the course fee is Rs. 1,30,000. In the third year of the college, the course fee is around Rs. 1,30,000. Hence, The total course fee is Rs. 4,30,000. Students become eligible scholarship of Rs. 50,000. For getting this scholarship, they have to give a small general knowledge test. The test is simple.

The faculty of this college is excellent. All the faculty members are very experienced. Our Head of the Department of Aviation, Mr. Ananda Ganguli, is a veteran of this field. He was Ex Airport Manager of Amritsar airport. He shares experiences of his professional life with us while teaching. He gives an insight of what we can expect after getting into such a position and what challenges we would have to face. The bonding between us is very friendly and strong. The teacher to student ratio is 15:90.

After the end of 5th semester, students become eligible for internship and placements. Numerous reputed airline companies like Indigo, Air India, Air India Express, etc. visit the campus. They provide good average package of around Rs. 2,50,000 per annum.

No, the college does not provide any hostel facilities. However, a number of PGs are available nearby college. The room rents are also not very expensive. The average room rent varies around Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 9,000. Students can easily get a room in these areas.

The infrastructure is designed as per the requirement of the students. The college has its own big, spacious library for the students where they can take benefit of numerous journals, textbooks, storybooks, etc. They just have to issue a library card. The classrooms are also very big accommodating around 100 students. In every classroom, there is one screen projector for digital & practical understanding of concepts. The college has also its very own fine-dining restaurant named 'Sizzle by ISHM’, which is run by the college faculties and some of the students who get internship opportunities or for training purposes. My favorite part of the college is the aviation classes. I just love them the most.

My campus life at ISHM is good to be honest. The crowd is not that much. In every course, an average of 50 students is there. Several extracurricular activities are organized like Cake Mixing Ceremony, Housekeeping week, fashion week, grooming week, etc. Numerous festivals are also celebrated like Republic Day, Independence Day, Puja celebrations etc. The students get to enjoy as well learn a lot about collaborating effectively for the success of such events. I am really enjoying my campus life at ISHM.
