Really good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: I graduated from WGSHA, Manipal's B.A. Culinary arts programme. My batch of 182 students had 70–95% placements, with top recruiters like Hyatt, Marriott, ITC, etc. The internship programme is great; you can opt for abroad too and also by yourself.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are top-notch. You would never be disappointed. Proper classrooms and the library are on a whole different level with the books that you could get. Additionally, the mess food is great compared to other mess foods. Another advantage is that the kitchen facilities and uniforms are great.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful; you can always rely on them for anything. The exams are electronic and don't use paper. The pass percentage is 40% but its great. The course curriculum keeps changing every year and that's actually a good thing.

Other: Manipal would be the best home you can be in.
