Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology is located at Seed Farm, Sector-G, Aliganj, Lucknow and is affiliated to the National Council of Hotel Management and Catering Technology located at the PUSA complex in New Delhi.
The first batch of three-year diploma in hotel management students passed out from the institute in 1983 when the institute was located on Ashok Marg road in the heart of Lucknow. Until 1989, the institute remained small with around 20 diploma students each year.
In the beginning of the academic year 1989, the institute moved to its present premises in Aliganj and batch size was increased to about 70 and more in later years.
The institute celebrated an alumni day in April 2006 and recently the silver jubilee of its first batch.
Known for its quality teaching, dedication of its faculty and brilliance of its students, the institute is not just one of the best hotel management institutes but also one of the best educational institutions of any kind in the country.
Suman Singh was the principal of the institute until 1990. R.K. Saxena joined as principal in 1990 and served for more than 14 years playing a leading role in shaping the quality, discipline and culture of the institute until he moved to IHM Mumbai as principal. Arun Kumar Singh took over from him and is currently the principal.
The alumni were informally organised by Hasnain Zaheer (1992) who created and popularised a Yahoo! Group in February 2001 which quickly became popular and today has more than 700 members.
The alumni love the institute, are deeply attached to it, and are all committed to advancing it.
