About Oriental School of Hotel Management (OSHM)

Oriental School of Hotel Management (OSHM), Lakkidi, is India's leading destination for hospitality education, situated in the mist-clad hills of Wayanad, Kerala. Established in 1995 under the Malabar Hotel Management and Catering Promotion Trust, OSHM has built a formidable reputation as a center of excellence, consistently ranking among the top hotel management institutes in the country by major publications like India Today and Outlook. The college is spread across a scenic 28-acre campus (shared with its sister institutions) and is uniquely positioned to offer 'Real-Life Training' because the management owns and operates a functional 5-star property, Vythiri Village Resort & Spa, right next to the campus. The institution offers a comprehensive suite of programs affiliated with the University of Calicut and NCHMCT (Govt. of India), including B.Sc. in Hospitality and Hotel Administration, BHMCT, and specialized courses in Culinary Arts. The learning environment at OSHM is designed to simulate the highest global standards of the hospitality industry. From quantity food production labs that cater to hundreds, to mock bars and front office suites, students are immersed in a professional setting from day one. The faculty comprises seasoned hospitality veterans who bring decades of experience from international hotel chains to the classroom. What truly sets OSHM apart is its 'Placement First' philosophy. The college's active placement cell maintains strong ties with global hospitality giants, ensuring that students secure internships and jobs in prestigious hotels across India, Europe, and the Middle East. Beyond academics, student life is enriched by events like the 'AIGNITE' fest and frequent interaction with industry leaders during food festivals and conventions hosted at the resort. With its ISO 9001:2015 certification and a legacy of producing industry-ready leaders, Oriental School of Hotel Management remains the gold standard for hospitality training in South India.
