How do you prepare your students for placement in your institute? 

“We provide industrial and on-job training to students with help of placement cell”

There are three Segments as far as placement is concerned for a Hotel Management Student

  • Industrial Training (IT): It is an integral part of any Hotel Management Course. The duration of the training depends on the industry, but usually, it is 22 weeks to 6 months.
  • On Job Training(O.J.T): Under this training first, the student must have completed their industrial training then only they can be selected for O.J.T. The duration of O.J.T ranges between 6 months to 1yr. We provide O.J.T only in star hotels through on-campus selection. 
  • Job Placements: We are working for the last 22 years and have cordial relationships with almost all the leading 5-star Hotels and Independent hotels across India.

What is your philosophy of leadership? 

“Leadership that promotes democracy and growth for all is what I believe in”

Leadership to me is leading from the front. Having a charismatic personality and excellent communication skills, along with knowledge and abilities to persuade is essential for this. I believe in a democratic leadership that allows everyone's growth, be it students or teachers.

What would you like people to know about your institute that they may not know?

"Students become dynamic professionals after completing our program"

I hope you know that if you intend to enrol your children in any of Amazon's courses, they will not merely be students to us, but they will become an integral part of our Amazon family. It's our responsibility to nurture, train, and transform them into a reality.
