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.
