Ashok Institute of Hospitality and Tourism Management

Anyone weighing this institute should think about the trade offs of studying hospitality in the capital. Fees and living costs in Delhi run higher than in most other cities and accommodation is a real constraint, so a candidate from outside the region should settle where they will live before the session begins rather than after. Against that, the training opportunities are unusually good, since a student can complete industrial training in a large hotel, work through the peak wedding and conference seasons, and build the contacts that count for more in this industry than marks do.

The course rewards students who take the practical sessions seriously, keep a proper record of the kitchen and service work they have done, and treat the training period as an extended interview. Careers from here run wider than hotels alone, into airline and airport services, food service chains, event and conference management, retail and travel companies. Before joining, ask which body awards the qualification, what the fee covers beyond tuition, whether uniforms and equipment are charged separately, and where students from the last completed batch went to train.
