Is a hotel management course difficult?
Hotel management isn’t difficult, rather interesting. As someone already wrote, you will study subjects like Front Office management, Food & Beverage Service, House Keeping and Food Production/ Culinary Arts. Also, modern education in hotel management also includes simulation and aviation labs, restaurant training labs, basic and advanced kitchen training labs, etc.In addition to that, Food Science & Nutrition, Bakery, Wines & Spirits is also taught along with many other subjects. You should choose a good institute which should be able to provide all such facilities under one roof. I can recommend LPU school of Hotel Management where one can pursue following specializations-Diploma in Food Production, Diploma in Bakery & ConfectioneryB.Sc.( Hotel Management)Bachelor of Hotel Management & Catering TechnologyB.Sc. in in Airlines, Tourism & Hospitality.Apart from that, programs at Masters and Doctorate level are also available in LPU. Each program is unique and has following salient features:Live projects- Hands on experience by working on live project-based assignments to develop a sense of problem solving, critical thinking in order to gain real life understandingEmployability Enhancement- Provides an excellent combination of theory, practical and industry focused study, leading to a range of global hospitality employment opportunities.Industry Immersion- Excellent combination of academic learning and practical, industry focused studyProfessional Enhancement- In addition to core curricula, course offers subjects like communication and soft skills to enhance personality and employability.Job prospects are very high in this field and you can see yourself working at national and international brands.
Can Pakistanis pursue education in India?
Very interesting question!!!I will assume you are referring to college level education and above. If any higher institution in India does allow foreign students to enroll, there is no technical reason that Pakistani students should be ineligible to apply. However reality is a bit more complicated. Education institutions in India act mostly within the framework of the localpgovernment and rarely can they exert sufficiently strong influence without it. Unfortunately these influences may sometimes act against communal spirit. When a societal situation becomes charged it wouldn't be surprising if a Pakistani is made a scapegoat (vice versa for Indians in Pakistan). Inspite of all efforts, the Indian cumulatie thinking has perhaps not matured beyond finger pointing and a natural prey like Pakistan with whom India shares a complicated relationship is an easy target.Another fact is that Pakistani institutions are more or less of equal cadre as their Indian counterparts. And when they do wish to go for higher studies outside Pakistan, there are a lot more options other than India. Because of the above reasons, I guess it is rare that a Pakistani would voluntarily opt to study in India. Having said this I do hope that India and Pakistan embrace their relationship in more optimistic fashion in the future. By current trends it may just be possible.
Which is a better institution for doing a post-graduation: AIIMS or PGIMER, Chandigarh?
I am bit biased…I have done MS Surgery & MCh Neurosurgery from PGI. Its the best place. Experience & exposure is unmatchable. PGI is not a referral medical centre & hence, residents tend to see all types of cases, from simple to complicated. AIIMS has a tendency to refer simple or non-interesting cases to Safdarjung, which robs the residents of their due.AIIMS has a better post-training platform for residents to take off, owing to its location in Delhi, which we miss in PGI. But, yes…we belong to Chandigarh, the beauty of Chandigarh is just unmatchable.
Is hotel management a good course?
I had the same question when I joined IHMCT Trivandrum, the doubt was persistent throughout my college life.. During first year all I thought of was getting a well paid job after I graduate. By the time I finished my first semester did I realize that hotel industry doesn't pay its employees well in its initial years.Second semester was all about reassurances to myself that I hadn't made a mistake and becoming a chef was the dream. Little did I know that this dream will change drastically in just 17 weeks. We underwent internship in our 3rd semester, and my dream of over 5 years shifted tracks, the struggle was intense in the kitchen. I got my reality check that the chef life isn't really that glamorous.. but I found refuge at the bar, my new found love ‘liquor’(if you stare at a wine rack well enough you'll get hooked!).4th semester all I cared was to learn more and more about alcohol. And I'd say that I was pretty good at it.Time is a bitch when you're in college, 3rd year started and so did the interview sessions.. companies after companies. I got through with a lot of them, offer letters were lining up. They'd ask what I was comfortable with, I'd say liquor.. Boom!All the jobs paid you more or less the same and it wasn't good enough, I was still dicey about the hotel thing. This is when Bestseller came to our college, a retail giant from Denmark. I knew I wanted this and boy did I get it!I worked with Bestseller for 2 years. I was promoted thrice, the perks and incentives were good. My experience got me a seat in MBA. I'll be starting next month. (Wish me luck)Hotel Management is not everybody's muse. Not everyone is paid good initially. But I can assure you that it makes you a better person. You'll learn life skills there. I still cook, and mind you I cook well. My first management lesson was from a hospitality institute and I'm sure its gonna take me a long way.https://www.linkedin.com/company...
