Hi Binal,
I think you should pursue Hospitality, Travel & Tourism management, as the course provide an in-depth and over all knowledge about the industry which will help you later as an air hostess. As the hospitality industry is a wide field to know and understand, as an air hostess also you at least need to know about the industry. You can pursue it from UTM, which is the campus of MIT Pune in Shillong. This university is known for its management courses and one my cousin also graduated from UTM and now she is enjoying her life on seventh clod and travelling all over. As per my knowledge they provide good placements as well reason being their association with big brands as the recruiters for campus placements.

All the best.
