Hotel / Hospitality Management

IIHM (International Institute of Hotel Management) and Rig Institute are very well known institutes in the field of hospitality & travel. They both offer a variety of courses in the sector and are known to have a very good infrastructure in the campus for the training of students. Both institutes offer the degree programs in affiliation with Bharathiar University, Coimbatore and these programs are distance learning degrees, however, the training is provided completely in regular mode. The major difference in the admission process lies in the entrance exam. IIHM admissions are based on IIHM eCHAT whereas, RIG takes admission on basis of merit of 10+2. They hold some scholarships for the ranking student of the NCHMCT JEE exam. However, as a preference, it would be advisable to go for IIHM as the first choice as the same has a large number of branches and holds stronger connections in the placement of the hospitality & travel sector. This results in better placements. Some of the top recruiting companies have been Cox& king, MakeMyTrip, Yatra, Thomas Cook, etc.

NSHM Knowledge Campus has campuses at two locations I. e. Kolkata & Durgapur in West Bengal. It has different schools in both campuses. It's school of Hotel Management offers two courses that are equivalent to engineering degree hence recognised by AICTE & the degree is awarded by Maulana Azad University, the central technological university of West Bengal. Both the courses are of four year's duration and quite well taken up by students. On the other hand Frankfinn Institute is perhaps the best known name in the field of training of airhostess. This was started by the institute way back in 1993. It has been recognised by industry body as the best in business of Airhostess training. Perhaps seeing potential and to use brand value it has forayed into Hospitality as well as tourism related courses also. In conclusion, I would say that if one wishes to go for hotel management then the choice is NSHM but if the requirement is for training as cabin crew then the choice would be Frankfinn Institute.
