This endeavour has been to keep the teaching standards in hospitality institutes at high level.

The post pandemic boom in the hospitality sector has been encouraging for the employability and availability of such opportunities in the tourism and hospitality sector for pass outs from the Institute of Hotel Management under the umbrella of the NCHMCT.

The new hotel and properties coming up in tier 2 and tier 3 cities by reputed group of hotel chains and augmentation of hiring in the other hospitality related sectors such as retail, hospitals, malls etc. are also encouraging aspects for prospective hotel management pass outs.
