Amar, who made his last years B.Sc. — (Hons) in hotel management at the Institute for International Management and Technology (IIMT), Gurgaon, has just returned after a year’s internship at the Radisson Hotel in London. He is now convinced that a good break in the gastronomic sector, not only in India but also in the international market.

IIMT a tie-up at Oxford Brookes University, UK, UK offers a level of their students. The degree to Dr. Kamlesh Misra, Director, IIMT, “was comparable to the level proposed in the UK, and if the student wishes, it was also the last year for which, of course, on campus and UK. “IIMT is a joint venture of Radisson Hotels International, Edwardian Group in Germany, India and Unitech GGL Co., Ltd, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gujarat Ambuja Cements Ltd

Apart from IIMT, is the training institute in Integrated Management (IILM), which has a tie-up with the University of Bradford, and offers a wide range of Undergraduate and Post-Graduate courses and Wigan and Leigh outside the college UK, a number of vocational courses.

The factor is that in all these foreign financial institutions and insurance, a job. Another factor common to all these institutions, the fact that none of them are recognized by the Indian government. So how credible are these courses?

“We are not the government’s efforts on the recognition that our courses are recognised by the industry,” notes Dr. Ahindra Chakravarti, Director, IILM.

“All our courses are the same as for the curriculum offered at the university in Britain. The study comes from there, but the studies are, themselves, and the Faculty is also, for them,” says Mishra. “All of our programs have one year of training, and most of our students go to Britain, the United States or Australia for their internship,” he says.

In most cases, in which companies rent their training, “he said.

Mr. Pashricha believes that the University of India not to deliver, and the number of vocational institutes much less than the actual demand, more and more students from India abroad for professionals courses of study.

When Dr. IILM of Chakravarti, who said: “Our courses are geared towards the needs of work and are of a high academic standard. On the contrary, university courses are obsolete and not equip a student on the face of the industry. Therefore, more and more large number of students come to us in the Undergraduate level.

Drawing a comparison between the bids and the way throughout the country leading organizations such as the IIMs, NIFTs and NID, Mr. Pasricha said, “Our courses are more survival is commercially available in the first Institute of India.

The IIMs and NIFTs doubt, the cream of students, but none of the Indian Institute offer such a variety of vocational courses. ”

“The IIMs have a track record of 25 years, while the chains of Foreign Studies in India are new and is rapidly gaining popularity,” said Dr Mishra IIMT, Gurgaon.

The industry, on the other hand, it seems quite open, the recruitment of students from these universities.

Qualifications little question these days. We recruited students from Wigan and Leigh for our clients media and service departments and are very satisfied with them. ”
