Why students may rethink plans to enrol in hospitality institutes

The 1,200-plus hospitality/hotel management institutes across India could see a dip in enrolments as students get increasingly concerned about employment options in the sector after the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Education consultants and aspirants told Moneycontrol that there is a fear about the hospitality industry taking much longer to get back to 'pre-COVID-19 levels'. Students enrolling into these programmes are at higher risk of poor placements.

"Demand for courses in areas like hospitality and hotel management has dipped by almost 30 percent compared to last year."
