To exploit the vibrant India’s financial sector, our proposed tie-up with the tenth-largest stock-exchange in the world, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will provide our students an excellent opportunity to specialize in Financial Markets. These collaborations with the best institutions exposes students to world-class pedagogy and the resulting interaction with the elite academia have been highly impactful. Through the tie-up with Disneyland, USA our Hotel Management students are provided hands-on experience at the world-famous theme park. The tie-up with one of the world’s leading hotel chains, the Paris based Accor Hotels, France has been value enhancing. The academic partnership with Taylor’s University, Malaysia, a global leader in Hospitality management, allows us to bring their unmatched expertise to our students.
