Dear Priyanka,
It sounds very absurd that you wish to do your Hotel Mgmt after your MBA.
I have worked in this industry (in Taj, IHHR, Bharat Hotels & Leela) for 38 years, and my experience is that, this is a good career, provided you have the aptitude for the same. One of my colleagues has mentioned above that your social life gets butchered in this industry. Which is partly true to the great extent, but again it all depends on your mindset and what are you looking for in your career. It is tough no doubt. However there are so many people, ( males as well as females) who are so passionate about this Industry, and they are doing extremely well.
There are so many ladies I know of, who have been doing extremely well in their career in this industry and they are not repenting,( because that is what they are looking for in their career). Initially it is a very tough career, because you need learn everything yourself to master the skills and job knowledge ( which helps tremendously for your future career growth, ) Once you master your Department's Job Knowledge and skills, and develop leadership skills ( which Reputed Hotels teach in house) then you will not look back in your career, ( Then it is fast track career, and here your MBA in HR will help you for leadership skills/qualities)
I would advise you to get your aptitude test done, in a reputed Institute, which will tell you, whether you are made for career in the Hospitality industry. This will also give you an idea which department in this Industry, you are made for. In case you are creative and if you like cooking, you will shine as Chef. you will also get to know the other career options, through A. T.)
In case you decide to do the Hotel Mgmt., pl do it in a reputed Institute or join the Management Training Programme of a Reputed Hotel Chain, in which case you need not pay, and in fact you will earn salary. However you need to have good academic record ( with mastery in any subject you enjoyed during your academic career) and good communication skills.
Here is the information regarding the names of Institutes:
In India 24 institutes providing training in hotel management are affiliated to National Council of Hotel Management and Catering Technology (NCHMCT) , There are other institutes run by hotel chains and finally, Private Hotel Management institutes with foreign affiliations. For the student, the best bet is to try for courses offered by reputed chains of hotels or institutes coming under the National Council.
