Which one is best among Chandigarh University and Chitkara University for B.Sc. In hotel management?

Hi, Talking about Hotel management programs, I must make a point that this field is highly professional and requires a high degree of practical exposure. And the practical exposure needs infrastructure and equipment in an adequate quantity. Being a purely industry-oriented programme, the faculty members must be a great mix of industry-academia. There is no dearth of jobs in this field, but the ones who get maximum exposure, hands on knowledge and nuances of the job get them rather than the theoretical study guys. In short, the curriculum development, programme delivery, teaching pedagogy, infra and equipment, industry interface, internships, and other projects, student diversity and professional enhancement all play a huge role in producing the well-rounded professionals who can take the opportunities. In 16 years of my career I have seen many universities working in the field, but I could not find one which works with passion like LPU does. The unflinching focus on exposure lead to establishing a full-fledged Hotel and a Shopping mall within the campus. No university in India can boast of this kind of scale and level at which LPU operates. So I was a little bit surprised that you didn't ask about it in the question. Coming to placements, the track record of LPU is unmatched with over 700 companies being regular to campus for recruitment.

<p>Chandigarh University and Chitkara University both provide opportunities in hotel management and if we look at Lovely Professional University (LPU's) B.Sc. in Hotel management the experience at LPU is hard to match. The modern infrastructure and global partnerships, along with hands-on learning exposure, takes student experience to another level: LPU equips students with training kitchens, model restaurants and hospitality labs that simulates real-life experience in the industry. LPU focuses on soft skills, communication, and personality development, which is key given the field. Students have exposure to national and international internships, workshops from industry experts and other small to major placements (career outcomes) along with several chains branded in both India and overseas. Each university has its strengths, but LPU's style of learning is primarily hands-on, academic, and global exposure demonstrates a solid approach to preparing students for careers in a field they love and making an impact in they want.</p>

<p>When I visited Chandigarh University to check out the B.Sc. Hotel &amp; Hospitality Management program, what stood out right away was how real and practical everything felt. They've got fully-equipped Production Labs, Bakery Labs, Housekeeping &amp; Laundry Labs, and even Front Office Simulation Suites—it honestly felt like walking through a luxury hotel, not a typical college setup.</p><p dir="ltr">What really adds value is their collaboration with hotel giants like Taj, Marriott, Hilton, and Oberoi, which opens doors for internships and real-world experience. Some seniors even got to attend global exchange programs in countries like Switzerland and Canada. CU also trains you on Opera PMS, which is widely used in the hotel industry.</p><p dir="ltr">If you're sure about hands-on learning and want exposure beyond just textbooks, CU's hospitality programme is honestly worth considering.</p>
