There are many types of courses available on Travel & Tourism industry, like there is certificate programes offered by institutes like YMCA and then there are also degree programmes like BBA in hospitality travel and tourism. If you are looking forward to do Travel and tourism related studies, then i would always suggest you to take up the degree course that is BBA in hospitality travel and tourism rather than the certificate programe. The certificate is just a mere training, but the Degree course will give you an indepth knowledge and better understanding plus the degree applicants for a job is always given the top priority and position. I would suggest you to go for a BBA in hospitality tours and travel from good institutions like UTM, Asian academy of FIlm television, YMCA as these colleges have very good placement and courses.All the best

Hi Swami,
The requirement of certificates/degree or qualification of any sort entirely depends on the profile & industry that you wish to pursue.
The basic eligibility in the tourism industry at large is at least a graduation in any field.
In some cases one needs to have some qualification to be able to fulfill one' job responsibilities and increase chances of selection such as:
-Reservation Agent-needs qualification with knowledge of software
-Chef- needs qualification with knowledge of various kitchen procedures & cooking method etc

To start your career in travel and tourism industry, you have to do some certificate or degree course like BBA in hospitality, travel and tourism. TO be eligible for that you need to have these qulaifications: Class 10+2 examination with at least 50% marks. You could also opt for a diploma,
For Diploma –Class 10th pass from a recognized board with minimum 40% marks. I would suggest you to go for Bachelors ddegree rather than diploma like BBA in hospitality travel and tourism.

Hi Sneha,
As mentioned in other answers here , Quality matters not quantity also it depends on what your target is (What exactly do you mean by 'crack IIT')
Also in class 11th the topics are not totally formula based so understanding concepts is important .The time is directly proportional on the extent of grasping ability .But the topics of class 11th have a relatively lower weightage so no one is expecting anything more than 4-5 hours from you . But still you should take advice from your teachers on this as their teaching methods will also affect the effort you need to put in 'self study'

Hi Sneha,
Computer Science is applied mathematics. You cannot understand functional programming with out having an idea about Lambda Calculus. If you genuinely like technology, there is no reason why you hate Mathematics, may be you are not taught well, may be you are just holding yourselves back for no reason, I will suggest you to reconsider your fear/hatred towards it.
Find a course called "Introduction to Mathematical Thinking" on Coursera
and finish it, many claim that it makes them love Math after that, may be you are one of those, give it a shot.

Hi Sneha,
Tough is a relative word. Anything that is interesting should not be tough. So if you have interest in science then just go for it. Otherwise look for a stream that you find more interesting. These subjects are really very interesting. You just have to manage your studies and be persistent with your assignments.
I will suggest you to read and prepare the subject matter from the standard books(not from any institute notes/senior notes), which will help you to gain deeper understanding on it. Take time to absorb and grasp the topics. You may take external help from teachers, seniors, friends to clear your doubts.

Hi Sneha,
It's unfortunate that you have not cleared your 12th grade and have failed.
There are various career options available these days. However, I would recommend that you first do away with your compartment exams / 12th grade exams as it is very crucial for moving ahead towards acquiring a good course and enhance your studies.
In order to get past a reputed college and a feasible course, ensure that you crack these exams to the best of your capability.
The mantra to success is dedication, commitment and determination. Stay focused and work hard towards goal attainment. You will certainly reap results, remember hard work always pays off. Don't underestimate your potential, you are worth a thousand sparrows. Don't let your fear demotivate you or derail you from your future aspirations.
