Yes, all airlines domestic or international have their individual training centers. Primarily these centers are used for training the new recruitment in cabin crew.The other departments such as reservation, ground staff etc generally have their on desk training.
The training centers are required top introduce the cabin crew to the anatomy of aircraft, process of airlines, inform them of airline facility, brief them about safety procedure, train them on First aid and also brief them on the additional duties on board such as inflight shopping facilities etc.
Some airline centers have mock airbuses to give their crew the 'touch & feel' of what to expect when on board.

Yes, you can get direct admission in Hotel Management without appearing for any entrance exam. Some colleges offer direct admissions on the basis of your performance in the qualifying examination. It depends on the specific institution and programme you are applying to. Some universities and colleges may offer admission to a degree in Hospitality Management (HM) programme without requiring an entrance exam, while others may require it as part of their admission process. In general, many universities and colleges consider a combination of factors when evaluating applications, including academic records, work experience, and other qualifications. Some institutions may also require applicants to submit an essay, personal statement, or letters of recommendation in addition to their academic transcripts. Therefore, I would recommend checking the admission requirements of the particular programme and institution you are interested in and contacting their admissions office to confirm whether an entrance exam is required or not.

Hi Bhoomi,
Online education in Hotel Management is possible and they are institutes providing such courses:
-Madurai University
-Annamalai Univ
-YCMOU
-IGNOU
Although institutes have this as an option but then the value of such courses is doubtful as the HM course is a practical oriented course.The entire syllabus of Degree in Hotel management involves multiple practicals which in turn facilitates your placements.
I would suggest you to opt for the course in hospitality through the regular mode.
There are a few good institutes and to know about these, you may refer to the following link:

Graphic Design is the field. Design is a generic word covering all fields of design. Design is a field that is age old & has been evolving every year like science. The world has changed a lot and a lot of new & wonderful careers in design have come up. Sometimes student Artists are too much enamoured by Fine Arts preventing them to look objectively at Design. They must read this http://bit.ly/SXc9GD. Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge. For e.g. science students do better if they go for CS or IT since that are areas where development is taking place rapidly. Similarly in Design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D Printing, Immersive Technology, Augmented Reality, 3D Projection etc, besides of course Game Design & Animation. Of course at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing (usually reserved for writers and visionaries) - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, & of course Game Studios. At this stage, you may want to understand the creative world & the careers it offers. Interiors, textile as well as Web Design rely on the same skills - your layout skills & color sense. Journalism also is at this level and relies on your language skills & knowledge of history and current affairs. A little higher perches Graphic Design, Fashion Design, jewellery design, Acting, & Fine Arts which rely on one of your artistic skills - sketching & imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as Motion Graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills - Cinematographic skills & imagination. Then come careers like Animation, Film Making, Game Design which rely on multiple talents like your authority over sketching, acting, direction, voice, sound, writing, storytelling & problem solving skills etc. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world & hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers.

Yash, Graphic Design and Web Design are different in respect of application domain. In web we do the design based on the constraints of the medium of internet. Here print and paper considerations do not matter but the constraints of device dimensions and resoltuon come in.

Hi Yash,
Landscape design is a process of developing practical and pleasing outdoor living space. It is an independent profession which combines nature and culture. Most landscape designers/architects hold at least a bachelor's degree in the field. At times they are require to be licensed, which requires passing the Landscape Architect Registration Exam. Landscape designer's job duties vary by industry, but drawing plans, selecting plants and installing structures like walkways and water features are important tasks in most landscape jobs.
