Hello Swati, However the best part of this industry is that there are many opportunities that allow you to work as per your comfort zone. Keeping in mind the kitchen, there are many chefs hence you may opt for the bakery & confectionery, salads or even garnish sections as these do not involve non veg. Otherwise in case you are willing to cook non veg food, it is not so necessary for vegetarian students to taste what they have made. It will be suffice if they are willing to cook non-vegetarian dishes. I can tell you one fact of one of the best schools of hospitality and catering technology in India that they have India's other words first vegetarian Domino's restaurant on their campus. It's LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY, JALANDHAR, PUNJAB. They offer versatility in their courses of hospitality and catering technology. Multi storey word class kitchen infrastructure and lavishing hotel inside the campus for the daily practice of there students. Totally vegetarian restaurant where students practice to cook only a vegetarian cuisine. At LPU these courses are meant for students who are looking for specialised hospitality degree with global recognition that can lead to the leadership. Although, this year LPU has relaxed their eligibility where they have exempted the candidates from LPU NEST exam. Those who are willing to take admission in the university, can take a direct admission now without qualifying entrance exam conducted by the University still a candidate must have at least 50% aggregate marks in the 12th class and English must be studied as a subject. Best thing of the LPU is that they very good Industry Tie-ups which results in usual guest lectures by an Industry Experts. Students work on various Projects in collaboration with Industry. LPU provides an internships to engage deeply in hands on real-life situations. If you are studying at LPU placements are not at all a problem because they says that "we provide 100% placements to all the eligible candidates or placements aspiring candidates. Online Admissions are already open, one can search their website. Hope this will help you.
