What is the eligibility criteria for BSc at D Y Patil School of Hospitality and Tourism Studies?

Hi.

Yes, internships in hotels, resorts, travel companies, and other hospitality/tourism workplaces are part of the AAFT School of Hospitality & Tourism programs, but it's important to understand how they're structured, and what is / isn't guaranteed 

Are Internships Part of the Course?

Yes — internships and practical training are built into the curriculum.

• For degree programs like Bachelor of Hotel Management (BHM) and Bachelor of Tourism & Travel Management (BTTM), students undergo industry internships during their studies. Practical exposure is included as an essential element of learning and training. 

• Many courses also include multiple internships — for example, one in a mid‑semester and another in the final semester. 

What Types of Internships / Training Are Provided

Students get opportunities to intern in:

• Hotels & resorts

• Travel agencies & tour operators

• Airlines and airport services

• Cruise lines

• Event planning and MICE companies
  — depending on the specific course (hotel management, travel & tourism, etc.). 

These internships are meant to provide hands‑on industry exposure so students can apply classroom learning in real workplace environments.

Is It Guaranteed?

🔹 Internships are integrated into the programme — i.e., students are expected to complete them as part of the curriculum structure.
🔹 However, like most hospitality programs, the exact internship placement isn't “guaranteed with a fixed job role or stipend” in advance. What you get depends on:
Industry demand at the time of internship
Your performance, communication, and skills
Partnerships the school has with specific companies that year

So the internship experience is part of your course requirements, but the company, exact role, and whether it's paid/unpaid depends on agreements and industry availability — this is standard across hospitality schools.
