CAI - OFTEN INTIMIDATED NEVER EQUALLED

Student Snaps:

The fee structure is around 1,75,000 rupees for the first year, 1,55,000 rupees for the second year and 1,75,000 rupees for the third year. Scholarships are provided subject to osmania university regulations ( education regulatory board of Telangana). internship opportunities are provided almost to everyone in this college at international hotels, as a part of industrial training where students are exposed to the hospitality industry

College which turns your dream to reality

The Fee is ok when compared to the other hotel management colleges, the fee for the Bachelor degree is 150000 per year which includes Tution fee, uniforms, working lunch, journals, knife kits, etc, apart from this we have to pay the examination fee seperately which is prescribed by the univeristy, in the IV semester we have to undergo industrial training in the hotels.

LIFE TIME EXPERIENCE AT CAI.

3 yr bachelors degree the fee is comparatively very less from other top colleges in the country, not that they compromise on the quality, also i strongly say that they are on par or even a better in this regard. it may differ from year to year but is affordable for many. there is no scholarship grants available, for more information you can contact the college between 9 am to 5 pm for any assistance or queries. bachelors degree consists of 6 semesters, 2 per year. after 3 semester 4 months of internships in start hotel all across India in a must and is considered as a semester in itself. choice of city is left for students and the faculty is also there to guide you to find the best hotel property. after a successful interview you can go join the internship. the stipend is decided and notified by the hotel you have got selected for. campus interview for job placements will happen throughout 5th and 6th semester. hotel brands visit the college for the onsite campus placements.
