Looking back at life during my Munnar Catering College days

The course curriculum is designed to help us understand the details, the etiquette and the requirements of the field. With visits and internships incorporated, the course leaves students ready for future jobs.

Some of the top hotels recruit from Munnar Catering College. Some of these are Vasundhara Sarovar Premiere Vayalar, Uday Samudra Kovalam, Trident Gurgaon, The Oberoi Mumbai, Tea County Munnar, Taj Gateway Cochin, Sterling Thekkady, Radisson Blu Chennai and Leela Palace Delhi. Internships being an important part of the curriculum, are provided so that the students can gain real-world experience.

The course fee is 75000 per academic year for the three year diploma, and additionally, 96,000 per academic year for hostel fees. It is overall very much affordable and feasible for a majority of prospective students.

Sports such as badminton, basketball and volleybal are played inside the campus. Yoga, meditation and martial arts are also popular amongst the students. The atmosphere of the campus is very nice, being located in the beaitiful Munnar. There is no ragging on the campus due to strict restrictions. There is a green energy team and an Oxford English Club for more activities.

Hostels are compulsory as it is a 100% residential campus. The hostel facilities are good. Mess, canteen, wi-fi facilities are all available, and there are a lot of activities to do insid ethe campus, from sports to meditation.

Relationship with the seniors is very good. Every new student is mentored and supported by two senior students and a faculty member as part of the buddy program. This builds a healthy relationship with the senior, which continues throughout.

Selection for the diploma course is solely on the basis of 10+2 marks. Application can be made either online or physically. I wanted to study Hotel management and I chose MCC because of its great reputation.

The faculty members are understanding and helpful. They guide us through the details of the course, watching over us as we hone our skills and prepare. Their experience rubs off on us, and their words have been helpful in navigating the real world.
