Students are required to attend regular classes, practical sessions, and field visits. There is no distance or online mode available for this programme. The course structure emphasises hands-on skill development, which makes physical attendance essential throughout the 3-year duration.

Ans. As per the official BGSBU department page, the annual fee for the B.Voc. programme is Rs. 5,000, making the total fee for the 3-year course Rs. 15,000. This is among the most affordable vocational degrees in the country. There are no major hidden charges mentioned officially; however, students may need to pay examination fees, library fees, and other miscellaneous charges separately each semester. Hostel charges are additional and optional.

Ans. BGSBU accepts CUET UG (General Test) scores for admission to the B.Voc. (Travel and Tourism Management) programme. However, if the number of applicants is less than or equal to the seat intake of 50, admission may be granted on the basis of merit in the qualifying examination (10+2) without requiring CUET scores. In cases where applications exceed the available seats, a university-level entrance test may also be conducted at the BGSBU campus. Students are advised to appear in CUET UG to strengthen their application.

Ans. Graduates of the B.Voc. (Travel and Tourism Management) programme can pursue careers in hotels, airlines, travel agencies, tour operators, event management companies, and government tourism departments. BGSBU has placement tie-ups with reputed brands such as Radisson, Accor, The Lalit, Taj, Marriott, Khyber Resorts and Spa, MakeMyTrip, Thomas Cook, and Cox and Kings.

The J&K region's growing tourism sector also offers significant local employment opportunities.

Ans. Yes, one of the key advantages of the B.Voc. programme under the NSQF framework is the provision of multiple exit points. A student who completes Year 1 is awarded a Certificate, after Year 2 a Diploma, and after Year 3 the full B.Voc. Degree. Each exit qualification is recognised under the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) and has value in the job market. This flexibility makes the programme suitable for students who may need to enter the workforce earlier due to personal or financial reasons.
