The demand of trained manpower leaves enough scope for delivery of quality trained manpower by the institutes set up in private sector. It has therefore become necessary that existing private institutions imparting hospitality education and training assume a significant role in meeting the expanding demand for quality trained personnel. In this context, participation of educational institutes in the private sector through scheme of affiliation with NCHMCT has been launched to bridge gap between demand and supply of quality professionals to the expanding Industry. Existing hospitality programs ranging from Certificate level to Degree level offered by National Council for Hotel Management has enabled candidates from private institutes qualify for a proficiency that is in line with the quality of students turned out by the best of affiliated Institutes in the government sector. The scheme of affiliation launched in year 2006 culminated in affiliation of 4 private Institutes. Subsequently, Council invited applications from private Institutes and affiliated 10 more Institutes of Hotel Management in private sector. As on date, total 14 private Institutes are affiliated to this Council. Original scheme of affiliation has been revised in present form which brings out clarity in requirements and assessment thereof by experts Committee in a transparent manner.
