The First Among The Best

The tranquil town of Manipal, in southern Karnataka, has come to be known as the ‘university town’ or ‘campus town’ by locals. Students from all over the world flock to Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) to pursue their higher studies. In over 60 years since its inception, MAHE graduates have been championing every field, from medicine to management. So, when a student joins Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration (WGSHA), MAHE—the birthplace of India’s first degree in hotel management—naturally, they expect the best.

A collaboration between MAHE and ITC’s Welcomgroup has made sure these young men and women get what they come for, and more. At the end of their time at the flagship Bachelor of Hotel Management (BHM) programme which was offered as early as 1986, students walk away with a degree from MAHE, an Advanced Diploma Skills Certification from City & Guild, Wine Fundamental Certificate Level 1 & 2, and MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). They are ready to become leaders in the hospitality sector across the globe.

WGSHA has consistently been ranked among the top two hotel management institutes in India, and recently bagged the 30th rank in the world in a listing by CEOWorld Magazine.

Interactive learning environment

“The best part about being in a college like WGSHA is that you get to learn all the necessary skills required for the hospitality sector while being part of a university environment. Every day poses a new challenge, whether it be hosting hoteliers who have come for campus placements or conducting a food festival with over 300 attendees,” says Mohini Mohandas, final year BHM student.
