The Department of Tourism Studies of the Pondicherry University offers an MBA in Tourism & Travel Management. It is one of the rarest courses in India and the course here is actually pretty good. 

  • You will have a Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) where you can choose certain “Soft core” subjects offered by the department apart from the “Hard core” subjects which are compulsory for the course completion.
  • There are mid semester, end semester as well as internal assessment exams. 
  • A 40:60 ratio weightage is given to the mid-semester and internal assessment exam to the end semester exam. 
  • You need to achieve at least 40% in the end semester and 50% on aggregate to pass the subject.
  • The department organizes two tours each year; a 5-7 day, Eco-tour and a 10-15 days national tour. 
  • Apart from that there are various field visits during your coursework as well. 
  • World Tourism Day is also celebrated with much flamboyance each year.

Overall I would say that it is a very good course with lots of practical knowledge and experience. The faculty are also knowledgeable and offer very good insights into the industry. The exposure and experience you will get here is really very nice.
