It has always been true that students shall flock to institutes that offer job oriented courses. If the students are confident of finding suitable jobs, then their parents would be eager enough to send their children to institutes that train for such jobs. This has become a norm even if the subjects are not in the proven main course of career choices.

Few years back, giggles would have greeted the proposal of sending one’s ward to the hotel management colleges to study courses that cater to hospitality sector.
