Most UGD programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means front office, food production, housekeeping and hospitality management, with industrial training. Typical first jobs: hotel operations, food and beverage or hospitality management roles.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Sabarmati University for the current semester-wise plan.
