These students who go for industrial exposure training need to be handled in a different manner and not to be treated as a regular staff and given tasks accordingly. The study is conducted using primary research with 120 students of various hospitality institutions who underwent industrial exposure training in various 5 star hotels in India. Standard questionnaires were issued to students and data obtained. Three hypothesis were framed and data tested using statistical tools like SPSS and Smart PLS.

Industry and Institution need to collaborate with each other so that both sides are benefitted and hoteliers should also take guest lecture for students and students should also be invited to hotels for any competitions and other activities apart from training.
