- IILM University partners with Dusit Hospitality Education Thailand to launch a global-standard BBA (Hons) in Hospitality and Services Management.
- Program offers dual degrees, international faculty, and cross-border learning with study options in India and Thailand.
- Aimed at grooming luxury hospitality leaders, the course blends academic rigor with real-world hotel experience and global mobility.
In a step set to redefine the hospitality education landscape in India, IILM University has announced a historic tie-up with Dusit Hospitality Education Thailand, the educational arm of the iconic Southeast Asian hospitality empire, Dusit International. This strategic tie-up launches a new BBA (Hons) in Hospitality and Services Management, delivering global-standard education, global internships, and cross-border mobility of students all the way from IILM's own campus in Delhi NCR.
Through a Memorandum of Understanding between IILM University and Dusit Thani College, Bangkok, the program provides students with access to a curriculum jointly developed by industry experts, international faculty experience, and real-time experience in hotel operations. The collaboration is intended to deliver a luxury hospitality education experience combining academic excellence with experiential learning in actual hotel environments under the mentorship of experienced professionals.
Students will have the opportunity to study some of their education in India and finish the last two years in Thailand, with a globally acclaimed dual degree. They will also enjoy semester exchanges and short visits abroad aimed at developing cultural awareness and operational competence in hospitality industries in Asia and the Middle East.

Mr. Nakul Anand, Guide and Mentor at the School of Hospitality and Service Management, IILM University, characterized the partnership as a step towards changing the way hospitality professionals are groomed globally, in India. He emphasized that the program is not just classroom-based but actually being part of the luxury hospitality business in action.
Dusit Thani College, an innovative leader in hospitality and culinary studies in Asia, applies decades of experience in grooming students for top-level positions in international hotel groups and service industries.
As India becomes one of the fastest-growing travel and hospitality markets, this partnership comes at a timely moment. It obviates the necessity for students to travel abroad to gain top-notch hospitality education but now makes it available in India while still providing an international platform. Applications for the 2025 intake are now being accepted at IILM University, with limited seats for hospitality leaders-in-the-making wanting to start their international careers from Delhi NCR.
