the students to choose the right career," he said.

Marketing and Hospitality management.

Representative of the Down Town University in Guwahati, Karabi Saikia, said that the response from the students was good.

"In this fair basically students are looking for B. Tech and some medical courses and response is very good," said Saikia. Edna Noronha from Institute of International Hospitality Education in

"We did a market survey and we found that northeast has a good potential market for hospitality management. We got to understand from the survey that lots of students from Northeast are interested in

pursuing hospitality as a career course," Noronha said.
