Message From The Director & Chairman

With immense pleasure we warmly welcome you to Munnar Catering College (MCC), the largest Hospitality Management Institute of its kind in India, assuring you a highly enriching and rewarding journey with us.

The Hospitality Industry is ranked as the largest employer in the world offering a broad variety of employment opportunities in many different sectors. The Hospitality business continuously demands new services, new ways of presenting existing services and new ideas for enhancing the experience of their demanding clientele. It is in view of this and on the basis of the ever increasing demand for qualified professionals in the industry that MCC was established by Thachankary Foundation, a Trust governed by the Indian Trust act 1882. The college is the first self-financing catering college in the state approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Government of India; and the Directorate of Technical Education, Government of Kerala. MCC is also affiliated to the National Council for Hotel Management & Catering Technology (NCHMCT), Ministry of Tourism, Government of India.

By offering training in international hotels abroad as part of the course, MCC aims at creating qualified professionals in a globalized context. In view of the technological growth and development at the national and international level, the college has introduced many new facilities in the campus for operational efficiency and convenience. All students are provided with a co-branded International Debit Card in association with SIB and Master Card. An ATM Machine has been installed inside the campus itself, giving our students the unique convenience of withdrawing cash without having to go outside the college. Thus the 100% Wifi Campus of MCC has become the first 100% Cashless Campus among all the professional colleges in the state. The College has already been branded as a totally Alcohol Free, Tobacco Free and Ragging Free Campus.

Complementing these initiatives is the Achievers’ Guild, a long-standing and distinctive student recognition programme that reflects Munnar Catering College’s commitment to nurturing excellence in every aspect of student life. Every student is enrolled in the Guild and progresses through Silver, Gold, Diamond and Platinum categories based on clearly defined benchmarks of academic performance, professional competence, leadership, discipline, innovation, service, and overall development. Its highest recognition, the Munnar Catering College Achievers’ Trophy (MCAT) – Best Outgoing Student Award, is presented annually to the most outstanding graduating student. The award symbolises the institution’s highest standard of excellence and recognises graduates who exemplify the values and professionalism of Munnar Catering College.

Munnar Catering College’s international academic partnerships provide students with access to globally recognised higher education pathways, dual qualifications, and international career opportunities. Through academic collaborations with Royal Roads University, Canada; HTMi – Hotel and Tourism Management Institute, Switzerland and City of Glasgow College, Scotland, students benefit from internationally benchmarked education and seamless progression to higher studies and careers worldwide.

For our students, campus life is a period of transformation into responsible global citizens, making them capable of facing the future with resilience and optimism. Therefore graduates of MCC are highly sought after in the industry and the workplace, valued for their education, range of skills and professionalism.

With this introduction we wholeheartedly invite you to join hands with us, to strengthen your capabilities in order to achieve excellence beyond imagination.
