InterGlobe Technology Quotient (ITQ), a strategic business unit of InterGlobe Enterprises and the official distributor of Travelport in India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and in five markets across the Asia Pacific region, had organised the 3rd edition of ‘Student of the Year’ contest. It was aimed at creating talent for the travel industry and encouraging academy students to reach standards of high excellence in the Travel and Tourism space.
Held at Hotel Ibis at Aerocity on April 19, 2016, the final round of the contest decided the winner amongst the top five finalists. The process of selection started on January 2016 when an online questionnaire was shared with the students. As many as 100 students from prestigious institutions pan-India had participated and submitted their entry online. Selected candidates of the first round were further evaluated thus permitting the panel of experts to shortlist the top five students for the final round.
Each of the five finalists had to do a presentation and undergo a Personal Interactive session with the respected panel of judges, after which one student finally claimed the ‘Student of the Year 2016’ title. This event was planned to benefit the students eager to pursue a career in travel and tourism sector with their presentation skills and depth of industry knowledge.
Sandeep Dwivedi, Chief Commercial Officer, ITQ said, “Student of the Year Contest was a brainchild of eminent travel industry professionals who thought that young and able minds should get a chance to demonstrate their ability and knowledge and get recognised for the same. Student of the Year is a platform doing just that and we hope to continue bringing bright young minds to the forefront in the years to come.”
