In Nepal, completing your Plus Two is a proud milestone. 

But what comes next? For many students, this stage brings both excitement and uncertainty. 

You’re now preparing to step into college life—a journey filled with new opportunities, challenges, and responsibilities. 

Whether you're dreaming of a career in hospitality through BHM (Bachelor in Hotel Management) or stepping into the world of IT and management with BIM (Bachelor in Information Management), your college years are where your professional story truly begins.

At Aarambha College, we understand that this transition is more than just academic. 

It’s about discovering your strengths, building your skills, and preparing for real-world success. 

This article is here to guide you—whether you're just joining college or are already a student—on how to make the most of your time here and grow from a Plus Two graduate to a confident, career-ready pro.

Let’s explore how to map your college journey the right way.

1. Choose the Right Course – Discover What Truly Fits You

One of the most important decisions you’ll make after completing your Plus Two is choosing the right college program. 

This choice lays the foundation for your career, your personal growth, and your future opportunities.

At Aarambha College, we offer two of Nepal’s most sought-after professional degrees: BHM (Bachelor in Hotel Management) and BIM (Bachelor in Information Management)—both designed to equip students with the skills and experience needed in today’s competitive job market.

If you’re passionate about hospitality, discover why Aarambha is the preferred destination for BHM education.

This course goes far beyond textbooks—it includes hands-on training in food production, housekeeping, front office operations, and hospitality management. 

Graduates from BHM often find jobs in top hotels, luxury resorts, airlines, cruise ships, and event companies. 

Many even go on to open their own restaurants, cafes, or travel businesses.

On the other hand, if you're more interested in technology and business, learn why BIM is the key to a successful IT career.

With subjects ranging from programming and database management to accounting and business communication, BIM graduates are well-prepared for roles in tech firms, startups, banks, multinational companies, and even entrepreneurship. 

With the rise of the digital economy in Nepal and globally, BIM opens the door to careers in software development, digital marketing, data analysis, web design, and much more.

This is your journey—make a choice that aligns with your interests, talents, and long-term goals. 

Don’t pick a course just because your friends are doing it or it sounds trendy. 

Think about the kind of work you want to do, the lifestyle you imagine, and where you see yourself in the next 5 to 10 years. 

The right course will feel exciting, challenging, and full of possibilities.

2. Embrace College Life – Be Active, Be Curious, Be Involved

College is much more than just attending lectures and passing exams—it's a time to explore, express, and evolve. 

At Aarambha College, your classroom is only the beginning. 

See what life is like as a BIM student at Aarambha, where involvement in clubs, committees, and events helps shape confident, capable graduates.

Whether it’s hosting an inter-college event, volunteering in a college fest, or participating in student forums, these experiences shape your personality and boost your confidence.

Take part in seminars, workshops, and inter-college competitions—these platforms help you sharpen your knowledge, present your ideas, and build a solid professional presence. 

Aarambha College regularly hosts such activities tailored to both BHM and BIM students, offering practical exposure in real-world scenarios.

• BHM students can join hospitality simulations, culinary contests, and event planning workshops.
   
• BIM students can attend tech meets, coding challenges, and digital innovation talks.

Also, never miss out on guest lectures and interaction sessions. 

These events connect you with industry experts, alumni, and professionals who can offer insights into career trends, job markets, and real-life work experiences.

Don’t sit on the sidelines—step up, speak out, and show up! Even a small interaction or event could become a turning point in your journey, opening doors to internships, mentorships, or future job offers.

3. Focus on Skill Development – Go Beyond the Syllabus

Your degree is important, but real success comes from the skills you build along the way. 

In today’s job market, employers look for more than just academic results—they want problem-solvers, innovators, and professionals who can adapt and perform.

At Aarambha College, both BHM and BIM programs are designed to include practical training and real-world skill development, not just textbook theory.

For BHM students, mastering the fundamentals of:

• Culinary arts (kitchen operations, food safety, recipe innovation),
   
• Front office management (guest handling, reservations, communication),
   
• Housekeeping and customer service skills are essential.

Our college hospitality training programs feature mock hotel setups, training kitchens, and service labs, giving students hands-on experience in hotel operations. 

Field visits, workshops with industry experts, and real-event planning sessions help students prepare for roles in top hotels, resorts, and travel companies.

For BIM students, building solid technical and managerial skills is key. This includes:

• Programming languages like Python, Java, or C++,
   
• Database systems such as MySQL and Oracle,
   
• Digital tools including MS Excel, Google Workspace, Canva, Photoshop, and more.

You’ll have access to computer labs, guided projects, and opportunities to join tech clubs and hackathons. 

Plus, Aarambha encourages students to enroll in online learning platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning to explore new skills at their own pace.

Start small but stay consistent. Even learning one new software tool or coding language every semester can give you a major advantage when applying for internships or jobs. 

Build a portfolio of your work—it’s a powerful way to show what you’ve learned beyond grades.

4. Internships and Real-World Exposure – Learn by Doing

No matter how well you perform in exams, real-world experience is what truly prepares you for life after college. 

That’s where internships come in—they are your chance to apply what you’ve learned in class, understand how industries work, and start building your professional identity.

At Aarambha College, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to step into the real world before graduating. 

That’s why we maintain strong partnerships with leading businesses, hotels, tech companies, and startups across Nepal and beyond.

For BHM students, internships may include:

• Working in renowned hotels, resorts, or restaurants
   
• Participating in food festivals, event setups, or guest service operations
   
• Learning hotel management systems, kitchen coordination, and guest relations on-site

These experiences help students develop professionalism, hospitality etiquette, time management, and adaptability—skills that are crucial in the global hospitality industry.

For BIM students, internships offer exposure to:

• Software companies, tech startups, or digital marketing agencies
   
• Bank IT departments, MIS units, and system admin roles
   
• Real-time projects involving databases, web development, or data analytics

You’ll work alongside professionals, solve practical problems, and experience how team dynamics and project deadlines actually work in a business environment.

Don’t take internships as “just part of the course”—treat them like your first real job. 

Arrive on time, be curious, take notes, and ask questions. 

Impress the people you work with—you never know who might refer you for your next job or recommend you for future opportunities!

5. Build Your Personal Brand – Start Early, Grow Smart

In today’s competitive job market, having a degree is just the starting point. 

What truly sets you apart is your personal brand—how you present yourself to the world, both online and offline. 

For inspiration, see how BHM graduates go from internships to leadership. 

Begin early by updating your CV, building a LinkedIn presence, and showcasing your projects through a digital portfolio.

Think of it as your professional identity. It reflects your skills, personality, values, and potential.

Whether you’re in BHM or BIM, the sooner you start investing in yourself, the stronger your career foundation will be.

Here’s how you can start:

• Keep your CV updated with every new skill, internship, training, or achievement. It should reflect your growth semester by semester.
   
• Create a LinkedIn profile and stay active. Connect with your classmates, teachers, alumni, and industry professionals. Share your projects, articles, or learning milestones—it builds visibility.
   
• Build a digital portfolio if you’re into tech, design, content writing, or even event planning. For BIM students, showcase your coding projects, apps, or websites. For BHM students, share photos from events you’ve managed or dishes you’ve prepared.
   
• Work on communication skills—how you speak, write, and present yourself matters. Participate in college presentations, debates, or group discussions to build confidence.

Carry yourself like a future professional, not just a student. Dress neatly, speak confidently, and take responsibility for your image. 

Your personal brand will help you get noticed—during internship interviews, job applications, or even while networking at college events.
