Yes, you are eligible to get directly admitted into IndianIHM Kolkata, as 2025 admissions at IIHM are merit-based. No entrance test is required. You will be selected on your Class 10, Class 12, or graduation marks depending on the programme you wish to apply for. Once you clear the eligibility norms, you are required to apply for the admission process, face document verification, and pay course fee to solidify your place in the institute.

Whether you can join IIHM Kolkata directly depends on what you mean by "directly." Here are the two main possibilities:

1. Direct Admission without entrance exam:

Unfortunately, direct admission without taking the IIHM Aptitude Test (IIHM-AT) is not typically possible for the Bachelor of Hotel Administration (BHA) programme at IIHM Kolkata. The IIHM-AT score plays a significant role in the selection process, alongside your WBCHSE marks and any additional assessments.

However, there might be limited exceptions in specific situations, such as:

International students: International applicants might be considered for direct admission base

Whether you can join IIHM Kolkata directly depends on what you mean by "directly." Here are the two main possibilities:

1. Direct Admission without entrance exam:

However, there might be limited exceptions in specific situations, such as:

International students: International applicants might be considered for direct admission based on their academic qualifications and standardized test scores (e.g., SAT, ACT) in some cases.
Transfer students: Students transferring from other accredited hospitality programs with excellent academic records might be eligible for direct admission after a thorough evaluation.
Exceptional achievements: If you have demonstrably exceptional achievements in relevant fields like sports, music, or entrepreneurship, IIHM might consider offering direct admission after reviewing your portfolio and potential contribution to the institute.

It's crucial to remember that these exceptions are rare and subject to IIHM's discretion. The most guaranteed path to joining the BHA programme at IIHM Kolkata is to apply through the regular process, which involves meeting the eligibility criteria, taking the IIHM-AT, and following the standard selection procedure.

2. Joining a shorter course or Diploma program:

If you're looking for a quicker way to enter the hospitality industry, IIHM Kolkata offers various shorter courses and Diploma programs in specialised areas like food production, bakery & confectionery, hotel operations, and event management. These programs might involve direct admission based on your academic qualifications and an interview or written test.

Therefore, your ability to join IIHM Kolkata directly depends on your specific situation and the programme you're interested in. I recommend contacting the IIHM Kolkata admissions office directly to explore your options and obtain accurate information about eligibility and application procedures for both the BHA programme and any shorter courses that might interest you.
