Admission Criteria:

Minimum Qualification: You should have passed 10+2 or equivalent examinations with English as a compulsory subject.
E-Chat Entrance Exam: All applicants need to qualify for the E-Chat (Electronic Common Hospitality Admission Test). This online exam assesses basic knowledge in English, Mathematics, and General Knowledge.
Program-Specific Requirements: While the E-Chat acts as a screening mechanism, some programs may have additional requirements like:
- B.A. in Hospitality Management: Requires good scores in 10+2 boards, followed by a Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).
- Diploma Programs: Selection might solely depend on the E-Chat score and subsequent online interview performance.

Factors Affecting Difficulty:

Competition: IIHM Kolkata attracts a large applicant pool due to its reputation and industry connections. This can make securing a seat, especially in sought-after programs, more challenging.
E-Chat Performance: Scoring well in the E-Chat exam is crucial for progressing to the next stages of the admission process.
For programs with GD & PI: Strong communication, interpersonal skills, and a genuine interest in the hospitality field are crucial factors assessed during the Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

Strategies to Enhance your Chances:

Thorough Preparation: Dedicating adequate time to studying for the E-Chat exam, researching the hospitality industry, and practicing your communication skills can significantly improve your prospects.
Meeting Program-Specific Requirements: Ensure you fulfill the additional eligibility criteria for specific programs, such as appearing for the GD & PI if applicable.

While gaining admission requires effort and preparation, it's not impossible. Focusing on performing well in the E-Chat, showcasing your potential during interviews (if applicable), and demonstrating a genuine interest in the hospitality sector can strengthen your application.
