Is there any difference between BHM & B.Sc in hotel management?

Hi, There is not much difference between BHM and B.Sc in Hospitality Management. Basically, all the central and State Government IHMs provide a degree of B.Sc, which is recognised by National Counsel of Hotel Management and Catering Technology and Indira Gandhi National Open University and the Colleges that are affiliated by other universities such as Mumbai University, DY Patlil University, Kolkata university etc. provide a BHM Degree. The core subjects always remain same whether it is a BHM or B.Sc. There might be some difference in language, PD or additional subjects which depends on the university.

Hello, Technically there is no difference. It is just a difference in "Nomenclature". Course content is almost same. Few subjects may vary from university to university, but essence of the course is same. Industry does not differentiate between BHM and B.Sc in HM, when it comes to placement.

Bachelors' (BA) in Hotel management is about the undergraduate course of 4 year duration, where you will be dealing with the operation and management of the hotel, mainly you won't be doing service, and you will be in the management section. B.Sc in Hotel Management: Three year program equips students with all the required skills, knowledge and attitude to efficiently discharge supervisory responsibilities in the hospitality sector and also involves in-depth laboratory work for students to acquire knowledge and skill standards in all areas such as the core department of a hotel related to Food Production, Food and Beverage Management and Catering operations, General Management, Tourism Marketing, Human Resource Management, and Finance. In this student will develop an overview of Hotel administration, its environment, and management with essential skills and tools necessary for running a hotel successfully.

B.Sc in hospitality and hotel administration is generally offered by Central Govt. IHMs and other institutes affiliated to NCHMCT offer courses of 3-years duration, while BHM is mostly offered by private institutes affiliated to state universities and is of 4-years duration. Apart from this, there is no such major difference as both the degrees are equally recognised by industry and for other purposes.

BHM is generally an AICTE approved degree which is a 4 year course, while B.Sc in HM is a 3 year course. The terminology difference is only with the AICTE approval. But, the core subjects in both the courses are same and more over the industry does not bother to check whether the student has done BHM or B.Sc. If the student is smart enough, he/she may grab a good job form any of the above mentioned courses. But, as far as I have noticed, no university offer B.Sc in Hotel Management, instead they are offering B.Sc in Hospitality management (again AICTE is the key factor here).

Basically, there is no major difference between BHM and B.Sc in any university. The student gets benefit in the future, because this certificate helps the student to move any BHM related stream of jobs and at the same time, students can choose the streams in B.Sc, once they are done with the study. Finally, it is good to have a certificate with dual courses for the better career.
