Hi Ezeekiel,
The first option is to do a course in Hotel Management or in Culinary Arts at a reputed professional institute.

Hi there Ezekiel,
Most reputed colleges that offer culinary education to train and become a chef require passing marks in your 12th in any discipline from a recognised board. There are institutions in cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore & Delhi that offer world-class culinary education today.
I would personally add that you need to have a real passion for cooking, the desire to learn and the willingness to work very hard if you want to become a thumping good chef.
All the best.

This dual-focus system allows students with strong 12th marks but no JEE score to secure admission, while rewarding JEE participants with merit a
