    Hi Savio,
    Go for B.Sc in Hotel Management. Eligibility criteria to get a seat in B.Sc in Hotel Management is Pass with 50% aggregate marks in 10+2 (Any Stream with English) or equivalent, subject to valid score in Entrance exam. There are some institutes, which do not conduct any entrance test and give admission on the basis of percentage in class 12th. I am suggesting some good colleges for doing this course. The colleges are:Institute of Hotel Management ( IHMs)
    Institute of Hotel Management, Catering & Nutrition, Pusa
    Indian Institute of Hotel Management (IIMS)
    Institute of Hotel Management Catering & Nutrition

Absolutely! Having a humanities background is no barrier to pursuing Fine Arts at Chandigarh University.

The programme welcomes students from all streams, including humanities, as long as they meet the minimum requirement of 50% marks in their 12th exams. Many humanities students find the programme a natural extension of their academic interests, as the curriculum often connects with cultural, historical, and social themes. For example, a student who studied history might bring unique perspectives into courses like painting or applied arts.

The university values creativity and passion over specific subjects studied in school.
