    Hi Savio, For this field, BHMCT will be the right programme! Even more importantly the choice of college matter !

    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
