Dear Darshan Mohitkar, B.Sc. In Hotel Management provides an overview of Hotel management and does not focus on specialised courses, It's more technical and impacts on fundamentals of hotel management. BHM is more focused on management aspects and operations conducted in hotel management. I am an alumnus of LPU and completed my MBA programme there. One of my friend's brother is also studying there in Bachelor of Hotel Management and Catering Technology BHMCT ) Let me share few points about the Hotel Management programme at LPU : Curriculum: High academic standards are maintained by offering the curriculum framed in consultation with industry experts. Student exposure: Being a part of a resource-rich University, the students have an advantage of interdisciplinary exposure which is not possible in standalone colleges. University-Hotel: The School also trains its students in the campus hotel named UniHotel of 25 rooms hosting national and international guests where students practice along with the staff. Infrastructure: The School has five modern kitchens with two bakeries. All kitchen and bakery are equipped to enable a student to perform scientifically and to attain their best of learning through most modern gazettes. We have few training restaurants to teach a student about the authentic serving style of food and beverage. We are equipped with one front office laboratory, two housekeeping laboratories, two computer laboratories with 60 computers, and a simulation laboratory for aviation. Placement: Good placements record with minimum 10% students selected as Management Trainee (Junior Executive level) till date and the placement is with brands like Cox & Kings, Carnival Cruise, JET Airways, Oberoi, Taj, Leela, etc. Package: Six students were offered the package of Rs 8 Lacs by Carnival Cruise in last years. Internship: Industry internships in top national and international five-star hotel brands like The Leela Palace, ITC, Taj, Oberoi, The Grand, Marriott, etc. Intellectual Strength: Faculty members with a holistic blend of academic & industrial exposure. Immersive Mentor-ship Model: Experienced faculty members of the discipline nominated as mentors to eligible students. I hope this helps Thanks.

As university possess a hotel which not only give practical exposure but also the real time ELIGIBILITY :Pass with 50% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with English or equivalent. For a candidate, who has not studied English as a subject, the condition of English may be waived off provided the candidate in his qualifying exam has studied in English medium.

The university is having tie-ups with many foreign universities and reputed companies thus facilitating higher amenities to its students. Nonetheless, in each semester LPU gives Professional Enhancement Programmes (PEP) in which the students are prepared to crack the placement processes like Analytical Skills (Logic Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning), Quantitative Aptitude Skills, Technical Aptitude Skills, Presentations and Soft Skills and Mock Exercises (Mock Interviews, GDs, Mock Tests, etc. ) The latest salary package was around 9 to 10 Lacs despite Pandemic. Some of the best brands like Ritz Carlton Florida (USA), Hyatt Regency Miami (USA) have selected our students with packages up to Rs 25 Lacs. Leading national brands like Oberoi, The Grand, Air Vistara etc. Visited our campus for recruitments. Hyatt Regency Miami USA and Great Wolf Lodge Wisconsin selected 6 students at the package of 15 Lacs Per Annum. I hope this would be sufficient!

Hotel management is traditional graduation, not a full-fledged hotel management course. It is the part of B.Sc. Programme. But, BHM is a full-fledged course and it is specially designed for hotel management. Of course, BHM has a better scope as after doing it you can work in the service industry, tourism sector, and even airlines. I must suggest that LPU School of Hotel Management and Tourism, which is among India's best Hotel Management and Tourism colleges that groom students through an industry-endorsed curriculum and intensive service-oriented practicals with industry exposure in excellent infrastructure. Students are surrounded by peers from 70+ countries giving them an international edge.

Hi Darshan, first of all I personally really admire your thoughts of selecting the most promising course as per recent market trend. Difference between 2 courses (B.Sc. HM and BHMCT) is mainly lies on below mentioned parameters, 1)Duration of the course 2)Course Content 3)Pedagogy Subjects 4)Future Scope of Placement 5)Global Acceptance Bachelor of Hotel Management and Catering Technology ( BHMCT)is also an undergraduate course offered for a duration of four years in every hotel management college across India. While B.Sc. in Hotel Management deals more with theory aspects, BHMCT course on the other hand deals with both practical as well as theory subjects. As part of this course students are offered industrial training in spheres such as food and beverage service, food production, front desk operations and housekeeping. Many colleges that offer BHMCT courses make it mandatory for students to undergo industrial training of 20 weeks. In my Opinion Lovely Professional University will be the best option for you for pursuing Hotel Management course. There are several reasons behind that like, Extremely equipped with modern technologies, the latest trends, enriched and expert intellectuals, exquisitely designed curriculum and pedagogy to train student all leads to create perfect industry ready professionals for future. Last Year Placement Record: 15.7 LPA is the highest Salary package of the batch by MNC named Bravo Hospitality, Australia, 12 LPA is the another salary package by Hyatt Regency, USA. 3.6 LPA is the average Salary package. Also additional benefits like meals, stay, tips, etc. are also there in this profile. 90% placements record and the placement is with brands like Accor Group of Hotels, ITC Maratha, AISATS (airport Management), Oberoi, St. Regis, Shangri-la, Thomas Cook, Travel Triangle, Radisson chain of hotels, etc. There are many more things to explore regarding Hotel Management course of LPU. Please follow my next course for details. All the Best.
