The lower the cutoff rank, the higher the chance of getting admission, and vice versa. 

Q:   Can I get admission in IHM Chennai for B.Sc with 60% in Class 12th?
A: 

It will be difficult to get general category B.Sc. admission at IHM Chennai with a 60% in the 12th grade. You can increase your chances by raising your NCHMCT JEE rank and profile. Students in the reserved group have higher chances.

In the past, general category students had to receive at least 65-70% in their 12th grade to be admitted to IHM Chennai's B.Sc. program.
The minimum 12th percentage for reserved groups, such as SC, ST, and OBC, is 45–50%. You can therefore apply if you receive a 60%, but admittance will be based on counseling merit.

I highly recommend IHM Chennai to those who are aspiring to be a hotelier.

Top brands Taj, Oberoi, and ITC come to recruit. 100% of students got internships in different companies. Top role offered in our course is a management trainee which allows us to cut short the journey of 5 years to 2 years.
Infrastructure: The college has free Wi-Fi with beautiful classrooms. We have a library as well so you need not buy books. Hostel life is the best. Everything is just way too perfect because there I met a lot of people and made friends. I learned how to survive with minimal resources.
Faculty: All the teachers are Ph.D. holders so, of course, they are knowledgeable. As a matter of fact, it does make students ready for the industry providing all the knowledge and skills. The internship plays a crucial role. Semester exams are easy to moderate and the passing percentage was 40%.
Other: I had chosen this course because initially I was inclined towards the kitchen, I love cooking, and I wanted to explore a new place and people from different cultures.

The lowest ranges from 3 LPA - 4 LPA. The average package ranges from 5 LPA - 6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are ITC Hotels, Taj Hotels, Leela Palace, Hyatt Regency, Lalit Suri Hotels, Mariott Hotels, Apparel Group, Aditya Birla Fashion, Reliance, and many more. 100% of students got placed in all the companies which I mentioned over there. Roles offered are FOS, FNBS, CDP, and MS hosts.
Infrastructure: In my college, we have all the practical labs like separate kitchen for all the years and courses, front office labs, housekeeping labs, and restaurants for food beverages service. Also, we have theory classrooms with projectors. There is a library with all the books we need. We have Wi-Fi, playground, hostel facility, dining hall for students' lunch, cafeteria, auditorium, and much more.
Faculty: Teachers are too knowledgeable, helpful, and qualified. You can assume that every single faculty member has won at least two or three awards and some won seven and more for teaching. Teachers are absolutely awesome in terms of knowledge, they know every single thing with deep, and they are just super fine in their department. Course curriculum is totally relevant. It definitely makes students ready for the industry. Semester exams are little difficult to pass but if you do regular classes you will find it easy. Pass percentage is 33%.
Other: I chose this course because of money, hospitality, and a great career, as in this course you can have a great career if you are a hard-working person. Things that can be improved are to stop forcing students to do things on time if they are not able to do also do placements after removing those students who already got selected in better places. We do have food festival, annual day function, Pongal, Ganesh Chaturthi, Holi, Onam, farewell, and fresher party. Campus crowd is huge as every year there are 300 student seats and that used to fill up totally. Campus is surrounded by the forest.
