On Highlights
Q:   Can I join Institute of Hotel Management Chennai directly?
A: 

No, direct admission to the Institute of Hotel Management Chennai is not available for most courses. Undergraduate programs such as B.Sc. in Hospitality and Hotel Administration have a mode of admission that includes NCHMCT JEE examination, followed by counseling and seat allocation on rank basis. Furthermore, there are eligibility criteria like having passed Class 12 with a minimum of 50%.

Q:   What is the cutoff for IHM Chennai?
A: 

IHM Chennai accepts NCHMCT JEE ranks for admission to BSc courses, followed by counselling. IHM Chennai NCHMCT JEE Cutoff 2025 has been released for Round 1. The cutoff rank was released for B.Sc. in Hospitality and Hotel Administration for different categories under the AI Quota. For the General AI Category candidates, the cutoff rank stood at 3063. The first round cutoff for the same course was 3609 in 2024 and 3258 in 2023. Considering the Round 1 cutoff ranks over three years, it is evident that the BSc in Hospitality and Hotel Administration saw a fluctuating trend in its closing ranks for the General AI quota. 

Q:   Can I get direct admission in IHM, Chennai?
A: 

Yes, you can get direct admission in IHM, Chennai by direct counselling process. Direct admission is not an option for degree programmes like the B.Sc. The NCHMCT JEE test is required for applicants.

The NCHMCT JEE test serves as the prerequisite for admission to the majority of IHMs, including IHM Chennai.
If an applicant passes the qualifying requirements for particular programmes, such as B.Sc. Hospitality & Hotel Administration, direct admission may be an option.

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.
For both the B.Sc. in Culinary Arts and the B.Sc. in Hospitality and Hotel Administration, the minimum 12th standard percentage required is 60%, and for both, it is 50%.
You are therefore ineligible for a B.Sc. in Hospitality with 60%, but not for a Culinary Arts degree.
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.
