Like the IITs, IIMs and NITs, we also have the IHMs. There are 21 central IHMs, 25 state IHMs,1 PSU IHM, and 27 Private IHM that strive to impart Hospitality Education and Training. Institutes of Hotel Management in India take admission based on a national level entrance test NCHMCT JEE. Here we have discussed which are the 10 IHMs with the highest cutoff last year.

What IIT is to an engineering aspirant and IIM is to an MBA aspirant; an IHM is to a hospitality candidate. Institute of Hotel Management is affiliated with NCHMCT. The National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology (NCHMCT) has been under the Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India since 1984. Admission to any of the IHM is a big deal and paves the way to a great career in the Hospitality industry. NTA holds the National Council for Hotel Management & Catering Technology Joint Entrance Exam (NCHMCT JEE) for admission to the IHMs each year.

Hospitality might not be a very conventional career choice for candidates, but it does not mean that it is not fast-growing. Around 40,000 students appear for NCHMCT JEE each year for admission to the IHMs.
