BHM

Hi,
Yes, you can clear the entrance exam, then you can join HM.

Hi,
If you are a fresher, then you can expect a starting salary of Rs.10k to Rs.12k, but if you have a decent experience, then your salary can range up to Rs.20k to Rs.25k. You can pursue Masters in hospitality after completing UG in HM.
All the best.

It would be better if you work for at least 2 years after completing BHM. It will be very useful for you to work in Australia or to pursue a PG course from there itself.

I think, you should go for Master's degree or you can do job for 1 year, and then opt for Master's degree.

Hospitality Management covers hotel management also, but the career scope with hospitality management is more as compared to that in hotel management. Hotel management is specific to hotels / restaurants where-as hospitality management provides good opportunities in related services Sector also.

Join a good job in your interested department and take a distance MBA course in either hotel management, if you want, or I would suggest you to take some other MBA specialization like travel and tourism or marketing management in which you will get high level jobs in the hotel industry.

The eligibility depends on the type of course that you wish to pursue. Details of some courses are stated below:
Diploma after completing class 10th from a recognised board with a minimum of 40% marks.
Bachelor's Degree: Class 10+2 examination with at least 50% marks.
Post-graduation degree: Bachelor's degree from a recognised university with at least 45% marks.
Graduate and PG programs may also require you to appear for entrance exams such as NCHMCT, AIMA UGAT, and E-Chat.

Before jumping to any decision to select hotel management as a career option, it is always advised to analyse pros and cons, growth prospects, matching of work-profile with personality traits, etc. If the candidate is not willing to work in various profiles, he may not be suitable for it as in hotel management an employee may be asked to work in management, food and beverage service, housekeeping, front office operation, sales and marketing, accounting or any other department depending on the specific requirement.
