Culinary Arts in India

Hi,
I am happy you have found your interest towards Culinary Arts.
BHM is more theoretical and practical but here emphasis in on core subjects like Food Production, Food Service, Front Office and Housekeeping. But when you are clear that you want only Culinary Arts as your trade, I'd suggest you to focus only on that, because that will give you an overall idea about the course. Moreover, Culinary Arts needs no theoretical knowledge, it needs hands-on experience. So it is more about you learning practically. I suggest you to take up culinary courses, master it and then apply for culinary jobs. It will definitely give you a happy life.
All the very best.

The first option is to do a course in hotel management or in culinary arts at a reputed professional institute.
- The 19 institutes registered under the National Council of Hotel Management provide excellent training in the field.
Apart from these, there are institutes run by reputed hotel chains and some private institutes with foreign affiliations and approvals from the All India Council for Technical Education.
- Institutes under the National Council offer a three-year Diploma course while private institutes offer a four-year Bachelor's programme.
For a three-year Diploma course, the following are a good bet:
Army Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology in Bangalore
Oriental School of Hotel Management in Kozhikode
Merit Swiss Asian School of Hotel Management in Ooty, Nilgiris
- Courses run by reputed hotel chains are considered more credible because of the infrastructure, the faculty they provide and the future prospects they offer. They are the best in terms of exposure to a working hotel and they enable one to imbibe the exacting levels of service. One may also be absorbed by the parent company post the training.
These institutes are run by three premium hotels graded as best in this category:
The Taj Group's Institute of Hotel Management at Aurangabad
Oberoi School of Hotel Management in New Delhi
Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration in Manipal
-Another option is to train at a renowned institute abroad.
