Hi Bhoomi,
Online education in Hotel Management is possible and they are institutes providing such courses:
-Madurai University
-Annamalai Univ
-YCMOU
-IGNOU
Although institutes have this as an option but then the value of such courses is doubtful as the HM course is a practical oriented course.The entire syllabus of Degree in Hotel management involves multiple practicals which in turn facilitates your placements.
I would suggest you to opt for the course in hospitality through the regular mode.
There are a few good institutes and to know about these, you may refer to the following link:

Thanks IqraKhan for inviting me to share my views on the query posted by Pranbandhu. Prabandhu being a very wide field, the scope of employment in tourism sector is very bright and the potential is still largely untapped. Career opportunities exist both in the public and private sector. In the public sector, there are opportunities in the Directorates and Departments of Tourism of the center and the state as Officers, information assistants, Tourist guides etc. Another good prospectus for qualified tourism professionals are in the private sector with travel agencies, tour operators, airlines, hotels, transport and cargo companies etc. The opening up of the skies to private airlines and their emerging tie-ups with foreign airlines has removed bottlenecks in the transport and communication network resulting in easy flow of domestic and foreign tourists in the country. Since this is a new area of employment, not many qualified and experienced people are available and the promotion prospectus are also very bright and rapid. After a few years of experience, One can also start their own business by handling all travel requirements of a client and gradually building up business, taking on additional employees.
