Hospitality & Travel

Being an alumnus of LPU, I can share with you the detail of hotel management programmes offered by LPU after BCom. My one friend did his hotel management programme there. LPU offers the following 2 programmes for hotel management after BCom.
MSc. (Hotel Management)
MBA (Tourism and Hospitality)
Eligibility for admission is different for both.
For MSc, you can directly take admission without any entrance exam or interview such as the LPUNEST if you have a minimum of 50% marks in your BCom.
For MBA, you should have a minimum of 55% marks in BCom. Moreover, if you've qualified for any national test like CAT/MAT/XAT, then have to qualify for the LPUNEST and interview conducted by LPU.
Let me share a few points about the Hotel Management programme at LPU :
