Institute of Hotel Management, Catering Technology & Applied Nutrition Chennai

In 2023, the cutoff score for general category applicants vying for admission to IHM Chennai was 178 on the National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology Joint Entrance Examination (NCHMCT-JEE). The minimal qualifying score needed to be admitted to the chosen course is this cutoff. More specifically, 238 was the cutoff for the M.Sc. programme at IHM Chennai that same year. The number of applications and the number of seats available for each course are among the variables that affect the cutoff scores. Crucially, cutoff scores are subject to annual fluctuations and are strongly impacted by students' aggregate performance on the admission exam. Aspiring applicants must keep up with these cutoff patterns in order to assess their chances of securing admission to their preferred courses.

It is highly competitive and quite difficult to gain admission to the Institute of Hotel Management (IHM) Chennai with just 70% of the possible points in your class 12 diploma. These are the main points to remember:

Instead of only considering class 12th percentage, IHM Chennai also considers candidates' performance in the OPENMAT or NCHM JEE exams.
Usually, candidates in the General category must score more than 130 out of 200 to meet the qualifying cutoff in the OPENMAT exam.
In order to have a shot listed at IHM Chennai in class 12, you must receive an aggregate score of at least 80% across all main boards.
Group Discussion and Personal Interview stages are important for being shortlisted in addition to written exam results.

It will be difficult to get general category B.Sc. admission at IHM Chennai with a 60% in the 12th grade. You can increase your chances by raising your NCHMCT JEE rank and profile. Students in the reserved group have higher chances.
For both the B.Sc. in Culinary Arts and the B.Sc. in Hospitality and Hotel Administration, the minimum 12th standard percentage required is 60%, and for both, it is 50%.
You are therefore ineligible for a B.Sc. in Hospitality with 60%, but not for a Culinary Arts degree.
In the past, general category students had to receive at least 65-70% in their 12th grade to be admitted to IHM Chennai's B.Sc. program.
The minimum 12th percentage for reserved groups, such as SC, ST, and OBC, is 45–50%. You can therefore apply if you receive a 60%, but admittance will be based on counseling merit.
