Hello Swami,
Below are a few institutions in Delhi offering program in this field:
Jamia Millia Islamia
SKYLINE Business School
JIMS - Jagannath Institute of Management Sciences
Hope Institute of Hospitality Management,
Cradle of Management Institute (Hotel Management)
If you can move out of Delhi then I would suggest you to look for UTM Shillong as its pretty good university for pursuing BBA in Hospitality, Travel and Tourism. Plus Shillong being a tourist destination you will get good industrial exposure there. Rest, choice is yours. Good luck :)
