Like the IITs, IIMs and NITs, we also have the IHMs. There are 21 central IHMs, 25 state IHMs,1 PSU IHM, and 27 Private IHM that strive to impart Hospitality Education and Training. Institutes of Hotel Management in India take admission based on a national level entrance test NCHMCT JEE. Here we have discussed which are the 10 IHMs with the highest cutoff last year.

10 IHMs with Highest Cutoff

What IIT is to an engineering aspirant and IIM is to an MBA aspirant; an IHM is to a hospitality candidate. Institute of Hotel Management is affiliated with NCHMCT. The National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology (NCHMCT) has been under the Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India since 1984. Admission to any of the IHM is a big deal and paves the way to a great career in the Hospitality industry. NTA holds the National Council for Hotel Management & Catering Technology Joint Entrance Exam (NCHMCT JEE) for admission to the IHMs each year.

Hospitality might not be a very conventional career choice for candidates, but it does not mean that it is not fast-growing. Around 40,000 students appear for NCHMCT JEE each year for admission to the IHMs. 

Q:   Can I get B.Sc at IHM Chennai with 75 percentile in NCHMCT JEE?

A:

Yes, But your chances of being admitted to IHM Chennai for a B.Sc. programme are moderate to good with an NCHMCT JEE percentile score of 75, depending on the following variables:

The minimum NCHMCT JEE percentile requirements for general category candidates are 50 or higher for B.Sc. in Hospitality and Hotel Administration and 55 or higher for B.Sc. in Culinary Arts at IHM Chennai.
You so easily meet the general category limit for both programs with a 75 percentile score.
Nevertheless, the quantity of candidates with high scores and the level of competition also influence the final admission cutoffs.
For the B.Sc. in Hospitality and Hotel Administration at IHM Chennai, the cutoff percentile for general category students has increased to 80–85+ in prior years.
General category cutoffs for the B.Sc. Culinary Arts programme have historically been between the 75th and 80th percentile.
In conclusion, the 75 percentile offers you a decent chance, particularly for reserved seats, but because of the competitive climate, admittance may not be guaranteed. Aiming for the 80+ percentile would greatly increase your chances.

Q:   When will NCHMCT JEE 2025 cutoff released?

A:

NCHMCT Cutoff means the opening and closing ranks after the NCHM JEE Counselling. NCHMCT JEE 2025 cutoffs are prepared on the basis of minimum qualifying marks and rank obtained by an aspirant in JEE. The opening and closing ranks for NCHMCT JEE are released for each college that accepts scores of the hotel management entrance exam. 

Q:   What are the factors that affect NCHMCT JEE 2025 cutoff?

Q:   How do NTA decide the cutoff marks for NCHMCT JEE?

A:

The National Testing Agency (NTA) decides the cutoff marks for the NCHMCT JEE based on several factors:

  • Exam Difficulty Level: The overall difficulty level of the exam plays a significant role. If the exam is particularly challenging, the cutoff may be lower.
  • Candidate Performance: The average and distribution of scores obtained by candidates are analyzed. The NTA considers how well the majority of candidates performed to set a balanced cutoff.
  • Number of Seats Available: The number of available seats in the participating institutes influences the cutoff. If there are fewer seats, the cutoff may be higher to ensure that only the most qualified candidates are selected.
  • Previous Year Cutoffs: Historical data and previous year cutoffs are also taken into account to maintain consistency and fairness in the selection process.
  • Reservation Policies: Government regulations regarding reservations for various categories (SC, ST, OBC, EWS) can affect the cutoff marks for different groups.
  • Expert Consultation: NTA may consult subject matter experts and stakeholders from the education sector to establish a fair and reasonable cutoff.

The final cutoff is published alongside the exam results, providing transparency in the selection process. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, always refer to the official NTA website.

Q:   Is the 12th percentile necessary for the NCHMCT JEE?

A:
No, the 12th percentile is not necessary for appearing in the NCHMCT JEE. Some hotel management institutes may consider a 12th grade score in their admission criteria, but you can take this exam if you have passed the 12th grade. In addition, you must be under the age of 25 at the time of application and have English as one of your subjects in the 12th grade. The NCHMCT JEE exam is conducted for admission to the National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology. Other than that, its score is accepted in 27 private IHMs, 25 state IHMs, 21 central IHMs, and 1 PSU IHM.

Q:   How can I predict the expected cutoff for NCHMCT JEE exam?

A:

To predict the expected cutoff for the NCHMCT JEE Exam, you can consider the following approaches:

  • Analyze Previous Year Cutoffs: Review the cutoff marks from previous years to identify trends. Look for patterns in how cutoffs have changed in relation to exam difficulty and candidate performance.
  • Understand Exam Difficulty: Consider the general difficulty level of the current year’s exam. If it is reported to be more challenging than previous years, the cutoff may be lower, and vice versa.
  • Candidate Performance Trends: Follow discussions and forums where candidates share their experiences and estimated scores after the exam. This can give you an idea of how well the overall candidate pool performed.
  • Check Number of Candidates: Keep an eye on the number of candidates appearing for the exam. An increase in the number of candidates can lead to higher cutoffs due to increased competition.
  • Seat Availability: Review the number of seats available in participating institutes. Fewer available seats can lead to higher cutoffs.
  • Consult Expert Analysis: Look for analyses from coaching institutes or education experts who often provide insights and predictions based on various factors affecting the exam.
  • Stay Updated on Announcements: Follow official announcements from the NTA or related bodies regarding any changes in exam patterns or policies that could affect cutoffs.

By combining these factors, you can make an informed estimate of the expected cutoff for the NCHMCT JEE Exam.

Q:   How are Institute of Hotel Management Kolkata 2023 cut off marks determined?

The Institute of Hotel Management Kolkata (IHM Kolkata) cut off marks for 2023 will be determined based on the following factors:

Number of seats available: The cut off marks will be higher for courses with fewer seats available.

Number of applicants: The cut off marks will be higher for courses with more applicants.
