Institute of Hotel Management Aurangabad

Hi, IHM Aurangabad Admission 2017 Eligibility Criteria
Candidates are eligible to secure admission in hotel management and culinary arts courses offered at IHM Aurangabad only if they have cleared their Class 12 (in the 10+2 pattern) or any other equivalent examination from any stream. However, here candidates need to ensure that they have studied from an English medium school. Apart from this, aspirants who are appearing for their Class 12/board exams in 2017 are also eligible to apply for admission at IHM-A. Such candidates will secure admission provisionally and their admissions will be confirmed only once they submit a certificate stating that they have qualified the board exams. https://www.shiksha.com/hospitality-travel/hotel-hospitality-management/articles/ihm-aurangabad-2017-eligibility-test-centres-blogId-12270.

Hi,
STEP is Systematic Training and Education Program by Oberoi Hotels and Resorts.
In STEP program the candidate learns while working in any one of the Oberoi's properties.
Oberoi provides a degree of Bachelors of Hotel management from Indira Gandhi National Open University.
So, STEP is basically a distance course when learning happens inside the hotel and there is no formal classroom based study.
On the other hand, IHM-Aurangabad provides a full time Bachelor's in Hotel management. The student learns in the classroom, the practicals happen in a systematic way and the students are sent for Industrial Training for 4-5 months in various hotels where they gain practical experience.
In my opinion IHM, Aurangabad is better than STEP as the learning is systematic, a fixed curriculum is followed. There are managerial subjects that are taught by experienced professors.
