Institute of Hotel Management, Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition, Mumbai

You need to give NCHMCT JEE for hotel management.

It depends upon your AIR, if your ranking is below 500 AIR, then you can get admitted to IHM Pusa.

No, you can start your business with your own skills and knowledge.

Basic 12th standard. Maximum is probably 24 years. You will get more information on the website http://www.ihmctan.edu/

You should be between 3k to 5k to get admission in IHM-Mumbai in 1st round. And for 2nd round, you must be between 5k to 7k. I suggest you to not join IHM-Mumbai or any other hotel management course, better do simple B.Sc.
I am writing this because, I got IHM Mumbai in 2017 in 1st round of counselling, but after reporting IHM Mumbai, my mindset changed by seeing the scenario of the hotel industry and withdrew my documents and seats on the second day after that.
Currently, I am preparing for Engineering competitive exams.

It will start in the month of June.

If you have contacts abroad, It can be possible for you to go for internships abroad.

The application form is available and the last date to apply is 11th April, 2018. Examination has been scheduled for 28th April, 2018.
