Hi,
Admissions in Institute of Hotel Management (IHMs) are based on the rank you get in National Counsel of Hotel Management and Catering Technology ( NCHMCT) Joint Entrance Exam. Whereas, IIHM conducts its own test/Interview for admissions.
Choosing an IHM over IIHM depends upon which IHM you are getting, If you are getting top IHMs such as IHM0-Pusa, Delhi, IHM-Mumbai, IHM-Bengaluru, IHM-Chennai, IHM-Kolkata or IHM-Aurangabad then you should prefer these IHMs over IIHM, and If you are getting the lower IHM like IHM-Hajipur, IHM-Dehradun, IHM-Shilong, IHM-Shimla, etc., then you should definitely go for IIHM.
Out of all the IIHMs, IIHM-Kolkata is considered as the best.
All the best.
