Can I Do Hotel Management After 12th?
Yes — hotel management is one of the most accessible and rewarding professional career paths available after Class 12. Unlike engineering or medicine, hotel management does not restrict eligibility by stream. Whether you studied Science, Commerce, or Arts/Humanities in your 10+2, you can pursue a hotel management programme at DVSIHM Meerut.
The two most important factors are your aggregate percentage in 10+2 and — for NCHMCT-affiliated programmes like B.Sc. HHA — your score in the NCHMCT Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). For degree and diploma programmes, admission is merit-based or direct.
Good to know: DVSIHM offers four hotel management programmes — BHMCT (4 years, AKTU), B.Sc. HHA (3 years, NCHMCT), and two 18-month NCHMCT Diploma programmes. Students from all streams are eligible for BHMCT and both Diploma programmes.
