IHM Goa Admission 2025: Dates, Registration, Fees, Eligibility

IHM Goa, the Institute of Hotel Management, Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition, Goa, is one of India's eminent autonomous institutions that offer high-quality hotel management and hospitality education. Its very admission system is done through a method that considers the most suitable candidates on the basis of a national-level examination.

Admission to the flagship B.Sc. program in Hospitality and Hotel Administration was based on the entrance test conducted by NCHM JEE, so as to filter the best competent students into the program. The exam process usually starts by mid-december of one year and ends by mid-february of the following year.

The basic qualification for applying to the B.Sc. degree program at IHM Goa is 10+2 or an equivalent degree. However, strangely, the process has allowed students taking their 10th and 12th examinations to submit an NCHM JEE provisional application. To note, the provisional admission will ipso facto stand canceled if the candidates do not produce documents establishing having passed the qualifying examination before the last available time for counseling/admission.
