SIITAM Beach Campus Visakhapatnam Admission 2026: Dates, Eligibility, Process & How to Apply

SUN International Institute for Tourism & Management admission for 2026 is open for all UG, PG, Diploma and PG Diploma. The campus is located near the ISKCON Temple on Beach Road in Visakhapatnam and is affiliated with Andhra University, with recognition from University Grants Commission (UGC) and approval from All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). Admissions are merit-based for all programmes, and no entrance exam is required for courses like BHM, BBA, B.Sc., MBA, and Diploma programmes.

The flagship programme at the Beach Campus is BHM (Bachelor of Hotel Management). The campus is set within a working hotel environment, so students get practical exposure from the first semester.

For MBA admission, scores from AP ICET 2026 are also accepted. The exam is scheduled for May 2, 2026, and is conducted by Andhra University on behalf of APSCHE. Students can apply online through the official website or offline at the Beach Campus.
