List of IHMs in India 2022: Check the Central, State and Private IHMs in India and Available Courses

India is a country where tourism is one of the major revenue-generating sectors and campaigns such as Incredible India have gained international attention and are attracting tourists from all around the globe. This has made hospitality education in India an important part of the higher education sector. Tourism and hotel management education in India is a field that is lucrative as well as relatively easier to get into as compared to many other highly competitive areas of higher education.

Plus, with celebrity chefs gaining attention all around the world and new avenues of tourism opening up in India as well as abroad, the number of candidates vying for admission to hotel management courses after class 12th is quite high. Therefore, while there are already a decent number of hotel management colleges in India, there is still scope for the addition of more colleges and explore more avenues of hospitality education in India. The governing body responsible for the promotion and regulation of education in the field of hospitality and hotel management in India is the National Council of Hotel Management and Catering Technology (NCHMCT). Established in the year 1982, NCHMCT is the apex body responsible for the organization and growth of hospitality education in India. The council works with the aim of dissemination of knowledge and research in the fields of Hotel Management, Food Management, Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition.
