Applications are now open for NCHM JEE 2026, the national entrance exam for admission to the 3-year B.Sc. (Hons.) Hospitality & Hotel Administration programme. This exam is managed by the National Testing Agency for NCHMCT and IGNOU, and successful candidates can secure seats at over 70 Institutes of Hotel Management (IHMs) and Food Craft Institutes across India. The programme is available at central, state, private, and PPP IHMs, as well as select Food Craft Institutes. Admission is based on your NCHM JEE score, followed by centralized counselling conducted in five rounds through the NCHMCT portal. If you’re aiming for a career in hotel management, this is the primary route for undergraduate entry. Note that NCHMCT also runs a separate entrance for M.Sc. admissions.
