I have completed Std XII and now I want to pursue a career in the hotel industry as a chef. Please guide me as to how to go ahead with this.
For professional training to get into this field, one should go for a course in hotel management and opt for the specialization in Food & Beverage. A number of reputed institutes in the country run these courses.
The National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology, New Delhi, conducts a joint entrance test (NCHM JEE) for admission to the 3-year B.Sc. programme in Hospitality and Hotel Administration for its 52 affiliated Institutes of Hotel Management, all over India. Students who have completed 10+2 in any stream including vocational, are eligible to apply. The exam is of 3 hours duration and contains a total of 200 questions on Numerical Ability & Scientific Aptitude, Reasoning & Logical Deduction, General Knowledge & Current Affairs and English language.
Private institutes such as the Welcomegroup Graduate School of Hotel administration, Manipal, Oberoi School of Hotel Management, New Delhi and Institute of Hotel Management, Aurangabad, hold separate entrance exams, followed by an interview.
