Hey jatin!

I totally understand your problem . And i have seen  many students facing  the same problem after 12th because there are many parents who do not allow their children to pursue the course they want to. But note that , whatever they want you to do , they will never have a bad intention behind. All they just want for you is something good. They can never wish something for you.

The reason for not letting you apply for hotel management might be that they do not believe that you can do this course. In this case , you need to give them a proof by showing your capability . There are many top hotel management institutes which have their entrance exams , so try clearing those exams and once you clear them , just show the results to your parents.

I am sure that they will not stop you from doing HM in that case.

Hello Shubham

As you know that competition is very high and every one wants best.

With this rank ( 88630) it will be not possible to get admission in vit Vellore or Chennai campus according to previous year cut offs .

You need to secure atleast 40-45 thousand rank ( or even better according to branch preference). So you should look for other colleges.

Good luck.
