Hello, Yes, it is absolutely possible to take admission for a BBA in Hospitality Management after completing the 12th Arts stream. Most hospitality management programs in Maharashtra (and India) accept students from any stream—Arts, Commerce, or Science—as long as they have passed their 10+2 examinations with the required minimum percentage (usually 45% to 50%).

Regarding entrance tests, the process varies. Some colleges grant admission based on your 12th-grade marks (merit-based), followed by a personal interview. However, many top private universities have their own entrance exams. For BBA-specific programs, these might include tests like the NMIMS NPAT (for NMIMS) or other university-specific tests. The most famous hotel management exam is NCHMCT JEE, but this is typically for B.Sc. degrees, not BBA.

Here is a list of colleges in and around Mumbai offering a BBA in Hospitality or similar programs:

  • NMIMS School of Hospitality Management, Navi Mumbai
  • ITM Institute of Hotel Management (ITM-IHM), Navi Mumbai & Oshiwara
  • Dr. D.Y. Patil University School of Hospitality & Tourism Studies, Navi Mumbai
  • Maharashtra State Skills University, Mumbai
  • Amity University, Mumbai

Process to Follow:

  1. Shortlist Colleges: Identify colleges from the list above (or others) that you are interested in.
  2. Check Eligibility: Visit their official websites to confirm eligibility for 12th Arts students.
  3. Find Entrance Exams: Check the admission process. If they require an entrance test (like NMIMS NPAT), register for it on time. If it's merit-based, wait for their application forms to be released after the 12th results.
  4. Apply: Fill out the application forms for each college, either for the entrance test or for merit-based admission.
  5. Counselling/Interview: After the results, you will be called for counselling or a personal interview (PI) to finalize your admission.
