The minimum percentage appropriate for enrolling in a BBA in Hospitality Management (BBA HM) program largely depends on the institution and the country in which it is located. In general, almost all colleges expect students to pass their 12th standard with a minimum of 45% to 60% aggregate marks. Some of the leading universities and private colleges are expected to have higher cutoff criteria while others, that have an entrance examination, tend to emphasize more on the performance of those tests instead of just on the board examination scores. Further reserving category students (SC/ST/OBC) may also qualify for some leniency in the required percentage.
Some universities have an entrance exam, others take a personal interview, group discussions, or even a combination of some of them as part of the selection procedure. Other institutions may look into other aspects such as belonging to a hospitality industry for some work experience or even other non-academic activities. As with any other colleges, a reliable source must be consulted to verify the admission process of the preferred university which will make further application steps easier to complete. Education in any endeavor specifically in the area of concern in this case hospitality do not guarantee securing a place in a competitive college. Other criteria determines a place in the college and so in this context students will need to set competing in mastering the BBA HM degree.
