The need for an entrance exam depends on the course you are taking as well as the institution you are applying to. Some competitive programs such as BBA FIA, BSc, LLB and Aeronautical Engineering generally require tests such as CUET, CLAT, or JEE along with other university specific exams. But some institutions do accept students based on their high school or academic scores. Private universities may conduct interviews or aptitude tests instead of formal entrance examinations.
Many colleges offering hospitality management (BSc HM) do grant direct admissions, but the best institutes such as IHM do have exams like NCHMCT JEE. The same goes for airport management programs; certain programs may have entrance tests while others use academic grades. Always make sure to verify the specific admission criteria of your chosen university to see if any entrance examinations are required. Checking official college websites or speaking to the admission office will ensure that you are updated on eligibility requirements and the application process.
