IHM Hajipur

What IHM Hajipur does

IHM Hajipur (Institute of Hotel Management Catering & Applied Nutrition) is an autonomous government educational institution established in 1998 under the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, and one of 21 central Institutes of Hotel Management directly controlled by the Ministry. Located on a 3-acre campus in Hajipur, Bihar — approximately 10 km from Patna — the institute is the sole central IHM serving the Bihar and Jharkhand region. It is affiliated with the National Council for Hotel Management & Catering Technology (NCHMCT), Noida, and awards its 3-year B.Sc. in Hospitality & Hotel Administration through Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi (effective from 2023-24, previously through IGNOU).

The institute's core academic portfolio consists of the 3-year B.Sc. HHA degree (annual intake 264 seats routed through the national NCHM JEE entrance exam), two one-and-a-half year diploma programs in Food Production and Food & Beverage Service (56 seats each), and short-term HSRT (Hunar se Rozgar) skill training modules in F&B Service, Food Production, Bakery, and Housekeeping. It supplements these with Training & Consultancy services (including an active IOCL Barauni engagement), Skill Testing & Certification for employed hospitality workers, and Tourism Awareness Programmes delivered in partnership with BSTDC. Training infrastructure includes BTK/QTK/ATK kitchens, a training restaurant, specialty restaurant, PMS lab using IDS Property Management Software, computer lab, auditorium, and hostel facilities (~200 boys, ~50 girls). Revenue is generated through government grant-in-aid, student tuition fees, HSRT program fees, and corporate consultancy income, supported by 51 staff and faculty members including a Principal I/C with 24 years of tenure.

The institute's GTM motion is sales-led but constrained: B.Sc. admissions flow through the centralized NCHM JEE / NTA examination, diploma admissions are first-come-first-served, HSRT is delivered through three partner hotels (Hotel Maurya Patna, Hotel Ginger Jamshedpur, Hotel Sky Lark Dhanbad), and corporate engagements like IOCL are direct sales. Digital infrastructure includes an e-admission portal, SBI Collect fee payment gateway, E-Granthalaya library system, and active presence on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Customer concentration is low, with the student base distributed nationally and across SAARC countries.
