Is it worth doing an BHM at LPU if my main goal is to land a high-paying job??

I would say that doing a BHM at LPU can definitely help you land a high-paying job. The teaching methods are excellent, and I appreciate how the professors are always willing to help. The campus is vibrant, and you get to interact with students from all over India. The placement opportunities are really good, with companies like Radisson and Marriott frequently visiting. The fees are around 80,000 per year, which is worth it for the quality of education and the strong emphasis on practical training.

If you're really passionate about hotel management, LPU is a good choice for a BHM. The course offers a great curriculum, and the faculty is very approachable. They even provide internship opportunities where you can earn a stipend while gaining experience. I felt that the admission process was straightforward, and the campus environment is awesome. The total fees are about 150,000 for the entire course, which is manageable. Plus, the placement record is impressive, with many big hotels recruiting directly from campus.

These selected students will begin their roles as Chef Trainees for Food & Beverage Service in April 2016.
