Should you pick MHM at MAHE Manipal?

This course suits graduates who want a sales, marketing or revenue job in hotels and can live in a small university town.

Pick it if:
You want a sales, marketing or revenue job in hotels: the course puts its weight on revenue management and on sales and marketing, not on kitchen work.
You want to join a big hotel chain: ITC Hotels, whose Welcomgroup brand gives the school its name, recruits here along with Hyatt, IHG and The Oberoi Group.
You have no entrance exam result: the seat comes from a personal interview merit list, so how you talk about hotels counts more than a test.
You want your meals sorted with your room: the hostel fee includes food four times a day, so there is no separate mess fee to plan for.
Skip it if:
You are paying the full fee yourself: at INR 7.10 Lakhs against an average pay of INR 5.2 LPA, the fee takes more than a working year to earn back.
You want a big-city hotel scene around you: Manipal is a small university town, so hotel practice comes through the school's own training, not city part-time jobs.
You are counting on the Scholar waiver: the MAHE scholarship list gives this course one Scholar seat, so only the top merit rank gets the 20% waiver.
You plan to apply at the last minute: the 2026 form stayed open till 15 Aug 2026, the same month classes started, so little time was left for a loan.
Counsellor's advice
If you get an offer and plan to take a loan, pay the first fee only after the bank approves it. If your graduation marks are 70% or more, ask the Admissions Office about the Scholar waiver before you pay.

  • In recent QS ranking 2020, Manipal University secured 17th rank all over India and 200th all over Asia, making it one of the top-ranked private universities in India.
