CSMU B.H.M : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. CSMU's Department of Hospitality Management has four dedicated practical training labs for BHM students. The Food Production Lab trains students in culinary skills, cooking techniques, and kitchen operations. The Housekeeping Lab is a simulated setup for training in cleaning, linen management, and guest room upkeep. The Front Office Lab replicates a hotel reception area where students practice guest handling, reservations, and check-in/check-out procedures. The Food and Beverage Lab is equipped for training in restaurant and bar operations, table setting, beverage preparation, and guest service. These labs ensure students are industry-ready before they graduate.

Ans. Yes, CSMU officially accepts MAH BHMCT CET (MHCET) scores for BHM admission, as confirmed on the Department of Hospitality Management page. However, it is not the only route - CSMU also accepts CSMUCET scores and CUET UG scores. Students who score 80% or above in 10+2 may be eligible for direct merit-based admission without appearing in CSMUCET. MAH BHMCT CET 2026 was conducted from April 28-30, 2026, and its results will be used for admission counselling. Students who have already appeared in MAH BHMCT CET can use those scores directly for CSMU BHM admission.

Ans. The total fee for BHM at CSMU is Rs. 4,95,000 over 4 years (including the one-time non-refundable registration fee of Rs. 15,000), at Rs. 1,20,000 per year. This is higher than the 3-year B.Sc (Hospitality Studies) which costs Rs. 2,85,000 total (Rs. 90,000/year), but the BHM is a more comprehensive 4-year program with dedicated labs and deeper industry training. The 2-year Diploma in Hotel Management costs Rs. 90,000/year. Fee payment can be made in up to 4 installments per year, and at the time of admission, a minimum of 50% of the annual fee must be paid.

Ans. CSMU is a private university established under the Maharashtra Private Universities Act, 2014, and is recognized by the UGC. The BHM program is offered under the Department of Hospitality Management and is a university-level degree. It is important to note that CSMU's BHM is different from the IHM (Institute of Hotel Management) programs affiliated to the National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology (NCHMCT), which are government-run programs. CSMU's BHM is a private university degree that is recognized for employment and higher education purposes, but students seeking NCHMCT-affiliated programs should apply separately through NCHM JEE.
