The Bachelor of Hotel Management (BHM) program in Nepal offers a prestigious pathway to a thriving career in the hospitality industry. As one of the top BHM colleges in Chitwan, Aarambha College provides comprehensive education that prepares students for success in Nepal's booming tourism sector and the global hospitality industry.
Our BHM course covers hotel operations, food and beverage management, front office operations, housekeeping management, and event planning. At our BHM college in Bharatpur, Chitwan, we prioritise hands-on learning through purpose-built kitchen, patisserie, and bar labs — not just classrooms.
Students gain real-world exposure through paid internships at renowned hotels and resorts. This experience equips BHM graduates from Aarambha College with the expertise and industry insights to excel — whether building a career in Nepal or internationally.
Applicants must sit the Central Management Aptitude Test (CMAT) conducted by TU Faculty of Management — the same exam used for BBA, BIM, and BITM admissions. The paper has 100 questions across four sections: Verbal Analysis, Quantitative Techniques, Logical Reasoning, and General Knowledge (25 questions each). A minimum of 40% is required to qualify for interview.

A BHM degree from a TU affiliated college in Chitwan opens doors across Nepal's booming tourism sector and the global hospitality industry.
Nepal's rich cultural heritage and natural beauty attract millions of tourists, creating consistent demand for skilled BHM graduates. The country's hospitality sector is growing faster than ever, and BHM graduates from Aarambha are at the forefront of that growth.
The TU BHM degree is recognised internationally. Graduates from Aarambha College work at five-star hotels, resorts, cruise ships, and event companies across the Middle East, Europe, and South-East Asia — building careers on the global stage.
Hotel Manager, F&B Manager, Front Office Manager, Event Coordinator, Tourism Manager, Revenue Analyst, Hospitality Consultant — BHM graduates step into roles across every layer of the industry both in Nepal and internationally.
Every student completes a paid internship before graduation — built into the programme as Semester 7, worth 12 credit hours. Aarambha places every BHM student at a partner hotel or resort before the semester begins. No searching. No uncertainty.
BHM graduates often start their own hotels, restaurants, event companies, or tourism ventures. Aarambha's curriculum includes Entrepreneurship and E-Commerce for Hospitality specifically to build this mindset from Year 3.
Studying BHM opens opportunities for international collaboration and cultural exchange. Aarambha College's industry partnerships expose students to global hospitality practices and diverse working environments from Year 1.
We are not trying to produce students who can recite theory. We are trying to produce professionals the industry quietly competes to hire.
Develop skilled and professional individuals with a strong foundation in hotel management and the hospitality industry.
Provide comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in hotel operations, F&B management, event planning, and tourism management.
Foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making to address real challenges in the dynamic hospitality sector.
Prepare students for leadership roles emphasising ethical practice, cultural sensitivity, and customer service excellence.

Industry-aligned curriculum following TU standards with real hospitality applications from Semester 1 — Hotel French, kitchen lab, and bar lab from day one.
Purpose-built kitchen, patisserie, and bar lab on campus. Every theory is put to practice — not in a simulation, but in a real operational environment.
Mock front-office, dining room, and culinary labs equipped to industry standard — the same tools students will use on their first day of employment.
Experienced faculty who have worked in five-star hotels, resorts, and event companies — bringing real professional experience into every session.
Guaranteed paid industry placement in Semester 7. Aarambha secures the placement before the semester begins — no hunting, no uncertainty.
Merit-based scholarships up to 100% with a fully transparent rubric. Financial barriers should not stand between ambition and a hospitality career.
Hospitality is a people industry. These semester-by-semester activities build the soft skills, industry exposure, and professional network that separate a graduate from a professional.
I came in shy and left running a 14-person kitchen brigade at a five-star property in Doha. Aarambha didn't just teach me to cook — it taught me to lead. The internship was placed before I even finished sixth semester.
The bar lab and kitchen lab are real — not simulations. By second year I already knew how to run a service shift properly. That's what sets Aarambha BHM apart from other colleges in Chitwan.
The Hotel French course in first semester was something I never expected — and it opened my internship at a French-managed resort in Pokhara. Practical thinking from day one.
The fee transparency was the deciding factor. Everything published, no surprises in semester three. The scholarship rubric was honest — we knew exactly where we stood before enrolling.
