The entrance exam for MTTM (Master of Tourism and Travel Management) depends on the university or institute you are applying to, as there is no single common national entrance test for this course. Most universities conduct their own admission process. Generally, admissions for MTTM start between March and June for the academic session beginning in July or August.

In many universities, admission is done either through a university-level entrance exam or based on merit in your graduation. Some institutions may conduct a written test that includes questions from general awareness, tourism basics, aptitude, English comprehension and logical reasoning, followed by a personal interview or group discussion. A few universities may offer direct admission based on graduation marks, especially if seats remain vacant.

To attend the entrance exam or apply for admission, you need to regularly check the admission notifications of the universities offering MTTM. Once the application forms are released, you have to fill the online or offline form, upload required documents such as graduation marksheets, ID proof and photographs, and pay the application fee. After this, you will receive details about the entrance exam date, syllabus and admit card, if an exam is conducted.

Eligibility usually requires a bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognised university, with minimum qualifying marks as prescribed by the institute. Some universities may also prefer candidates with a background in tourism, hospitality or management, but it is not mandatory in most cases.

It is advisable to shortlist a few universities offering MTTM and track their admission schedules so that you do not miss important dates. Proper preparation for general aptitude, basic tourism concepts and communication skills will help if an entrance test or interview is involved. All the best.
