Yes, doing an M.Sc in Hospitality Administration from IHM Pusa is worth it, if you want to work in sales or want to be a faculty at IHMs. IHM Pusa doesn’t offer HR roles in campus placement. Classes take place regularly at IHM Pusa, which is not the case for other IHMs. The faculties are well-experienced. If you want to pursue the degree, you should prefer IHM Pusa.
Although the initial salary packages offered by IHMs are good, don’t expect a cushy package. Your salary package will depend on the company that you are going to work for. It can range between INR 15,000 - INR 30,000/month. You can also get increments depending on the company rules. You should prepare thoroughly for the interview.
If you go through the management trainee program for some hostel you will get around INR 20,000 - INR 24,000. After completing the 2-year long trainee program you can expect to get a salary package of INR 40,000 - INR 50,000/month.

So, first, you should complete your management trainee program from a company that way you can start easily.
My friend chose Haldia Institute of Technology over IHM Pusa because of its popularity. Choosing a college totally depends on you and by far my friend hadn’t regretted choosing it
If the food, the serving technique, and the interaction with the guests seem attractive to you then without any hesitation choose IHM Pusa.
Moreover, IHM Pusa is the best for hotel management but on the other hand, Haldia Institute of Technology is prominent for CSE.
Make a choice wisely and with all your interest so that you don’t regret it later.
