How can I make a career in Nutrition & Dietetics?

I want to make a career in Nutrition & Dietetics. I am a student of 10+2 in Science Stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Please tell me the right career path to lead towards my aspiration and the best colleges in India from where I should do this program.


After completing high school, you should seek admission into B.Sc degree in Home Science from a reputed institute or college. You can also go for a 1 year Diploma program offered by many reputed universities and institutes in India. However, I would always suggest anyone to go for a graduation first. Next, you can opt for a master’s or post graduation degree in nutrition.

The best college for this program is National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad. This college offers a master’s degree and postgraduate certificate in Nutrition. The college has been approved on an international level for its research on nutrition. Other options that you could consider are SNDT College, Mumbai and Mangalore University; they offer competent courses in Nutrition and dietetics.

You will have the choice to do specializations in Sensory Science Community Dietitians, Consultant Dietitians, Clinical Dietitians, Public Health Nutrition, Food Toxicology, Management Dietitians, Nutritional Physiology, Molecular Nutrition, Nutrition in Health and Disease. Good Luck!
