Yes, if you pursue CUET PG in Food Science and Technology, you can move toward a career as a nutritionist, but it may not be the most direct route. Food Science focuses more on food processing, safety, and technology, while nutritionist/dietitian roles usually require a degree or PG in Nutrition, Dietetics, or Clinical Nutrition. With Food Science, you can still work in food quality, R&D, or industry-based nutrition roles, but for clinical or hospital practice as a licensed nutritionist, you may need additional qualifications in Nutrition/Dietetics.

Hello,

Nutritionist is a person that advises children, men and women of different age groups related to the food pattern, diet, nutrition, and other related things.

Students after their 12th must opt for nutrition courses as their undergraduate course. Some of the courses are B.Sc. in Nutrition and Dietetics, B.Sc. in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics, or certificate courses.

The scope for nutritionist and dieticians have increased in India. After UG courses students can either continue their further studies or opt for jobs like Clinical Dietician, Pediatrician, Sports dietician, Community dietician, etc.

Hope it helps.

Good Luck!!

Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing absolutely great.

So, with regard to your query, YES you are completely eligible to become a nutritionist in hospitals after completion of BSc Home science Nutrition. Further you are eligible to work in private hospitals also.
