I am from arts stream and want to become nutritionist

Yes, you can become a nutritionist even if you are from Arts stream, but the path is a little different compared to Science students. Most B.Sc. Nutrition and Dietetics courses ask for Biology or Science background, so direct admission may not be possible everywhere.

What you can do:

You can join Diploma or Certificate courses in Nutrition & Dietetics after 12th Arts. These are available in many institutes and will give you the base knowledge.

Some private universities also allow Arts students in B.Sc. Nutrition/Home Science if you had subjects like Biology or Home Science in 12th.

After completing diploma or graduation, you can go for M.Sc. in Nutrition/Dietetics or advanced certifications to build your career.

Just keep in mind that the top colleges prefer Science students, so you may have to explore private colleges or alternative routes.

Hello,

Yes, even as an arts background student, you can still become a nutritionist by first completing 12th and joining any diploma or certification course in nutrition and dietetics. You may also pursue a bachelor's or master's degree in nutrition, although some institutions may have science (like biology or chemistry) prerequisites for these programs. You will gain practical experience through internships and will need strong communication and empathy skills to succeed.

I hope it will clear your query!!

For arts student you need to pursue a diploma or postgraduate diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics after completing your 12th standard or graduation.

Nutrition and dietetics courses

If you want to become a Registered Dietitian to work in a hospital, you will need to pass an exam from the Indian Dietetic Association after completing a master's degree and a mandatory six month internship.

All the best for your future..
