If you dream of becoming a CFSO (Chief Food Safety Officer), that’s a great choice with strong job opportunities in both public and private sectors. Here's how you can move ahead from your intermediate education.


Academic Stream:

  • You have selected MPC in Intermediate, which includes Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.

  • This stream is absolutely fine if you want to move into Food Technology in the future.


Entrance Exams You Should Focus On:

  • EAPCET (Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test) :

    • Yes, as an MPC student, you are eligible to write the EAPCET exam.

    • Through EAPCET, you can get admission into BTech Food Technology or BTech Food Science programs offered by several engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

  • ICAR AIEEA (Indian Council of Agricultural Research - All India Entrance Exam for Admission) :

    • If you're open to studying outside Andhra Pradesh or Telangana, ICAR AIEEA is also a good option for courses related to food science and agriculture.


Course Suggestions After Intermediate:

  • BTech in Food Technology

  • BSc in Food Science and Nutrition

  • BTech in Dairy Technology

  • BTech in Agricultural and Food Engineering

These programs will prepare you with the core knowledge required for government exams and roles like CFSO in future.


Eligibility to Become a CFSO:

  • To appear for CFSO recruitment (usually conducted by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India or state PSCs), candidates must hold a degree in Food Technology , Dairy Technology , Biotechnology , Oil Technology , Agricultural Science , or related fields.

  • So, your decision to pursue Food Technology after MPC is totally correct and aligned with CFSO eligibility.


Final Suggestion:

  • Prepare for EAPCET during your intermediate itself to secure a seat in a reputed Food Technology college.

  • After graduation, start preparing for competitive exams conducted by FSSAI , UPSC , or State PSCs to become a CFSO.

  • Also, maintain a strong academic record and practical skills during your UG course.
