B.Sc. In Nutrition and Dietetics which will you in Constructing strong basic foundation in concepts of nutrition and diet plan, thus crafting skillful and notion ready nutritional experts for addressing the health challenges. If you have an inborn interest in cooking and exploring various cuisines from different countries, nutrition and dietetics is one subject which will help you explore how to design controlled diets. Based on the body mass index, you can design your own food charts that would summarize the quantity of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins which must be consumed everyday. For a career, initially, this may be a low paying job. But once you have picked up and gained experience, there is a lot of scope and you may earn quite well and travel abroad as well.

Let me give you the real picture, a PG course in Nutrition demands a base of science. The eligibility for this course is 60% (Bachelor's of Science degree with (Nutrition & Dietetics/ Home Sc./ Med / Non-Med / Bio-Sc. / Medical Science & Allied Medical/ Food Tech./ Veterinary Microbiology & Parasitology/ Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology/ Clinical Chemistry/ Public Health & Allied Sciences)). However ith a BCom graduation you have a wide variety of choices. Like After Bcom, you can enter into different streams with this degree. You can get into banking, civil services, MBA, law, designing/merchandising, M Com, finance, economics many more. However, if you want to foray into management, a BBA followed by an MBA from a reputed college is the right career path for you. If you want to pursue Professional courses (Such as CA, CS or CWA), it is recommended to take up B.com, as they both have a lot of syllabus in common. Also, the college timings (Of B.com) will be convenient for you to take up heavy tuitions for these professional courses.
