Students must also score good rank in top national-level or state-level entrance exams such as JEE Main,  MHT CET and KCET for admission into these courses. It can be easy or extremely tough depending on the way one studies. It is a comprehensive subject which consists of many core and elective subjects as well as industrial training. This makes the course tough to pursue with the bright minds being able to secure good ranks and establish a career in Food Technology. 

I would recommend you to do 10+2 and then take a Bachelors in food technology. This gives higher career prospects. After 10th, you can consider a Diploma though. Diploma - internship or few years of experience - Bachelors can also be another route you may want to explore.
