To qualify as a dietician or nutrition expert, one must have completed a science-based plus-two degree, followed by a three-year BSc in Home Science and an MSc or postgraduate degree in Food and Nutrition. Valuable experience gained through training at a reputable hospital or institute is highly beneficial.

Upon completing the training, individuals can practice as full-time, part-time, or visiting dieticians within hospital settings. For teaching roles in schools, a BEd with an MSc or postgraduate degree in Food and Nutrition is required. Clearing the UGC test is necessary for securing a lecturer position at a college or university.

The average salary of a Dietitian is 5.1 LPA while that of a Nutritionist is 3.4 LPA.

In India, the salary difference between dietitians and nutritionists can vary based on several factors, including education, experience, employer, location, and specialization. However, in many cases, dietitians might have slightly higher earning potential compared to nutritionists.

Yes, after completing a BSc in Nutrition in India, you can open your clinic, provided you might need to obtain certification or licensing from relevant authorities or professional bodies to practice as a nutritionist or dietitian, depending on the state or region you plan to work in. 

It's also essential to have a strong foundation in nutrition Science, Dietetics, and related fields to provide accurate advice and guidance to your clients. Further certifications, workshops, or specialisation courses can add value to your practice.
