Job Prospects:
Despite the fact that food processing industry in India is at developing stage, it offers exponential career opportunities to trained professionals in food processing as there are nearly 500 million middle and upper class consumers and food processing companies do not want to miss the opportunity. Moreover, the Ministry of Food Processing Industries has ambitious plan to set up more than 500 food parks across India in every parliamentary constituency so that a real food revolution can be brought about and employment can be generated.
With aptitude to work and requisite skills one can find employment in companies, food research laboratories, catering companies, food wholesalers, hospitals, restaurants etc. Higher education and special qualification helps in getting attractive position within the food processing sector. Qualification in home science and specialization in food technology, nutrition or food services management can help you climb up the ladder in the industry. Similarly, certification in dietetics, applied nutrition, food science and preservation helps candidates advance in career. Regards.

The cut-off for the first list has 798 on 800. Parents of students who had scores 780 were getting agitated when they realised their children did not stand a chance. We are getting worried on how to bring the list out, says Ms. Prasad. An eighty or eighty-five per cent marks seems to have become a mediocre score to ensure a seat to one of the top city colleges. In most colleges, for courses that are highly sought after the cut-offs are as high as 98 to 99 per cent.
Admission is given to students with at least two or more centums. We are not able to consider a student with one centum, with the limited seats, says Margaret in charge of admissions in the self-financing stream in the Women's Christian College. From 780 marks for the top three courses the marks has increased to 790 this year, in the main subjects. Similar is the situation in the Madras Christian College where the B.Com course has high demand.
