M.Sc. in Food Science and Nutrition - Batch of 2024
3.0
Ready it, think it, and decide on your career.
Placements: No placements are provided by our department. During our final semester, there are no subjects for studying; only project work for the last semester. During this time, we can do an internship in the food-related industry or hospitals if our guide allows it. In our department, there will be project work based on our guide’s research areas.
Infrastructure: There are hostels available for both boys and girls. All hostels have Wi-Fi connections and water connections. In a room, three persons will be accommodated. In our department, almost all classes are air-conditioned and have power point connections and seating arrangements. The department alone doesn’t have any library, but the university has a big common library that we can access during weekdays. For practical work, we have lab facilities, though they are not that well-developed. All hostelers have food in the mess, with chicken served twice a week, eggs twice a week, and vegetarian food on other days.
Faculty: All faculty members are well-qualified, all holding Ph.D. degrees and having excellent publications in their research fields. The teaching quality is average according to me. The curriculum of these courses prepares students not only for the food industry but also for the hospital field, such as Nutrition, Dietetics, etc. There is no difficulty level in semester examinations; if we study, we can get good scores. Marks are calculated out of 100, and the passing marks should be above 50.
