Can I get admission for B.Sc food and dietetics in LPU without attempting NEST examination?

LPU offers the programme I. e. B.Sc. (Nutrition and Dietetics) which is of 3 years of duration.

The profession of dietetics contributes to the promotion of health and the prevention and treatment of illness by optimising the nutrition of populations, communities and individuals. Dietitians have a defined and recognisable body of knowledge and utilise scientific principles and methods in the study of nutrition and dietetics, applying these results to influence the wider environment affecting food intake and eating behaviour. The scope of dietetic practice is such that dietitians may work in a variety of settings and have a variety of work functions. LPU provides a great academic exposure to its students. It provides a chance to the students to attend guest lectures or workshops, so that they get to learn as much as they can. The students also work on live projects, so that they are able to apply their knowledge to practical settings. It is one of the few that has embraced international practices when it comes to designing a curriculum. Admissions are going on, apply soon without any delay to grab the opportunity.

<p>Admission to the&nbsp; Food and Dietetics programme at Lovely Professional University (LPU) typically requires attempting the LPUNEST examination. However, I couldn't find specific information on the (link unavailable) Food and Dietetics program, but LPU does offer a (link unavailable) (Hons.) Food Technology program.</p><p>For the (link unavailable) (Hons.) Food Technology program, eligibility criteria and admission processes are outlined on the LPU website. While LPUNEST scores are considered for admission and scholarship purposes, I recommend checking with LPU's admissions office directly for the most up-to-date information on admission requirements for the (link unavailable) Food and Dietetics programme.</p><p>It's also worth noting that LPU offers various scholarship schemes, including the COVID-19 Frontline Scholarship and scholarships based on LPUNEST performance. Exploring these options may provide valuable financial assistance for your education.</p>

<p>At Lovely Professional University (LPU), admission to the B.Sc. in Food and Dietetics programme does not necessarily require taking the NEST exam. While the NEST exam is often used for scholarship eligibility, it is not a prerequisite for admission. If you prefer not to sit for the NEST exam, you can still gain admission by meeting the basic eligibility requirements, which are based on your 10+2 academic performance.</p><p>However, taking the NEST exam can be beneficial if you are looking to qualify for scholarships that can make your education more affordable. That said, direct admission is also a straightforward option at LPU, allowing you to start your educational journey in the field of food and dietetics without any complications.</p>
