This is a branch of science, which primarily deals with home. However, the scope of this subject is quite vast and varied and surpasses beyond the area of cooking, home decoration. The subject even includes hygiene, community living, rural development, art, food, textiles, clothing and many more.

Yes, home science is good for girls. It offers a tremendous amount of opportunities and provides a treasure of knowledge in various fields.
Undergraduate Level: Although it can be taken at the +2/PUC/Intermediate level (approved by many State Boards and CBSE), the student only begins to really learn about home science at the undergraduate level. This is because the practical training begins in printing, basic tailoring, interior design, cooking, dyeing, etc. Students can choose to branch out into other fields, like fashion designing, interior decoration, etc. or go on for a Masters in home science.

This is because the practical training begins in printing, basic tailoring, interior design, cooking, dyeing, etc. Students can choose to branch out into other fields, like fashion designing, interior decoration, etc. or go on for a Masters in home science. There are more detailed courses in nutrition and dietetics, rural community extension, child development, family relations, textiles/clothing and so on. Those with creative minds as well as those with the hard-core scientific views can benefit from a home science degree. There are degrees such as the M.Sc in dietetics/food and nutrition, which is designed for the applied scientist, while the 'creative' group can choose a career in textile designing or child-care or rural work. Most of the Masters programmes require that the candidate has a B.Sc degree in home science.
The various jobs that home science can entail are:
Production jobs - this covers food preservation, dress-making, specialized cooking. Graduates of Home Science can go on to enter the textile business, fashion designing etc. or even work in hotels, the food industry, etc.
Research jobs - these projects involve educating specific segments of the population such as mothers, farmers, villagers on the food value of certain food items.
Sales jobs - sales promotion of food items (baby foods) are given to home science graduates granted they have relevant information and experience.
Service jobs - maintenance and supervision of housekeeping departments at tourist resorts, hotels, catering facilities, restaurants, etc.
Teaching jobs - The recognized qualification for a primary school teacher is a Bachelors degree in Home Science and many postgraduates also are taken on as senior secondary school teachers and college professors.
Technical jobs - manufacturing industries do require home science graduates to serve as research assistants, food analysts, food scientists, etc. Home Science students have a wide range of fields that they can enter, as the above list illustrates.
