    Nutrition Science is also an allied subject of Life Sciences or Biological Sciences or Home Sciences. Therefore as you are graduated from Life Sciences or having a B.Sc Degree in Life Sciences subject then you are definitely eligible for pursuing Masters or M.Sc in Nutrition or allied fields from any recognized institutes or universities from India or even abroad. Best of luck.

Both IPU and DU are public/ government universities and are one of the oldest universities. DU admissions are tough because of the high cutoff for some colleges, whereas for IPU, admissions are comparatively easy for some colleges with low cut-offs.
