You can get a Bachelor's degree in nutrition and dietetics.
The courses in nutrition and dietetics are offered at Diploma, undergraduate and post-graduate level. There are institutes and universities in India offering courses viz. PG Diploma in nutrition and dietetics, B.Sc (food science and nutrition) and M.Sc (nutrition), etc. Admission to these courses is made on the basis of merit. But a few institutes/universities also conduct entrance examinations for admission.
To do the M.Sc in nutrition, one needs to have a basic graduate degree preferably in science. Preferable fields of graduation are microbiology, chemistry, home science, medicine, hotel management or catering technology. One may also pursue a year-long PG Diploma in nutrition and dietetics. Fresh graduates are trained by the F&B departments of hospitals. The PG Diploma course requires at minimum a degree in science.
To do the Bachelors in nutrition and dietetics, one should have completed intermediate in science with physics, chemistry and biology. The B.Sc (food science and nutrition) is a three-year programme.
How to become a registered dietician?
In India, in order to become a registered dietician, one needs to clear the RD exam conducted by the Indian Dietetic Association (www.idaindia.com).
And to be eligible to take this exam, you need to have:
1. B.Sc in home science in food & nutrition (Day Scholar)
2. Post Graduate Diploma in nutrition and dietetics or M.Sc in food & nutrition (only).
(This is a 3+1 format where the candidate must have done a minimum of four years in home science or food, nutrition and dietetics).
3. 6 months continuous internship (or 3+3 months) from recognised hospitals listed on the IDA website or a 2-year experience in a multispecialty hospital as a full-time dietician.
Courses and career prospects:
There are different types of dietician positions: clinical dieticians, community dietitians, management dietitians, and consultant dietitians. Each of these positions offers different career options, such as food nutrition services in hospitals, nutrition counselling in public health agencies and fitness clubs or clinical management in food service systems.

Today is the age of IT. Indian IT industry is still a big job creator with reasonably good starting salaries. B.Tech in CSE and MCA are de facto the most accepted qualifications to start the career as a software developer. MCA is a very valuable job-oriented course.
You are eligible to seek admission in MCA provided you had maths as a subject in 10+2 board. MCA syllabus is designed in various universities to cater for different streams students. Therefore, you will not face any problem during MCA studies. Few private universities allow non-maths students to do MCA. IT industry is showing an early sign of decline therefore, you must choose MCA only as a career after doing a degree from a top and prestigious university which has excellent placement records.
MBA has better job opportunities in comparison to MCA based on the current market trends. MBA graduate gets better salaries in comparison to MCA. Therefore, you must choose your profession based on your personal interests and preferences. If you are technically oriented then you may go for MCA else MBA is a good option for you too.

Hello,
As per your interest, you should pursue aerospace engineering. Aerospace is like mechanical engineering, you will also learn flight dynamics, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, space mission designing, etc. So, if you have an inclination towards mechanical side, then you must go for it.
On the other hand, avionics is more like combination of electronic s and communication, computer science and electrical. It is relatively tough to study and will take serious effort to get a decent score. You may have relatively less spare time. But, if you believe you can handle it and you do like being an avionics engineer, then go for it.
I hope it helps.

Hi,
An aerospace engineer is responsible for designing and building the structure of whatever craft it is. An avionics engineer focuses on the electronic systems used within it, i.e. the way it communicates with base camp, monitors fuel systems and reports on altitudes, temperatures and pressures.
There are two clear divisions in aerospace engineering:
Aeronautical engineering focuses on all craft inside the atmosphere, while astronautically engineering focuses on everything zooming about outside it. Given the dramatic differences in environment between the two, they are two very clear and separate specialization.
When it comes to avionics, however were talking infrastructure, computers, coding languages and a whole lot of wire. Given that the autopilot function of most commercial airliners has four separate systems in case the first three fail, nothing is left to chance.

Hi,
There is no difference between these two degree courses BE and B.Tech. Both are engineering degrees and their scope and value are the same. You will never be rejected higher education or a job just because you are a BE and not a B.Tech holder or vice versa.
The only difference in the name is because in those colleges/ universities that offer only engineering courses, the degree is known as B.Tech and in those colleges/ universities where other courses are also offered along with engineering, the title is given as BE. If you notice, there is no college/ universities that provides both BE and B.Tech courses as both are the same.
The same applies with ME and M.Tech. Both are post graduate courses and a student with a B.Tech degree is eligible to take up ME course or M.Tech course and vice versa.
All the best.
