Hello,

I think you've got a misconception about the BDC students in chemistry honours are not eligible for MSC in food and nutrition.

See, the individual is qualified and eligible for taking admission in the MSC course focused on FOOD AND NUTRITION.

Eligibility criteria: The candidate must have cleared the undergraduate in B.SC chemistry, B.SC Botany, B.SC Biochemistry, B.Sc in Home Science, Nutrition etc.

So, you can apply for MAC in food and nutrition after ousting graduation in B.SC chemistry honour.

I hope you get your answer.

Thanks!!
