Hi Draman,
Interesting career choice.
A Nutritionist, is someone who guides individuals in terms of their dietary plan, knowing the composition of food and its health benefits. They cater to all sorts of issues right from weight loos to weight gain, health care, addressing health issues etc.
They have opportunities in clinics, hospitals, gyms or fitness centres, schools or educational institutes and at the same time can work independently by having their own clinics.
Answering your question. There are majorly no undergraduate programs separately, but colleges do have a B.Sc in food science and nutrition, as a specialisation at the 3 year Home-science studies.
Thus you need to have studied 12th, under PCMB and then join Home Science and choose Food science and nutrition as a specialisation at the graduate level. Please note admission to home-science after 12th, is mainly based on an entrance exam.
After that you could opt for an M.Sc and specialise in one area of nutrition.
Please note there are diploma programs available too for Graduate students, but in a long run and well established future, pursuing a masters is essential.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good luck.....
