Hello sir, I have completed PG in Nutrition with Distance mode from a UGC recognized university. I did not have studied Nutrition as a Honours subject in B.Sc Food and Nutrition. Am I eligible for NET exam? Which subject should choose for NET?

If you have scored more than 55% marks in your post graduation then you are eligible for NET exam. For applying in this exam candidates must have completed their post graduation with minimum of 55% marks.
After completion of your Post graduation in nutrition you can do PhD in food and nutrition. Thanks
