Admission:

I had gone through various colleges and their curriculum, but it did not excite me as I felt their focus was mainly on either food science or technology or nutrition. Not much importance to clinical or applied nutrition. My interest was in applied nutrition. The subjects here interested me the most with diet- medical nutrition therapy, clinical nutrition, sports nutrition and I could do specialization in public health. I was exposed to communities- speaking to people in their homes, anganwadis, school children, one month internship after 2nd sem and 6 months internship in the 4th semester. Usually they conduct Manipal entrance test for various courses but for msc dietetics and applied nutrition we had interview. First round was with the lecturers and second round was with the principal. They also take into consideration your undergraduate marks.

So you have to apply online and they'll give you a slot for some day where you'll go through an interview with one senior scale faculty and either the vice principal or the principal.
