Premier Institute for Nutrition Sciences

Syllabus and course curriculum is very vast and is very well designed to impart knowledge in the students. There is plenty of exposure to the research field, with several seminars, workshops and conferences held on a national and international level. Advanced diet therapy is also very well covered.

There is an internship in the second year, provided by the Institute itself. No stipend was provided to us, but that may change in the subsequent years. The internship opportunity was a great experience and helps the students learn a lot and gain practical experience and exposure to dealing with real life patients that they will deal once they are in the field.

The fee structure is affordable and well designed to in a way that is quite less when compared to other colleges in India. The tuition fee is Rs.20,000/- per year and Rs.10,600/- (central quota) and Rs.9,600/- (State quota).

Extra Curricular activities are seldom organised. Sports Day, Freshers Party, Open Days, and so on are organised every year. Certain cultural events like diwali, saraswati puja are also organised. National World Nutrition Days is also observed.

The alumni network is very active and we all are called several times a year to participate in the research symposiums, conferences, seminars, workshops etc. throughout the years. There is a very large network of professionals in the Alumnus of NIN.
