Becoming a doctor was my dream as i could not get into a medical school I opted Bsc hons food, nutrition and dietetics to be my ideal choice as it can help me become a dietetician or allow me to help the public. The admission process was through my 12th grade mark followed by application in the TNAU portal and a counselling session.
