Hello There,

 

You say you are a computer graduate.

 

But then how come you developed an interest in the field of nutritionist?

 

Anyways at this juncture, you cannot pursue a masters degree in Nutrition or food science or Homescience.

 

2 options, you have here is, that based on your 12th score, you start again the 1st year in food science and nutrition.

 

Or pursue a diploma in clinical nutrition from ITI.

There are private Institutes like VLCC, that provides short term courses, but they are valid only at their centres. You cannot practice as a nutritionist elsewhere. Hence this course is also not recommended.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Wish you good luck...
