Career outcomes

Where this degree takes you

Same diet, different results — that's genetics. Nutrigenetics is the science of matching nutrition to a person's DNA, and the people trained in it are still rare. Here's you, four years from now.

Clinical Nutrition

You design nutrition plans in hospitals that go beyond generic diet charts — built on a patient's actual biology.

Genetic Testing Companies

You read a client's DNA report and design the diet that actually fits them — a role that barely existed ten years ago.

Sports Science

You work with athletes on performance nutrition matched to their genetics, not copied from a magazine.

Research Labs

You're the one running the studies others quote — with a pathway to PhD right here at ITHS.

Food & Wellness Industry

You help brands build personalised nutrition products — one of the fastest-growing spaces in health.

Why ITHS

Taught by people who built this field

India's first Nutrigenetics academic programme

Not a module inside another course — a full degree pathway, the first of its kind in the country.

Real genetics & nutrition labs on campus

You learn by doing — hands on equipment from year one, not watching slides about it.

Faculty who invented things in this field

Led by scientists with patents and published research — a Founder with a PhD in Nutrigenetics and 8+ patents, and a Director with a PhD in Medical Genetics, 15+ patents and 30+ publications.

UGC-approved degrees

Awarded through Rayat Bahra University, Mohali — UGC-approved qualifications, with placement support built in.

Common questions

Straight answers

Is this the same as a dietician course?

No. A dietician course teaches standard diet planning. Nutrigenetics goes a layer deeper — how a person's genes decide what food actually does to them. It opens roles a general dietetics degree doesn't, like genetic testing companies and personalised-nutrition research.

What's the eligibility for BSc and MSc?

BSc: 12th with Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Home Science. MSc: a BSc in Life Sciences, Genetics, Biotechnology, Microbiology, MLT, or an MBBS / BDS / BVSc and allied degrees. If you're unsure whether you qualify, drop your details above and the team will confirm on a quick call.

What are the fees?

Scholarships of up to ₹1,00,000 on course fees are available, with an additional SC/ST scholarship. The admissions team shares the complete fee structure and your eligible scholarship on a quick call or WhatsApp. No obligation.

What does the admission process look like?

Share your details, the team calls you back within 24 hours to explain eligibility and documents, and guides you through the application step by step. You can ask everything before committing to anything.

Where is the campus?

The programme runs at ITHS, Rayat Bahra University, Mohali. The admissions team can share directions and arrange a campus visit if you'd like to see the labs.
