REVISED REGULATION, CURRICULUM AND SYLLABI (With effect from 2009-2010 onwards) M.Sc. Food Science and Nutrition  DEPARTMENT OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PONDICHERRY UNIVERSITY R. Venaktaraman Nagar, Kalapet, Puducherry – 605 014. PONDICHERRY UNIVERSITY M.Sc. Food Science and Nutrition REGULATIONS, CURRICULUM AND SYLLABI The specialists in Food Science and Nutrition play a vital role in promoting the quality of life of individuals and communities, which contributes significantly to the economic and overall development of the nation. This is achieved through a blend of academics, research training and extension as well as industrial applications. The post graduate programme in this discipline has been designed to provide the students with intensive and extensive theoretical and experiential learning. The programme allows flexibility in the choice of thrust areas, which students can select, based on their career goals. It is envisaged that the current scenario at the regional and national level require trained professionals in areas such as Nutraceuticals, nutrigenomics, Public Health Nutrition, Clinical and Therapeutic Nutrition, Institutional Food Administration, Food Science, Food Safety, Food Toxicology and Quality Control. Alternatively a broad-based programme covering several varied aspects in this discipline is also possible. Aim of the Course The curriculum integrating several elective courses, besides the core, has been formulated to provide professionally competent manpower for
Eligibility for Admission The candidates should have completed 10+2+3 with Food and Nutrition/Food Technology / Food Science and Quality Control / Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics or Composite / General Home Science / Biochemistry / Biotechnology / Zoology / Chemistry / Botany / Microbiology / Agriculture dairy or fisheries or any other allied science subjects under life sciences at B.Sc., level with a minimum of 50% of marks. Note: A total of 72 credits have to be taken by the students to complete the programme. If the number of credits exceeds 72, it permissible, but the calculation of the grade point average will be done on the basis of 72 credits only. Internship/On Job Training is an integral part of the programme of study. This can be arranged during the course of study or after the completion of the programme. It can be arranged in one single assignment or two. Total duration of Internship/On Job Training shall be 4 – 6 weeks. M.Sc Food science and nutrition – Course outline
