Sir I have completed my b.tech in food technology in 2018. I want to continue my education and pursue PhD in food technology. Would it be wise to go for MSC in food tech?..for personal reasons I can't go for m.tech outside my hometown as there are no Google colleges here that offer m.tech in food tech. Or should I apply for RRB NTPC exam. Would have gone for RRB JE but there is no place for a food tech graduate as far as I know. Do need your advice sir.

Ans: Besides BTech FT / FP, BTech (Agriculture & Food Engineering) also you can consider. Due to less colleges for this domain, competition for top colleges will be more (for example, even IITs provide Agriculture & Food Engineering). So prepare well for Entrance Exams (if you are still in 12th or below which you have NOT mentioned) & score a good AIR to get admission into any one of the Top Colleges offering this domain. All The BEST for your Bright Future.

Ans: If you get integrated Ph.D programme in USA you can go for it and after completion of 32 credits you can exit also with MS degree. If you pursue MS then I would recommend only MS. If you get Ph.D (integrated) then certainly don't go for Masters. I will be always showing you the correct path. There is hidden fire within you, I will only add a spark to ignite it which will take you to a great height. Be in my LINKEDIN list for having permanent counselling many times in future. Bye and best wishes. Professor

Ans: Hello dear.
M.Tech @ SRM can be a reasonable choice. However, since you already have an M.Sc. in Clinical Nutrition, it may not add significant value unless it's from a top research institute. Instead, consider: (1) a Ph.D. in Nutrition or Public Health if you're inclined toward academia, (2) a PG Diploma in Dietetics or Sports Nutrition for clinical practice, or (3) international master's programs like MPH or MSc in Food Science for broader opportunities. In summary, the SRM M.Tech is acceptable, but there are better options aligned with your goals. The final choice/decision will be yours.

Good luck.
