Hi,
Yes, you are eligible for the RD (Registered Dietitian) exam if you do your bachelor's in biotechnology and master's in food nutrition and dietetics. The essential requirement to become a Registered Dietitian in India typically includes:
1. Bachelor's Degree: A bachelor's degree in a relevant field, such as biotechnology, can be a good foundation.
2. Master's Degree: A master's degree in food nutrition and dietetics is specifically relevant and essential.
3. Internship/Training: Completion of a dietetic internship or a similar supervised practice program.
4. RD Exam: Passing the RD exam conducted by the Indian Dietetic Association (IDA) or other relevant bodies.
Your academic path seems suitable, but ensure you also meet any specific requirements of the internship and supervised practice to qualify for the exam.
Hope it helps !
