Currently, I'm a student pursuing a degree in clinical nutrition and dietetics at Manipal University of Health Professions. I chose this field because I have a deep interest in food and its nutritional value. I was always a curious kid, so I was drawn to this subject. After completing my current degree, I plan to apply for a master's degree, ideally abroad. That's why I'm taking this test.
