Quick answer: If you are searching for BS Human Nutrition & Dietetics in Kamoke, the most accessible HEC-recognised option for the area is the University of Chenab (UChenab). Kamoke is a city in the Gujranwala district on the G.T. Road, and UChenab’s campus sits on the same G.T. Road (N-5) beside the Chenab Bridge in neighbouring Gujrat — reached by travelling north through Gujranwala and Wazirabad. UChenab offers a four-year (8-semester) BS Human Nutrition & Dietetics degree through its Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, with two intakes a year (Spring and Fall). This guide explains what the degree covers, who can apply, where it can take you, and how to enrol.
A note on location, kept honest: UChenab’s campus is in Gujrat, not inside Kamoke. We say this plainly because it affects your planning. Kamoke lies on the G.T. Road south of Gujranwala city, roughly 20 km from Gujranwala. From Kamoke you travel north along the same G.T. Road — through Gujranwala and Wazirabad to the Chenab Bridge — to reach the campus, roughly 60–70 km in total. The practical upside: Kamoke sits directly on the N-5 and the main Lahore–Rawalpindi railway line, so it’s a single straight corridor to a campus that is itself on the G.T. Road — keeping it within commuting or short-relocation range rather than requiring a move to a far-off metro. Plan for around an hour and a half by road and confirm exact travel times before committing to a daily commute.

What is BS Human Nutrition & Dietetics?
BS Human Nutrition & Dietetics is a four-year undergraduate degree that studies how food and nutrients affect the human body — how we digest, absorb, and use them for energy, growth, immunity, and disease prevention. The “dietetics” side applies that science to real people: assessing nutritional status, planning therapeutic and everyday diets, and counselling patients and communities toward better health.
In short, the degree sits at the meeting point of biology, food science, and human care. That mix is what makes BS Human Nutrition & Dietetics both intellectually rich and highly employable, with demand growing across hospitals, sports, the food industry, and public health. For a city like Kamoke — long known as a regional food and agriculture hub — food science and nutrition are a natural fit.

Students across the Gujranwala division often compare options before deciding. If you are also looking at BS Human Nutrition & Dietetics in Gujranwala, Wazirabad, Sialkot, Gujrat, or Lahore, here’s how UChenab fits for a Kamoke-based student:
- Kamoke & Gujranwala — Kamoke sits on the G.T. Road in the Gujranwala district, about 20 km south of Gujranwala city. The nearest HEC-recognised home for this degree is UChenab, reached by heading north up the G.T. Road through Gujranwala and Wazirabad. For a Gujranwala-focused version of this guide, see our BS Human Nutrition & Dietetics in Gujranwala page; for the neighbouring town, see BS Human Nutrition & Dietetics in Eminabad.
- Wazirabad — directly on the route between Kamoke and the campus, so the same corridor serves Wazirabad-area students.
- Sialkot — connected along the same highway belt, making UChenab a practical near option for Sialkot-area students.
- Gujrat — UChenab’s campus is in Gujrat itself, so it is the closest recognised campus for this degree in the immediate area.

The point for Kamoke-area students: you get HEC recognition, a focused health-sciences environment, and a familiar setting reachable along the road and rail line you already use — without leaving the region.
