My data looks like below .  
Need to filter on "progName" and "name"

{  
"name":"avinash",  
"assistance":"yes",  
"amount":10000,  
"programs":[  
{  
"progName":"Agriculture",  
"BachelorsProgs":53,  
"subs":[  
{  
"progName":"Agricultural Business",  
"BachelorsProgs":53  
}  
]  
},  
{  
"progName":"XYZ",  
"BachelorsProgs":12,  
"subs":[  
{  
"progName":"Agricultural Business",  
"BachelorsProgs":53  
}  
]  
}  
]  
}

My Mapping

{  
"mappings":{  
"university":{  
"properties":{  
"programs":{  
"type":"nested",  
"properties":{  
"progName":{  
"type":"multi\_field",  
"fields":{  
"facet":{  
"type":"string",  
"index":"not\_analyzed"  
},  
"progName":{  
"type":"string"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

{  
"query":{  
"filtered":{  
"query":{  
"match\_all":{

```
        }
     },
     "filter":{
         "bool": {
         "must": [
            {"term": {
               "name": "avinash"
            }}
         ]
         },
        "nested":{
           "path":"programs",
           "filter":{
              "bool":{
                 "must":[
                    {
                       "term":{
                          "programs.progName":"bible"
                       }
                    },
                    {
                       "range":{
                          "programs.BachelorsProgs":{
                             "gt":0
                          }
                       }
                    }
                 ]
              }
           }
        }
     }
  }

```

}  
}
